Let's talk about the Hunter throwing knives.
I would like to have a calm, civilized conversation about the Hunter throwing knives. I believe that the headshot damage, not the base damage by any means, should be increased. My reasoning is...
Titans have a one shot melee, the shoulder charge, and I have also seen titans regenerate health upon dealing melee damage.
Warlocks have an ability that allows them to receive an extra overshield upon landing a melee hit.
Hunters, Gunslinger in particular, have no way to land a melee and immediately kill someone apart from using there exotic slot and having to be invisible AND behind the enemy. I use Gunslinger, and I can land a headshot with the knife AND have the burn ability active, and not receive a kill. I believe that that should be rewarded with a kill, especially with a burn. Even if a basic throwing knife (without the burn) would not make a 1 shot, a precision shot AND the burn affect should.
Edit: Due to a common misunderstanding, I am implying that the burn should kill the person. I don't believe a basic knife should be able to kill a player with one shot. The incendiary knife perk would have to be active in able to get the kill.
Edit: Due to a common statement, which I do believe to be true, I think that of this was applied, the hit box for the head should also become smaller. I will agree, I have made a few knife shots that I thought were going to miss completely.
Edit: Let's go guys! 100 replies! Keep posting that input! I'm loving your guy's opinions on the matter.

Please vote and leave your opinion below on whether you think this should be changed or not. I would like to keep this calm and without all the fighting and arguing. I'm not crying for it to be buffed, but it should be considered given the abilities of the other classes.
Edit: Just to make this clear, you would have to use the incendiary knife perk. I don't know how many times I have to say this. That perk takes the place of the precision reset perk, so you could not run around constantly making knife kills. Please understand this. I'm getting tired of explaining this to each person.

I agree to an extent. Hunter Throwing Knives should be buffed up but also have a smaller hit box, that way it would reward a skilled hand but also one hit on a head shot. But that should also mean that the perk for two TKs and cool down reset perk should be on a 1-3 second wait period before you can throw another. For example, you get a delicious head shot with your first TK but you have to wait a few seconds before you'll be able to throw your second, as to prevent an entire team massacre(though that would be cool). You get me? Lol As for the Warlock Flame Shield. There seems to be a few heartbeats in between the time it takes for me to melee and for the shield to actually come up, now I'm not sure if that is just lag or a game mechanic but it's my observation. But if it is a game mechanic I'd say it would need to be an instant activation to be brought on par with the Shoulder Charge and buffed Throwing Knife being both OHKs. If you have any opinions on my opinions reply bro ;) lets throw some opinions around.
