Yeah, exotic weapon balance is PvP's real problem. (Destiny)

And my original contribution was that I am killed by Thorn regularly, and by Legendary HCs non-regularly. But you ignored that, and focused on the peripheral stuff (where I said I don't have Thorn, but I CAN speak to the line between Exotic and Legendary).

Thorn is far more powerful, right now, than most (all?) Legendary HCs in the game. As it should be (since it's an exotic).

Which I also think is fine, to a point. Iconic's point (I think) is that it's a shame (or a waste) for a few weapons to be so much better than the rest. It's too bad that a few Exotics are that much better than other exotics. Sorta like DMR/BR convergence in Halo MP.

Is there a similar discrepancy in secondary Exotics, I wonder?

I must be bad at head-shots, because my DYK is way less viable than it once was. Or maybe I got lazy? But I think one of Destiny's strengths is that there are so many other ways to kill that a person can switch up as needed. Which is where this all started - preserve access to special ammo so that I can shotgun you Last Word 1%-ers.

Not jealous at all.
