I think Thorn is OP as hell right now (Destiny)

Body shots from Thorn are more deadly at range than body shots from sniper rifles. Up close it feels on the level with TLW, Hawkmoon or shotguns, but at mid range and beyond, it's the strongest weapon in the game. Bonus: it punches through allies and enemies, so you never get your shots blocked by overzealous teammates, and you can mow down a whole column of foes in two bursts. Double bonus: Thorn's DoT delays shield regen, which effectively negates a portion of your "recovery" stat and takes you out of combat for longer than any other gun, regardless of whether you survive or not. Simply being hit once by thorn reduces your overall time fighting at full strength more than being shot by any other weapon.
