Since the beta I've mained a Hunter and Gunslinger is my go to Subclass and Favorite. I use it in both PVE and Crucible when I can and it could really use a buff. I made a Thread the other day about how to improve Hunter for PVE and today I realised that I never used the perk Circle of Life. The only time I could ever imagine using it was leveling up in the first day of Destiny and it being quickly replaced with something else. This perk is the definition of situational and nowhere would it be useful.
I made this video showing exactly what the perk does. I used it today before I thought of recording to see how much time it gives and I though the perk was broken because I saw no difference. I added the timers and killing an enemy with your throwing Knife adds an additional 2 seconds of time which is nothing.
Let me Explain why this perk fails
1. Two Seconds is nowhere near enough extra time to add.
2. You have to actually kill the enemy with your Throwing Knife, good luck doing that with Vex.
3. You only have 1 knife and it's gone after you throw it.

Remove the Perk and add it's effect to Knife Juggler or have it be an artifact. The perk is in the Throwing Knife tree and something far more useful can be added there like the ability to pick up your knife, travel faster/farther and maybe even a slight tracking perk. If you want to add a perk that increases Golden Gun Time replace the perk Deadeye with one that increases Golden Gun time.

This way there is some risk reward, do I use my last shot or try and get an additional shot by risking a throwing knife kill?
