So I thoroughly enjoy throwing knives, and I can easily land 8-15 precision knives in a row with them. What shocks me is that there's no exotic gauntlet that makes knife throwing more enjoyable. Even if the perks were;
1) gain an additional throwing knife. This would not stack to 3, but simply let you use one of the other perks in the skill tree. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have 3 but I don't see bungie allowing it.
2) knife throwing speed doubled. The time between throwing a knife, and then throwing another is too slow. Lines of thralls move too fast and I can only kill 3-4 before they reach me while I'm back peddling.
3) precision knife kills cause targets to explode.
4) and if they were generous, doubling the burn time on the incendiary knife perk.
Where are my gunslinger hunter friends? I'm curious to hear what other knife users would want on an exotic that deals with knives :D
Edit: I too share the sadness of no warlock boots, my warlock is my primary :(
Edit: love the ideas guys. After I get off work I'll be reading through more replies and adding more to the list, as well as giving proper credit.

Love #3, and knife pickup. How about increased crit damage? As in 1 "headshot" crucible kills?
-
Bump! Great ideas
-
All of those sound fun...really none of the Hunter exotics add perks to free up a space in the perk tree...unlike Titans. Also about Warlock exotic boots...well, you can't really see the boots with most robes, albeit, it is quite annoying that they must get raid boots to be 32.
-
All great ideas!
-
bump!!!

Bump awesome idea
-
Such a perfect idea. I've always thought about knife perks cause I love my throwing knives so much. Double Speed sounds the best.
-
Because I would want an exotic palm.... and have a slap animation.
-
Throwing knife roots enemies to the ground for short time and renders them unable to attack (kind of like when you throw a nade perfectly under an enemies' feet). Oh, I'm being charged by a sword knight/praetorian? Shwink! Not anymore.

1 RespuestaSo many useless Hunter perks and no throwing knife exotic. I think you're on to something.. too bad i think the HoW exotics are already finished
-
I got a couple more. Who needs guns: Replace ammo reserves with knives. Guns can only hold ammo that fits in a single clip but have unlimited knives. Precision expert: Knives do double precision damage, but non precision damage reduced to 0.

We should cause titans have mk 44 stand aside and warlock have hotpf

"Hitting an enemy with throwing knifes grants brief invisability"?

I like all the ideas except knife pickup and regeneration. Only because that would be so op

It would have to be a pretty good skill to be on par with Acliophage Symbiote. Explosions on prec kills would be nice for PVE An increased burn would be great for PVP It would be cool if a pair of gloves let you throw fast shurikens that stunned or blinded an enemy for a moment
-
Good idea
-
I really like this idea! Also, rather than Regeneration Knives I think it would be cool if they were called "Vampire Knives"
-
1 RespuestaNinja gloves! Instead of one knife you rapidly throw 3 shurikens (i couldnt remember how to spell it) that do a little less damage, but can be very effective if all three hit the target.

2 RespuestasEditado por TheGodAmongMen: 1/29/2015 8:23:45 PMThey could make exotic gloves: Fan of Knives. Hold an extra throwing knives** and spawn with Melee energy Secondary weapons reload faster Killing an enemy with precision damage reduce your melee cooldown.
-
Able to through knives through enemies with headshot. Imagine getting 4 thrall in the head with one knife throw.
-
1 RespuestaWhy don't titans get 2 fists of havoc (or panic depending on your view lol) I mean we have 2 fists! p.s. just having fun
-
Precision kills with throwing knife trigger a firebolt (like the grenade)
-
Warlocks have an extra helmet or chest exotic as compared to the other two that's why they don't have boots

[b][i][u]BAD TEMPER[/b][/u][/i][/b]-causing prcision damage with the throwing knife immediately rest it's cool down and consecutive kills grant bonus damage (stacks up to three times)
