That's why it's exotic. It's exotic perk is damage over time. Why are people always bitching and complaining about it's exotic perk? Like honestly just deal with it, yes it's effective again but like let's compare to a more used exotic in pvp like mida. You don't see anyone complaining about the mida when playing in a 3v3 match I will see the mida 6x more often than thorn. If someone is using it let them use it and not put them down for it, maybe they're throwing it back to year one in the good ole days before bungie -blam!-ed us all over
