It's a beast to own and a badge to wear. Many have given up on the Thorn because of its difficult and painful list of task. That's a lot of its value. But it does pay you back handsomely in pvp experience used in future matches from map knowledge to tactics. That being said, it also can play a big role in strikes and raids where tough bosses toting thick Regen shields are brought to their knees. I'm on my second Thorn bounty to place in the (soon to be capable) hands of my Titan.
