Throwing knifes
So I know this nerf was a while back but there was no reason to nerf the throwing knife. If I recall, you guys said that you didn't want throwing knifes to 1 hit if they had incendiary blade. But what I think was stupid was that you nerfed the base damage and the burn tick damage. Honestly I don't think either of them should have been nerfed. If people ran low armor they could burn out by a throwing knife hit to the head with incendiary. And you said you don't want that to happen but I'm not sure if you guys realized that if someone got 1 hit and burned out it was their fault because they either had the lowest armor or were lower light. And if they didn't want to die in 1 hit with burn then they could up their armor. Now throwing knives don't have enough base damage and it wastes the perk where hitting a headshot with it would reset its cool down. I run gunslinger and have for a while and I used to be able to use a pulse and a sniper with gunslinger and I included throwing knifes into it. It was a necessity for my success and now that throwing knifes don't have enough base damage for me to run a pulse and rely on them I have to use a hand cannon. And I don't know about other people, but I like to try to not use the meta. And if I do want to run them with a pulse it requires me to use incendiary blade just to have a chance at killing them. I could rant more but I'm tired and I hope you get my point.

They meant Khepri sting+ incendiary blade. That one shots everything

3 AntwortenIf you are on ps4, send me a friend request. I main a hunter, and I use gunslinger a lot. I have a lot of experience with the throwing knives, so I may be able to help you find a good combo that works for you. :)

4 AntwortenThrowing knives are excellent despite their reduced damage. The only issue now is you have to use a hard hitting weapon if you want to tap/knife someone. I've been 'maining' a gunslinger for some weeks now and gunslinger is very powerful still. You need to change your play style a little but throwing knives are still very powerful.

11 AntwortenThink of it like this. Stormcaller doesn't get a one shot melee for it's amazing range. Sunbreaker doesn't get one for it's DoT. Throwing Knife can deal more damage than stormcaller without burn if you land a precision hit. With burn, it does more damage than both. It's balanced. People say Destiny isn't realistic because a throwing knife doesn't one shot to the head. You expect a knife like that to penetrate armor that we have? Destiny isn't meant to be realistic.

3 AntwortenI wonder if khepris sting works with throwing knives.

I just want to say why make a hard to use melee weaker? I mean we LOSE the charge if we miss.

I agree the knife nerf was out of left field and suprised everyone, given it was something no one was asking for. I also agree that how the nerf was done was very clumsy. The problem was the burn making a knife hit a one shot kill, but only if you were using the burn perk. If nerfing was needed, the perk should have been nerfed, not the whole knife. The reason, as I remember, was that Gun Slingers had a very slightly higher KD than other classes, and this with the tripmine nerf was Bungie's attempt at balance. It was a poor attempt at balance (especially the knife), and really should be revisited.

3 AntwortenAlso one of the striker melee abilities allows it to one hit kill sometimes, it doesn't always happen but it is a thing. I run max armor and I am high light, and I've been 1 hit at 100% health and shields by storm fist multiple times in year 3

2 AntwortenI completely agree with this. I've thrown my knife at people and the burn never started has this happened to you?
