Breh explain two abilities that give gunslinger an edge over any other subclass up close.the class is made for getting upclose, moving around quickly, and it does that very well....
throwing knife, just like all the other melees (abilities period) in the game, arent as strong as they were in d1 cause they are secondary to gun play...which is how the vocal pvp crowd of destiny wanted it....
each class has pros/cons, it's all about how it fits your play style...just cause it doesnt fit yours doesnt mean it's garbage...
