Changes to Gunslinger Subclass

I really wish Bungie would revamp some of the subclass perks for Gunslingers. Circle of Life is currently useless unless you really want that +1 Armor. No one in their right mind would give up firing off a Golden Gun shot to throw a knife that could potentially miss and get you killed mid-super. Keyhole is a perk for such insanely rare occasions. Most people who play PvP don't stand directly behind one another and form a nice line for you to over penetrate and shoot through. There's so much movement and it makes Keyhole pretty worthless, even in PvE. I believe Bungie's philosophy/desire behind both of these perks is to make something EXTRAORDINARY happen under extreme circumstances to make the player feel so skilled and badass. Unfortunately, both those perks simply aren't worth striving for in the Crucible whatsoever. The chances are too low. Why not change these perks into something that will reward the player for continuous precision and steady accuracy that aren't completely impossible to achieve? Something passive that builds up over time the better you do. What I think would be great ideas: 1. Every Throwing Knife precision kill will increase precision damage from your next throwing knife. Stacks up to 5 times. (Imagine being able to hit level 5 and then finally get 1 hit kill throwing knives, it's incredibly hard to do but so rewarding) 2. Throwing Knife hits suppress enemies abilities. 3.Throwing Knife precision kills instantly charge another throwing knife, also recover a portion of health. 4. Throwing Knife hits stick on to a target, target is marked and explodes after a short time! 5. Throwing Knife precision hits deal increased damage over time. Stacks up to 3 times. I personally LOVE using the Throwing Knife and people have been suggesting releasing an exotic piece focused around them. I just hope that it doesn't involve any of these: 1. Ricocheting off hard surfaces. Seriously this is one of the most useless mechanics in the game no matter how hard Bungie tries to push it into play. Besides, Throwing knife should always be all about accuracy and precision. 2. Firefly. I know this is a trending idea when thinking of new Throwing Knife perks, but Firefly damage tends to be minimal and I feel like it's more for aesthetic appeal (MAKE THINGS GO BOOM) than actual use. It would be great if the blast radius was a bit larger than normal Firefly, but that might be too OP. What do you think, fellow Gunslingers?
