Great read I agree with almost all your points. However I do think thorn needs a slight nerf. It's the only guaranteed two shot headshot in the game (excluding obvious things snipers ect.). Red death come close with a 2 burst.
For balance I think thorn needs a slight nerf to its aim assist since the buff it hands out headshots like candy. I also wouldn't be opposed to tweaking it so the two shot headshot is possible but not guaranteed again but not return it to exactly how it was before.
This would also be with a concurrent AR buff and after all the dust is settled probably need a slight red death nerf. The tweaks can't be huge that was the problem bungie cause before. Every change they make is huge.

[quote]Every change they make is huge.[/quote] Like ARs needing a slight reduction in effective range, so they make the damage fall off sooner... And they say f**k it and nerf the hell out of overall damage too for no reason?

Pretty much at first I thought oh they went extreme and will come back to a balance later after testing it....so far nothing
