    Well, I have had Condensed Thorn ever since the books were released.

    Pros, Being the only Elemental attack for sins. Easily spammable.
    Cons, The skill doesn't seem to convert much dmg into water, Makes it kinda under powered.

    It has only by far added 200-300ish to my dmg output.

    That is because that is how +elemental dmg skils work.

    Might I suggest you read this thread? (click on the word)

    Or the most importent line of the whole thread:
    4) Fire Damage = (minimum attack of bow + maximum attack of bow) / 2 * Blazing Arrow Percent
    or
    Fire Damage = Average Damage from WEAPON ONLY * Blazing Arrow Percent

    Condenced thorn works by the avarage of the number (times the perecentage it sais) that shows on your weapon in water dmg. NOT a percentage of your actual dmg

    I was sure I heard about that before. But thanks for clearing it up. :)
    Which from what I understand makes the elemental dmg kinda static and un affected
    by any dmg boosts, sparks ..etc. Which is the part that sucks hence putting the elemental
    power at minimal use. b:surrender
