So now I'm confused, do you mean the gun model of a sniper, and the stats of an auto rifle. Or vice versa. Because you could use the vision with the acog replica sight on it (I forget the name of the sight in game)
I don't like it for the same reason the full auto sniper rifle did not speak to me - sounds like it would be very overpowered. Throwing knife is the standard mêlée charge of the Hunter. To have that be a self-resurection would be incredibly powerful. The only self-res now is only available to a Warlock who does not use a super before death.
In a game where the classes are supposed to be balanced-but-different, this sounds like it would be unbalanced. My warlock is a baby, so I don't know enough about self-res to know for sure, but it seems to me that Warlocks use magic, Hunters stick-and-move, and Titans are tanks. Giving some of the best magic to Hunters would make them head and shoulders above the others regardless of play style.
I mean it would only b used to revive in pve. Definitely not in pop. Instead it could regen a bit of health for the hunter wen used. Could suggest a medic sub class for hunters
Just read your other thread on it. For reviving others, I think it sounds cool. Trading your throwing knife for instant revive of a teammate seems more balanced.
My pleasure. You don't need to change your opinion based on mine, but I am glad you can accept that mine differs from yours. (Having just read the thread where BungeBanHammer loses his sh!+ because somebody disagrees with his idea that you should be able to equip two exotic weapons)
