Thorn is the most balanced weapon ive used in a long time. This is coming from someone who used the shit out of it in Year 1 when it was just way to good. Its still has amazing range BUT you cant spam shots like you use to be able to othewise it becomes really inaccurate, it still hits hard but the DoT is perfect in my opinion and its rare that it kills me or when im using it kills others. Rather then DoT always killing people i find that the 3rd or 4th shot is killing them which is how the gun should be.
