Yeah, I guess they were trying to balance the Damage over Time but it nerfed the gun terribly. It is outclassed by most legendary/exotic handcannons. If you get armor pieces that give a boost to Hand Cannons and use them in conjunction, you can beast out with them. Two shots to the head in the Iron Banner with my Hawkmoon and they're dead.Only 6?
You gotta get gauntlets that boost the reload speed of hand cannons. My hunter Gauntlets do that. Even that paired with Chain of Woe (Faster reload after precision kills) is too slow for me with Thorn. Hope they up the mag size or speed up the reload speed. 6 bullets for an exotic/legendary mag is just disrespectful. You guna love the Damage over Time with the Thorn once you upgrade it. It's fun for PVP. Watch them flee then die around the corner.
Hawkmoon is still my hand cannon of choice but Thorn is the dopest looking weapon in the game.
My Lord High Fixxer that I got from an engram had 11 at least. Hand cannons are nice, and I wish I used them more. I am tempted to try to use the Lord High Fixxer a little more since it is just sitting in my vault now.
I got pissed off yesterday at a team that were running around with fusion rifles and pulled out Pocket Infinity Fusion Rifle with 8 mag auto fire. Cleared the three guys who were camping on a control zone and fusion rifling people a few times in a row. After about 2 minutes their whole team left. I try not to use it in the crucible because it's very cheap, but when people abuse fusions, I just spam the Pocket Infinity and laugh at them.
