Incendiary blade is trash anyway.

  • It is, but it was the reason they used to gimp throwing knife so badly so it would be nice it it actually even sorta kinda warranted the attention. Their trash programmers on the other hand couldn't program their way out of do loop.

  • Maybe but that's not the point... It used to be really good with the cooldown resest, but they nerfed it to the ground for whatever reason. So the next choice is Incendiary Blade to secure a kill (more or less). But even if it's trashed, it needs to work every time. I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one who is having this issue. It's just a bug that needs to be fixed. Because when you body shot someone with a hand cannon (for exemple) it's 55 damage (more or less), then throwing knife to the body, 110 damage more or less. That's 165 damage. if you had the burn it's 7 damage four times (i believe), so 28 or 35 (if 5 times). So it's either 193 damage or 200 damage which is enough to get a kill. So when your burn damage doesn't activate, well...you just cry...

  • [quote]Maybe but that's not the point...[/quote] True, a bug needs to be fixed. I personally never use incendiary blade since it has been inconsistent as hell since taken king, and knife juggler is just much more reliable and consistent imo.

HC headshot + knife body is also a kill on medium and below armour guardians. Both HC and knife crit is a guaranteed kill, you just need to be a little more accurate.

  • Well you're right, my aim has been a little low lately.....i only used NightStalker for a long time, so going back to throwing knife is different haha ^^ So funny though :p But yes i agree, if you manage to knife crit, you don't need the burn to get a kill. But if you miss the knife crit, that 's where the burn becomes useful. And I like to switch between the two depending on the situation.
