I should have taken some clips of those games, but I didn't because I didn't do anything AMAZING, just very careful precise playing.
This is the closest I had, though it isn't particularly special. I'll play a few rounds tonight and take some clips to share.

As you enter the final combat area you will see a ledge to your left and up. You can jump up their and have a pretty substantial view of the entire arena. From there you can safely have three people on the ledge killing adds and the boss. The only adds that can effectively damage you from there are the servitors and boss but the boss doesn't shoot very hard. To take cover you just move to the right and a rock formation shields you from the action.
The one directly below the disc drive
Ohhhhh, that one. I haven't removed it because of my weird OCD. I hate when stickers leave a sticky residue when removed...so yeah I'm too scared to remove it lol!

I thought they were supposed to buff it and Bad JuJu and they just nerfed it?

Ive been downloading for an hour and a half with non stop issues. Now finally it says the download will finish in 70 seconds and instead crashes over and over and over and over.
This is the worse experience I've ever had patching anything on PS4. Shit is rediculous.

Has anyone actually used Thorn yet since the patch?
If the increased impact makes up for the DoT then it might not be the worst thing ever. Although if that's the case I'm not sure why they'd bother changing anything if the overall damage ends up being the same as before the patch.

in all honesty, it easily could have been. I'm also not positive but I think SOMETHING about it was buffed, too- maybe impact or accuracy. They shouldn't have done this piece without the corresponding buff, though, if intentional.
Yes, I have. So there is increased impact?

Thanks for the pics. I am a bit confused about where C is in that pic?
Awesome! Thank you, will watch soon as I get back in my room!
They might as well remove the DoT and give it something else for a perk then. A 3 point tick isn't going to do anything. Most of the time I used it before and the 7 point tick didn't finish off people either. It's an even more worthless DoT now.

To the south of where it used to be (in the middle) near the edge of the map.
They've also boarded up all windows except the back three in the building.
It almost seems like all the guns in the game were designed initially with PvE in mind,
and they only did limited internal play testing with their commando players that work for Bungie,
and now they are doing all these gut reaction nerfs every time enough players whine on Bungies forums about unfair PvP.

Supposedly that was what the trade off was according to Reddit. More impact with less DoT.
Have you noticed much of a difference in your performance with it?

Thorn got a motherfucking nerf?!?! Are you actually shitting me Bungie?!
It's a gun that was to be buffed not Nerfed.
Jesus Christ do they honestly have a clue what the hell they are doing?
It was a 7 DMG tick. Such bullshit. They'd be as well removing the perk now as its doing next to nothing anyway.

New ABC control points on Blind Watch.
They've also changed spawn points and heavy ammo spawn points.
Damn, so much better. The old places were so annoying.
That's a great idea.
Heh, were people getting lost or something? It's not that big of a hub area.

Unless the added impact makes up enough of a damage difference to where 3 points would finish them off.
Sunday afternoon we has 2 L30s and 4 L29s. We started at HM gatekeepers and that took quite awhile. Some people gave up and we went back to GK with 3 L30s and 3 L29s. Finally got past GKs. Coo, now we're at HM Atheon. We made too many mistakes I am sure but saw the game glitch quite a bit as well. Like those supllicants came through the portal and killed relic holder. only 2 people getting teleport because a guy died right before
One of the L29s didnt even have maxed weapons. So whenever they got ported to Oracles they couldnt kill shit fast enough. dont know why they let that L29 into the group but whatevs
I was on my L29 defender titan with a maxed subclass + all maxed weapons (VoC, Ballarhorn, praydeth's sniper). But man I'm not enjoying HM raid. These mobs make me feel like anything but a tank. When I enter the portal to help killa gatekeeper all I can do is fire off 2 rockets and then exit the portal leaving the L30 to fend for themselves lol
Thanks guys for listening to my sob stories. I realize I should obviously just stick to Normal. But RNG is being a bitch and only drops chest pieces.
Fuck cant take this shit anymore I guess
Great game tho. Cant take that away from it. But its burning up too much of my free time
lol did people actually get lost in the tower? the fuck?

Looks like it further back in the C area. Now assholes can't ambush you from the top window. It made C almost impossible to capture.
Thanks. I still need to run NF on an alt, so I'll give this a shot.

Ahaha thanks Bungie, was really struggling finding my way around The Tower.
Nothing to do with your image, but just something I've been wondering for awhile now. What is the point of the "Missions" section?
Plz check your PMs.
Pffff I can't get any work done while knowing Bungie STEALTH nerfed my Thorn!
So, they nerf my favorite PVP weapon...You BASTARDS!

If the thorn really is 2 damage per tick now it's another case of DoT being rather rubbish in Destiny.
A likely story!
Can't read twitter at work, can you copy paste what he said?

They didn't intend for people to notice it~

I think it's 3 (down from 7).

They are still buffing it with all of the other exotics. Unfortunately, we do not know when.
I hope to see another patch soon.
If they increase rate of fire and clip size then 3 points will be enough.
Lol - did I give Bungie too much credit?
Don't worry, Bungie is on the case! They'll fix it soon, which means at least 2 months from now. Like the Vex over-nerf, they take these things seriously.

I'd honestly accept it if they buffed the damage over time on Mobs.
