it's pretty solid. 108 damage per trigger pull if they're all head shots. 2 bursts per kill. same with fair and square. and getting a full heal after a kill makes you a juggernaught with quick reloads. i've been trying to get the red death perk the past couple of days through dailies just to see it's true potential.
I still like my vex better than voc.
I have a rare Galahad-E with the slower rate of fire and bonus damage perk and am wondering if Suros is even worth buying, haha. The videos show performance about on par with the G-E in PVP.
Especially considering I'm a 95% hand cannon user.
The most important thing in PVP is map knowledge and anticipation of enemy positions via radar/instinct that builds up in muscle memory over time. Nothing substitutes for the latter, not even a pre-nerf mythoclast. (I saw a dude go last several games in Iron Banner despite having the mytho.)

Yeah I'm not sure how people can say that.
I get way too many kills with my throwing knives.
I almost learned the hard way myself, till I noticed the size limit on the top right.
Good thing you can buy L/B. I'd be really upset about corrective measure, that gets a lot of use during the raid.
Definitely buying red death whenever Xur has it again. Just for that inevitable pulse rifle buff.
shhh str doesn't affect throwing knife cooldown. useless i say useless.
yeah, i'm using the fact that I have another as consolation... and I just rolled a final boss to give to my warlock instead. sooo it goes.
My shenanigans primary is rapidly becoming my main for PVP. Thorn is just too much damn fun to ignore.
I've been rolling Thorn and Zombie Apocalypse until the heavy ammo inbound announcement. When that happens, as soon as my radar shows no red and I'm in a safe zone I quickly swap out to Lord High Fixer and Thunderlord. LHF is very good in PVP and is a good backup for if I don't manage to get to the heavy ammo in time for whatever reason but if I do... Oh boy.
An aside, I got my first sparrow kill ever in crucible tonight. I had no idea you could even run dudes over with them in PVP.

Throwing knives are the singlemost under-rated ability in game.
I mean, er, OVER-rated. OVER.
can't believe psn performance is still as shoddy as it is for me
well... plan c and thunderlord on deck, let's do this.
looking for two for the nightfall on PS4 now... post your id if you want in
How is Plan C in your opinion? You were spot on when you set me straight on Pocket Infinity before and I just got it from this week's Nightfall.
started out soloing the nightfall... plan c oneshots ascendant knights and twoshots hallowed knights... maybe this won't be quite as much of a pain as I thought
any two want in on PS4? could use the stress relief of being able to die now and again XD
but Gambler's Dagger+Knife Juggler is just gaming bliss, I can't wait.

i've barely scratched the surface with them in pvp (waiting to perfect my ridiculous pocket infinity build... must get that damn gauntlet exotic)
but Gambler's Dagger+Knife Juggler is just gaming bliss, I can't wait.
certainly the best arc fusion rifle in the game, and there's all kinds of fun to be had with its special upgrade- plus it has a reduce charge time regular upgrade. fantastic gun, I only ever prefer pocket infinity because, lol welp, and 77 wizard because it's void legendary

Titan and a Hunter crash on Mars. Titan's Helmet stops a Cabal slug. Hunter's helmet stops her from starving. Who lives?

I tend to use the burning upgrade rather than Juggler (the DOT often results in kills in PVP), but with a decent enough strength and two to burn, you almost always have one to toss.
I could see the Gambler's Dagger being a good upgrade in PVE, though.
I always, always play a throwing knife/tomahawk class in PVP games, so I've been rocking the Gunslinger from the start. I switched long enough to level up Bladedancer, but found it wanting. One tiny hit from splash grenade damage, or one shot with a hand cannon, and the throwing knife is a kill, straight up. So I tend to soften targets a tiny amount and toss. It's glorious. Especially when you're in the air and they're in the air and you lead the target just right and... Yeah. Yeah. So good.
I'm using the Symbiote helm currently but want the Spine gauntlets SO GODDAMN BAD.

Nope, platforming...................again.
yeah that makes sense for PvP for sure, like I said I haven't touched it much... in PvE though when you start chaining the precision kills... please try it, just please.
definitely a fun skill in general though, it has this great weight to it especially against other guardians, the fallen and hive.
seems like it's one of the toughest items to come by
i'm counting on an exotic gauntlet engram of all things.noooobody for the nightfall on ps4 right now? i'm at 2/3 runes. don't make me lfg
I'm Hawkian on PSN. msg me or post yours and I'll gladly get you in.
Sign me up. Psn fadeddream you guys run it before?

i had a dream there was a lower portion of the jumping puzzle that was close enough to the ledge that you could do a split and cross it.
thx! PSN?

Gorgon.
Yeah, we've all run it before. Know the Templar cheese, too.
Finally hit 20 and I have a question - As someone who doesn't really have the ability to do the raid (mixture of factors that would take a while to explain) - Is there any way for me to Hit 30 as someone who primarily PvPs and does the occaisonal pve content here and there (like the weekly strike)
Nope
Yes, 29 is the minimum you should be with a maxed primary and maxed heavy.

I have the Atheon hard checkpoint on my 29 main, was wondering if it was possible to give it to my 26 alt.

the raid's currently the only way to reach 30; however, if you don't raid, then there isn't much reason to be 30 anyway. the raid is the only part of the game with level 30 enemies.
