Thorn buff suggestions
Since we know the Thorn buff is coming, lets discuss it. First off, I love Thorn, I think it performs well, but it's not quit that "exotic." There are many small issues with Thorn that would be fine by themselves, but add up to be a bigger plight. 6 shots with the current damage output is not enough to register a reload speed slower than a machine gun. The 2nd skill tree doesn't go with the gun. I would replace them with High-caliber rounds(Thorn doesn't have much stability to begin with, so why not?), Send it(This thing is like a sniper rifle already), and and flared magwell(That is if Bungie decides not to change the reload speed, if they DO upgrade reload speed, I'd replace this with field scout or something that increases max mag size). And of course we all know that the MoTD timer needs to be fixed. It should either stack(2 rounds make lingering damage do 14 instead of 7) or refresh the timer with each shot. Feel free to post more suggestions below.

The dot should refresh on every hit at a minimum. I know it will not be popular but I don't really have a problem with the reload speed. I'd rather see the dot perk improved upon. I think doing that would keep the weapon more in line with what bungie stated how they would like to see exotics. Please don't scrap the send it or prefect balance perks. Logically I feel the dot should stack in time and/or damage in pve to compensate for the slow reload and 6 bullet/thorn capacity. I can understand not having that in pvp as many would feel it is over powered then. I don't understand the need for field scout as if you are a hand cannon user you probably already equipped your armor to carry more hc ammo. Btw I have my thorn leveled up minus the last few damage upgrades and also have fully leveled up the last word and fully leveled up the devil you know.
