Lumina vs Thorn PVE

I want to use one but idk which

Personally not a fan of either, rather Ace of Spades. Those precision shots...

There's a nice little ditty 'bout it on Red:

PvE? I wouldn't use either of those options. Although Thorn does have a pretty decent build with nercotic grips, If I remember correctly. So I'm guessing the best option would be thorn?

Personally, I would use DMT/Hawkmoon/Arbelest instead of Lumina or Thorn.

Don't think either are terribly popular for PvE.

Take a look at the Ace of Spades and the Sunshot maybe.

Oh yeah, Hawkmoon is good too.

If you're a Warlock, both weapons have insane synergies with a couple of Warlock armor exotics. Lumina with Boots of the Assembler, and Thorn with Necrotic Grip.

Ehhh, i'm giving it to lumina for pve.. Yes there is synergy with thorn and necrotic but lumina + boots of the assembler is better in most situations.

And even without necrotic/boots of the assembler or on titan/hunter, lumina is overall the better pick due to it's ability of just spamming heal compared to a bit of burn/tick damage that thorn has.

Thorn is a good exotic perk trapped inside a below average handcannon. It does synergize with necrotic grip but like, osteo striga does it x20 better.
Lumina can see some very niche use but like, mega niche.
If you're looking for some hancannon goodness i do recommend sunshot with a solar build, thing can get some nasty synergy, even if it could be better (never forget than bunge decided to update skyburner's for solar 2.0 but not sunshot, smh my head).

Lumina gives 35% damage buff for you and the ally you shot.
Thorn is only good on Warlock with Necrotic Grips.
