2 RepliesCuz they were OP and everybody complained about them unlike Stormcaller. Cuz that's balanced
-
3 RepliesBecause bungie loves warlocks
-
Because they wanted to change the meta so they unbalanced the subclasses.
-
Because hunters bitched about melee range?
-
It was nerfed because it could oneshot a low armor guardian with the incendiary blade perk. However it was a rare occurrence, but it did happen from time to time. Shooting first, then using the knife works the same as it did pre-nerf.
-
Cause beloved hunters always get the D

2 RepliesIt was the same idiot that nerfed sunsinger
-
I ask myself that question every day. I understood the trip mine nerf, but knives take at least some skill to use effectively. There was no reason to nerf them, I never saw anyone complaining about knives.
-
2 RepliesIt makes no sense as to why your butter knife hurts more than bullets, or a super charged punch, or space magic.
-
26 RepliesBecause they did way too much damage for the amount of range and aim assist that they have.
-
Why does Bungie nerf everything? Because of all the complainers out there throwing fits. A better strategy would be to buff as opposed to nerf.

2 RepliesThey said because kd of hunters was too high in 6v6's...so they nerfed tripmine and throwing knife. None of them needed nerf, and really you can't look at just kd and say they are too powerful. Gunslingers have no extended melee, no overshield, no shadestep evade or blink, low armor, nerfed tripmine, nerfed throwing knife, no sticky...the only thing that is good is golden gun and they have no damage reduction/resistance during it. Gunslingers are prob toughest class to use, especially in 3's.

2 RepliesSo, what you're saying is...[spoiler]nerf throwing knives?[/spoiler]
-
Because reasons. None the are good, however.
-
It was because of like anything else here, whiners.
-
2 RepliesCorrect me if I'm wrong but I believe it could one shot low armor guardians with the burning perk. But usually people run max armour nowadays so I don't know why they didn't nerf the burn instead of the knife damage.
-
Same reason why they nerfed just about everything in the game , just because, I really hope it stops though .
-
Agreed, un nerf needed

I was once a god. I sat upon a throne of stick around medals with a Monte Carlo as my scepter. So came the nerf hammer and cast the Monte Carlo down into nothing more than an unstable short range joke. And again they took my dearest, my throwing knives postmortem abilities. As I lie here. Knowing it will never be the same... I can only think [i]what if we had more time.[/i]

When they introduced Khepri's Sting they nerfed the knives. They did it because using throwing knives with those gauntlets allowed you to one shot guardians in the crucible if you procked the bonus damage with poison and burn. So basically, instead of making it so they didn't proc with throwing knives they just blanket nerfed the damage making throwing knives ineffective against even tier one mobs without a headshot
-
They was not working as intended😉
-
Cause Bungie hates hunters.
-
Amen. Change it back please.

I've been wondering why Bungie nerfed the Throwing Knives since the nerf happened. I don't ever recall anyone complaining about it until after the nerf so...
