Here is a clip from my clan mate of me getting obliterated by the Hunter throwing knife even though he misses it, with the most unnatural ricochet! Bungie you need to turn down this knife's damage, the exotic that makes this heavy knife ricochet like that, but most importantly it's severe magnetism. Between this heavy knife, the wombo-combo light weight knife + pistol shot kill and the Hunter electric charge across the ground you have literally made PvP, comp and especially Trials unbearable to play any other class but the Hunter! Please fix this!!!!

That was exactly what Arthyrs Embrace is supposed to do, you get consistent head shots to power up the knife allowing for the long range cleanup. It's not popular, and it's certainly not meta, because despite being strong it is highly situational. It's not prevalent in PvP because the knife has a long wind up and is not effective at close range in fast matches. But it does work well against players peak shotting scouts/pulses from the far side of a map...
