With a game like Destiny where their are so many great and fantastic ways to kill things, I feel hesitant to call anything overpowered and have been rather disdainful of those who throw OP around like it is a magic word. That being said, during the Beta I noticed in PVP that shotguns (and possibly fusion rifles?) could one hit kill someone while my throwing knife could not, even with a precision throw to the face. It is a little irritating to find that a class ability is inferior to a common shotgun even when thrown at an opponents head. I feel that if the Throwing Knife damage was increased to be comparable when making a presicion strike, that this would make make the ability a little more balanced in comparison to other subclass abilities and weapons.
While I have no qualms with whatever you decide to do, This was the only suggestion about the game, power wise, that I had. Considering that you guys already stated that the interceptor is already being worked on, I feel that everything else is pretty balanced and can't wait to see the final product. Thanks Bungie!
EDIT:
HYPERSILVER7 has mentioned a valid point that counters my suggestion and I no longer feel that the Throwing Knife Class Ability is underpowered. Please see his comments for further details. I formally retract my suggestion.

I have some awesome footage of an (intended) knife headshot when I was double jumping and the guy was hiding behind cover. So satisfying. One-shot body kills? Definitely not.
