I LOVE THORN.
It's so freaking awesome in PvE and PvP.
Yes, it's awful for reloading, on PvE it's not that bad but in PvP, the lingering damage owns. Two to four shots (body, class dependent) and I nail my opponent. I heart my Thorn.

The 10,000 points isn't all that bad, you'll have it in a few good games. The whole bounty really isn't worth it though, the gun is trash.. Probably one of the most useless in the entire game, I'm considering braking mine down for energy.

It's due a buff soon so I wouldn't dismantle it as it may well become an excellent weapon in the future. Besides, I tend to keep exotics in the locker as I want a whole collection of them 
I have Atheon's Epilogue, Juju, Red Death, Suros & hard light.
Juju is literally a waste of an exotic slot. High rate of fire, kicks a lot when you try to fire it in full auto and the clip is so short that you spend more time reloading than dealing any decent damage.
Red Death is disappointing too, fires far too slow, it just can't deal out the damage quick enough. You can manage with Red Death but Juju is just pointless IMO.

I really hope the Thorn, Bad juju and Mythoclast (more reserve ammo) get significant buffs, because if the Thorn only gets a slight reload speed increase I will cry.
The Thorn at the very least needs the damage over time effect to be reapplied with every shot, not stack but instead reset the counter on how long until it wears off because at the moment how it is now is pretty underwhelming, also a clip size increase as well as a reload buff would make it a damn good weapon.
Bad Juju definitely needs a clip increase badly if it's going to be viable in boss fights or PvP because at the moment it's laughable and with the stability perk I still find it kicks all over the place at the moment.
Mythoclast just needs the 34% damage reduction removed for PvE and also could do with a buff to reserve ammo, because when using field scout it almost triples your clip size but adds very little to reserve ammo unlike most other weapons which use the perk. With field scout and my armor that gives fusion rifles more ammo I'm capped out at 210 total ammo which is quite frankly a joke with the Mythoclasts rate of fire. It's fine in PvP because there are ammo chests everywhere and you're killing less stuff where as in PvE there is far more to shoot and kill and if it's a boss fight it could be difficult finding primary weapon ammo frequently enough in certain situations.

Well that was a mixed weekend playing Destiny. It started off poorly when we attempted the Nightfall and got stuck at the first Wizard / Hallowed Knight. I don't know if it bugged out or not but we could get through the first doorway due to their constant barage of fire. The Arc damage modifier really tore our defence to pieces.
Then to top off this I hit level 4 on the VG and what did I get? I legendary sniper perhaps? A legendary AR? No, a single sodding piece of Ascendant energy..... Urgh
.
After that things got a lot better. I have been spending quite a bit of time leveling up my secondary Hunter so I can have two characters for heroics etc. I decided to take the chance on Xur's Exotic engram as I had copious amounts of motes of light without anything to spend them on (is there anything beyond Xur?!). Decoded the engram (smashing through half a Cryptarch level in process
) and low and behold it is gauntlets for a hunter. Result!
She is only lvl 17 at the moment but as soon as she hits lvl 20 then things get interesting.
Also giving her the weapons my main Warlock doesn't want (or need) is really helping on some of the missions. The Strangers rifle (which isn't that great in comparison to legendary weapons) is helping her along quite nicely (219 damage is pretty decent against lvl 16 Cabal).
Should get her to lvl 20 tonight without much fuss.

I started my third character yesterday, it feels odd playing as a Titan and suddenly, all weak and vulnerable in PvE. Levelling her as a Defender first because I want to try a defensive class rather than run and strike like my other 2 characters. Definitely a different style of play.
Should have her at level 20 by the end of the week so I can equip her with Suros/Atheon Epilogue!

Do you keep forgetting that you are only a low level, running straight into a fight you would normally breeze and end up dying instead? If so then welcome to the club....
Even at level 17 I am still getting caught out. It is also annoying not having Fireborn (self revive) on strikes / darkness zones.
Also had a mixed weekend here, Managed to get a very bad group full of kids who would just talk crap right up-to Atheon, after a few tries 2 players left and that was that.
Managed to get a newbie group last night who were at Atheon checkpoint, managed to take lead and walk them through the encounter, did it after a few wipes and managed to get the raid Chest, now just need the other 3 bits!
Need a couple of shards to hit level 29 then onto the hard mode.

Aye.
I can no longer 1 shot kill scrawny little minions! Doing the Earth Strike at level 7 felt like I was doing the blooming heroic, with arc burn from enemies only! Snipers knocks my shields off in 1 hit.
Does make me like my Titan more though. Hearing her scream rather than grunt like the male characters. Wait, now I sound a little sadistic...

I did that. I did that a lot.
It's really difficult for me to remember that I'm only level 25, and that the level 28 Nightfall will decimate me. Also I can't just keep my super for when I die, since I can't self revive!
Probably shouldn't have made a Sunsinger as my first character

Ah yes the scream.... both my characters are female so I am used to it. My hunter is also a moody ***** as she seemingly refuses to wave / point or dance when I want her to.

Fireborn is fantastic but I keep forgetting to save my super and inevitably die / wipe right after using it.

I think the Bad Juju pvp bounty must have been altered I got this last week and did the 10k points in an evening, got over 1k in my first control match and i suck at pvp.
The hardest part was having to wait for xur to spawn on friday.
