A Striker's view on Throwing Knives.
I know what you're thinking that my opinion is. "Throwing Knives 2 OP needed n3rfing".
No. No, no, no , no , no and no.
Seriously, why Bungie? What was the need. I can even list some reasons why you've just made a massive c0ck-up.
1. Throwing Knives rewarded a skillful aim.
2. They have a rather long cool down.
3. They rarely OHKD as the most ran the precision perk.
4. They were the Gunslingers only counter to other classes longer range melees.
5. It felt rewarding to land a clutch throwing knife.
If these aren't the best reasons I apologise. I'm sure you can list some better ones below.
I just can't understand the logical side of the persons brain who decided that throwing knives were unbalanced? If you had to you could have just removed the incendiary knife...
Seriously, now I'm worried for shoulder charge, despite the range of the Stormcaller melee.
For proof that the Stormcaller melee is bad just watch Nkuch's latest video where he melees someone on Black Shield from past the OHK range of a Party Crasher.
Just know this hunters, we feel you.
Edit: [u][i][b]For those complaining that I am biased against warlocks I am not. I just have my views on their melees. Purely my opinion. I don't really want to see nerf posts on here either.[/b][/i][/u]

9 RepliesEdited by Drazatis: 6/21/2016 6:35:27 AMThrowing knives were always a, "Well f*ck me I guess" calling card to me. Never really looked at them as OP, just a proverbial tip O' the hat. Dunno what the whole 'Domain of the Warlock' shenanigans is all about though, everyone has a ranged Marlee counterpart. We (being Warlocks) just have the longest [u]melee[/u] strike. I almost view throwing knives as a second grenade. My only concern is that if the Amplitude perk is nerfed, what would be done to counteract it? Reduce it's range? I dunno the statistics behind it's increase as of yet (will do some research), but if it's nerfed then you might as well remove the perk. Now, I don't want to defend Amplitude, since there are many times where I look at a disintegrated body and think, "...now THAT was BS." My only concern is that if we keep nerfing melees; which we are now in a trend of doing, how long until over shields are messed with? Shoulder charge and Thunder Grip? Invisibility bullsh*ts? People complain about the nuances of classes so much that we are slowly sapping away uniqueness of classes. But that's just my 2 cents.
