Edit - instead of removing knife for a better ability, it would make more sense to remove the "Circle of Life" perk and it replace it with another ability. That said, I am removing the side roll.
The throwing knife, which is the most skilled ability in the game is for some reason the worst. This thing needs to be OHK for critical hits if things like blink strike and shoulder charge can kill you instantly. Either that or the Circle of Life perk be replaced by one of the following:
6th sense - for a brief period after hitting an enemy with your knife you can see enemies through walls and barriers, with the exception of cloaked enemies.
Instant mag fill - This ability instantly refills your currently weapons magazine, excludes heavies.
Side roll/dive - Removed
Ice in the veins - after striking an enemy with throwing knife, for the duration of the rest of your weapon's clip, you have enhanced stability and range
To me these would be better for a gunslinger than a petty throwing knife that tickles enemies. What are your thoughts?
-
Incendiary blade + headshot should be OHK is PvP. Aside from that I think it's okay. Knife Juggler really makes it a viable skill in PvE.
-
Buff incendiary to explode on kills. Then make v2 subclasses: 3 New jump melee super and grenade options and 2 columns of 3 New passive perks. Make one of the passives domino effect. [b] domino effect:[/b] Any kill caused by an explosion causes all enemies killed to explode [i] maybe add a3 chain cap to it so not op[/i] [b] This would be used with the new and improved incendiary and combustion as well as grenades.[/b]
-
I vote for this. A crit kill with throwing knife causes the enemy to explode.
-
Wolfpack rounds.
-
Getting a throwing knife precision kill refills your health.
-
Throwing knife doesn't need changing at all. In pvp, 1 hand cannon shot and a knife kills. Awesome combo to use, doesn't need to be more powerful.
-
I like it how it is. I just wish I could pick it up if I miss.
-
Just a tip for throwing, aim with your weapon then throw knife, works pretty good.
-
Didn't know it need to be fixed. Gunslingers nades an melee compliment your gun play. Like halo. Gunslinger is about your gun. And making it or GG better. Not to make your nades or knife as good as your gun.
-
It needs WOLFPACK rounds
-
The incendiary blade perk should automatically kill and enemy. It literally leaves about 5% health on an enemy. The duration should be just about 3-4 seconds longer
-
It's good in PVP almost 1 shots (: I wreck Titans before they get close enough for shoulder charge
-
Lol the last perk for the throwing knife is very good and satisfying
-
Leave Throwing Knife alone. It's perfect as it is.
-
One shot kill to the head. Bam.
-
Headshot should be kill shot. If it's body then the shield should go down.
-
Throwing knives is my favorite way to kill shit. Just buff precision shots. All non ultra head shots should be a insta kill
-
Snitching too strong makes it overpowered because the hunter can potentially throw an unlimited amount of knives. My suggestion is that if you sacrifice a throwing knife on a shielded enemy, it drains their shields. That way you have to wait for the cool down to reset.
-
It should be a one shot with incendiary
-
indeed throwing knife has range, however it is the hardest to perform melee attack. with a knife in the head u should at least die!
-
Um, Throwing Knife is perfect the ways it is. But it is about time bungie make throwing knife kills count as melee, that would only be fair.
-
You don't get to have the longest range melee ability and have it be the strongest too. Knife is fine.
-
That's implying it needs to be fixed. I'm pretty sure the longest range melee ability doesn't also need to be one hit kill.
-
The throwing knife doesn't need to be fixed. I own all day with it in pvp. If you can't get kills with it, you're just not good
-
If you can't use the throwing knife, the problem is you NOT the knife. I'll admit it took a minute to fully understand, but one you get it, you realize it's out of control awesome.
