Man I'm pretty sure they increased RoF. This thing fires super fast now. Didn't the notes say increased RoF too? Either way, the bar seems bigger. The fact that they increased stability is hilarious too, the gun is too good.
bungie pls
What activity were you doing?

Nope. Absolutely sure they never touched the rate of fire. The stability and better weapon handing are what make the Thorn feel faster to shoot. The kickback is no more, so you have faster firing.
whichever you prefer. they're both better, but you definitely need to use them differently than something like suros.
i'm happy to say that every gun I thought needed help got some, and the only disappointment for me is that pocket infinity seems really wonked up. just a bug, but sucks. I don't think plan c needed a buff, and fusions could see a range reduction for oneshots across the board, but all in all it's good stuff. you definitely need to watch out for thorn now, which does change the feel of things a little bit.
I may have missed this but to anyone that has dismantled a fully leveled (xp) exotic weapon, did you receive additional exotic shards similar to receiving additional energies for a fully leveled weapon? Also, for anyone that had dupes to test, do the exotic bounty weapons give exotic shards? I'll start selecting SGA if that is the case instead of dismissing them.

i hope next patch reduces fusion rifle range across the board. with that change and a tweak to heavy machine gun ammo drops, i think the sandbox will finally be "balanced".

Any elite PvP players willing to help me with the Thorn Crucible bounty?

Killing Xyor with 3 guardians is SO much easier than solo. We did wipe, but luckily we got a self-res in right before Xyor spawned.
You're right, dunno why I thought they said they did in the notes - just checked. Wow, what a difference it makes.

Helped Greenymac with it and another earlier this evening. Wasn't difficult.
Yah, I thought the same thing originally, and if I never rocked the Thorn during Iron Banner, I wouldn't have noticed as quickly as I did.
Hawkmoon users beware now!
Only in PVP of course. I don't want to see any nerfs in PVE; that should be the playground of craziness.
Things I hope to get this week.
Vex Mythoclast
Vision of Confluence
Fatebringer
Hunter Raid Gloves and Chest
Hezen Vengeance
Hawkmoon
Aspect of Glass
Bittersteel
Suros Regime
Icebreaker
Praedyth's Revenge
Praetorian Foil
Pretty much a huge chunk of the raid weapons. Once I get even 2/3 of that list I'll be happy.

An easy fix they could do is remove accelerated coils...
Well, that would definitely buy us some more valuable time to counter fusion rifles out in the open. I still want a range nerf personally but the fast charge rates are what trivialize a lot of the timing and planning one should have when getting a FR kill.

Thanks orthogonal. Took awhile and was a pita but thankfully we are part of the Thorn club now.
I had helped someone before and it wasn't nearly as much of a chore as this time, but I am glad it's done. Thanks for getting to Phogoth on your own for me.
Let em cry. I personally don't mind the grind, but if I go full time next year (here's hoping), anything to make playing the game easier is fine by me.
Awesome! Enjoy it man, its one of the top tier handcannons in the game, period.
EDIT: dude, what a baller avatar...

Holy crap so many Thorn posts coming out of the woodwork. Lol
On another note, just used the Vex in PVP for the first time post buff. It's a very good weapon. Put it on someone's head and it's going to melt them down fast.
Really REALLY liking these changes. The best nerf is a good buff, Bungie. Hope you learned that already and dont listen to the cry babies.

Has the Monte Carlo gotten that much better now? Will probably take it into Crucible tonight. Glad I stuck by that badboy. Now all I have to do is get accustomed to less recoil now.

What were you playing? I'm a relatively poor PvP, but I think I do better kill wise in control or team modes. Helps if you're with someone so you can stay together. I'm on this part too, put it off for months.

90 or so hours later I discover that you can get ascendant materials from Daily Story missions level 26+. Wow this makes things so much better. I though I had to grind out public events and the raid over and over
