so any skilled knifer knows that there used to be a glitch where you could sprint and hold a charge at the same time with nova knives. while you can still do this, it is 100% unusable because the hit NEVER registers, even if they are standing completely still (i've tested this at least 30 times.) now with aim assist, us knifers need this more than ever, especially when you can't outrun 370+ damage per second (that's just a militia AR). i'd be willing to bet that 90% of the community wouldn't mind this especially with terrible hit detection of nova knives already. when they took that out, i skilled into SGs, which are quite nice now by the way , because the hit detection got worse with knives, aim assist guaranteed that if you miss your first strike, even if you still kill the guy you will be quickly downed by his buddy next to him, and i just got sick of losing millions of isk to hit detection bugs.

come on, would you guys REALLY have a problem with ccp reimplementing this?

i've tested it, but i've only been able to use it for last hitting someone, as it seems to hard and innacurarte. maybe it's because i use DS3, or i just haven't practiced it enough yet.

KBM + Melee glitch > Nova Knifes

Get your melee game up people XD

This is how the ''pros'' (LOL at ANYONE being as lame as to use this in a tournament) do it :3

Don't try and hijack another thread king, we don't care!
I think it nake sense for novas to hold a charge, but prehaps there should be a SLIGHT drawback, idea OP?

The drawback would be that you wouldn't be able to do full damage without having to charge it again (just like it is now).

And I used the sprint charge glitch pre 1.4 and it made the knives usable. Trying to catch up to anyone without sprinting is neigh on impossible unless it's a camper or a heavy.

True im not saying im against it, but sprint charging allows a scout to take the advantages of his suit and his weapon, like OP said how about a delay?

You can't charge for 3secs after releasing a charged swipe?
You can still swipe but for less damage!

Aren't knifes a sidearm?

I think it's coming in 1.6 they never said what but I think we might get a skill tree for that an fitting optimization so sp just in case.
Till then run sg or gett your smg really high in proficiency, use them like knives get really close from behind an pop em, my sg an smg has raised my kills like mad in the past week

If you get to hold a charge of the knife when sprinting then I should be able to hold a charge of a Scrambler Rifle when sprinting.
And yes, I am a scout.

Idea: Make charge holding a feature of scouts.

that's exactly what i've heard to do so i went proto in shotgun, advanced in scanners so i can get the 16 second one, and now i'm working on switching to gallente scout because the minmatar is SO gimped. i do better in my basic gallente BPO than my proto Minmatar fit. i also run(on my gallente) a 'syndicate' SMG and a either a Shotgun, CRG-3 shotgun, or KR-17 Breach SG(with one complex DMG mod). on my alt, i skilled into the Fotm AR, SMG, Core Locus Grenade, caldari assault just to see how strong it was, and the ishukone assault SMG tears people up, so i'll skill into that on my main and put it on the gallente scout when i get the skills.

i dont see how people use that Fotm crap. it's EZ mode, yes, but it gets boring FAST, which is why i haven't played on that character for nearly a month.

anyway, my biggest problem is that i was stupid in the beginning and didn't skill my core pg/cpu up, which is literally my biggest downfall. i only have them to 3, but i'm sure that won't be to much of a problem when i get the gallente scout proto. and yes i mean SCOUT, not basic frame, because i can skill it to 3 and use the proto with AUR until i get the skills to use the isk version. it'll be my first racial bonus suit

In my respec for uprising I put the proficiency of my knives and sg at 2 after I got the optional respec cuz I originally went gallente , then mini. I ran the mini for a month doing awesome with the knives an minmatar, then when 1.2 came everything I used was crap, so I slowly went gallente scout and smg, an building my armor, now I'm rocking dual proto smg on my mini an a gallente shotguner with pro 4 on the sg.
I will say my best fit is my gallente adv race:
Adv gallente
Complex an basic shield
K5 special pro 4
Toxin with pro 4
Quantum scan
And the real money about the fit....... Is
Enh armor rep
Enh shield reg

Now If I get hit hard I'm full health almost instant!
Speed is dead to me now it's all about having shields come back fast an always havin armor even on the mini
Shields drop so fast now an everytime you lose a little armor an have to find a way to bring it up, which takes you from killing, so use the reg as a instant shield buff in a fight when u duck behind a wall an as soon as their up your armor is already past half.
I ve actually been taking shots with no shields an watched my armor still come up , this doesn't happen with shields so try that fit you'll love it

i just went 23-2 wih zn 28 on a stadard scout
:p

good for you!...*sob *sob...you jerk...

sadly, i noticed that speed tanking is useless now as well, and right when i was so excited about finally getting my proto light frame...

but anyway, that's an excellent fit, wouldn't mind if i copied it would you?
the only problem is, all my skills are based around minmatar scout, so i still have to get:

Armor reps
shield regs
Armor plates
gallente scout operation(oh god)
SMGs
pg/cpu(kill me...)
so that's what? about 5 million sp to get all that to proto?

maybe run with nova knifes for ishukone knives only
