It is a charge up so it makes it considerably harder to actually land the hand shot imo. I have played a considerable amount of crucible since Dawn came out, and have only been hit by it once. Also people have to run 3 shot goldie for it. Which is an AWFUL super for crucible. And hunters are the best? The only really viable exotic for them is Stompies. But okay.

Out of all the OHK abilities the one that requires you to get a Precision hit on a moving Target is the one that requires no skill?

Answer, how is the hand held super bailout fair, you have no credibility

I’ve been playing Titan this season instead of hunter because the throwing hammer with a mod supposed to give you one hit kills but only will on some players. That being said the throwing knife is definitely a one hit kill but hunters were very underwhelming and underpowered compared to the Titan melees and warlocks handheld supernova nova. And your a warlock main? Dude you mad because hunters can do the same as warlocks now? Come on my man!

I argue it’s easier and tougher than shoulder charge at the same time. You have to actually be skilled to aim/hit with it but you also don’t have to worry about getting gunned down or shotgunned before you can get close.

Throwing knife should be a ohk

Insurmountable skull fort + top tree striker =50 kill game for free controverse holds + mid tree void walker + high discipline=free kills but because it's a Hunter ability it's OP try to use something before screaming for a nerf

I'll be honest I play a ton of pvp and this hasnt been a problem at all in matches. I think I had one match were I squared up against a guardian with a some strong knife skills. With the titan endless shoulder charge and range of the warlock melee I have zero problem with a one hit fire knife.

Not for nothing but I have yet to kill a guardian with a throwing knife to the face. Call me casual but it usually ends in my disintegration by fusion rifle so I steer clear of trying.

You mean like this? https://www.reddit.com/r/destiny2/comments/echqj8/that_knife_was_a_little_slow_but_made_its_mark/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf This is all i think of when someone mentions the magnetism of the knife. It’s pretty funny to watch but I wouldn’t want to see it like this. (I hope it isn’t this extreme). I did happen to go into a rumble match once and a hunter just repeatedly spammed the knife on everyone and didn’t use their guns once. And when they did they got obliterated, or when they missed but even then they just proceeded to either melee (I play a warlock so you know what imma say about melee) or run away and let someone else deter the fight. It was frustrating but I got through it. Sometimes the knife felt like it shouldn’t have got the precision. I saw them looking towards my chest or at neck level and they still got a precision. In my opinion the ability is new and Bungie is probably watching it. I believe though that the tracking, range, or area to aim needs to be smaller. Maybe have the knife get a drop off. Whatever Bungie decides to do I just hope it balances and all we can do it hope that happens and provide suggestions and information to help them make a better choice.

I like how throwing knives have been absolutely worthless since the very beginning of D2, then finally they give us a well-deserved buff to a single throwing knife, and because everyone screams about hunters whenever they get something good, it’s now a bad thing. Even though getting a headshot with a throwing knife with a windup animation takes way more skill than something like shoulder charge. Also just because the best pvp players play hunter doesn’t mean that every hunter is automatically the best at crucible, it just means that they have the highest skill ceiling in PvP, which is the harsh truth that no one wants to admit. I should know this, I have a friend that plays hunter, and he’s an amazing crucible player, but then you have me on the other side of the spectrum, not unbroken, not a legend player, nowhere near the best at crucible, yet I play hunter.
