[quote] -Throwing knives are a skilled, powerful Hunter tool[/quote] [b]Were[/b] a powerful Hunter tool. [quote] At times we feel that ranged melees should not be that powerful. they are entering a domain that belongs to Warlocks primarily. [/quote] Why should it be the Warlock's domain if you already get overshields and energy drain abilities? If a Gunslinger gets no such advantages, why not a little extra damage to compensate? It's already much more difficult to land than a Warlock's melee AND you lose your charge when you miss. That word "belongs" is loaded - shows a bit of self-entitlement, don't you think? [quote] they have really powerful knives that have infinite range[/quote] Infinite range? That's only relevant if you can actually hit them with it. Using throwing knives effectively rather than wastefully means using them at a range comparable to a Warlock's melee range, which is a point that I have made before - not just now to counter a Warlock's view. Yeah, we've all heard that they have large hitboxes. If it were reduced any further I think they would need to severe buff to its velocity to give Gunslingers any chance of hitting a moving target at fusion rifle range and beyond. [quote] Throwing Knives impact reduction was kind of needed so the infinite loop doesn't happen 24/7[/quote] What is this infinite loop that you speak of? Show me somebody taking advantage of this. Exodass32's montage that received a bit of attention a while back is the closest that I have ever seen to what you describe, and he showed exceptional skill in putting together a streak of several throwing knife kills in succession. I can put together a few kills in a row if I'm on point. Hardly infinite, and almost a non-factor with the speed in which people can charge their abilities these days.
