Thorn has a slow reload speed and only holds 6 rounds, when you compare it to the legendary hand cannons from vendors(Devil You Know and Lord High Fixer) they have better stats and 12 round magazines. Thorn is fine damage wise but it needs more rounds in the mag or it needs a much faster reload time. Thorn is an exotic, it should have a benefit over using the Legendary Hand Cannons from the vendors.
Also they need to make it so that every shot reapplies the DoT, as it stands only your first shot applies the DoT so it's wearing off by the time you get your last shot off.

Seriously. Double the reload speed, leave everything else alone, and grab a coke. Why does my 12 round Devil reload faster than my 6 round thorn? And my Devil has higher impact. Or better yet. Drop the last round bonus damage and make it reload lightning quick on precision kills. Done. Thank me later,

Agreed on both counts, or kind of. The Thorn's reload speed in my opinion is by far it's absolute worst attribute. I haven't gotten to the DoT perk yet, so I can't offer an opinion on that.
