there are so many posts saying "Thorn needs a buff! It's garbage!" which is true. but..... [spoiler]ALL PRIMARIES NEED A BUFF[/spoiler]
but I think I know how to fix the mark of the devourer perk. instead of a consistent stream of the same damage, we could have the perk become less powerful over time. for example, say you land a shot. The burn starts off doing 5 damage, then 4, then 3, then 2, then 1. i don't know the exact numbers on the current and past burn damage, but imo this would make the thorn balanced again

First of all, Bungie, RANGE!!! Just, why? Second of all, the burn effect the you suggested would work perfectly! Fixing the range and adding that burn effect would put it in the top tier again without it being actually overpowered.
