Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3519	Posted - 2014.01.11 18:04:00 - [1] - Quote Until today, I've barely touched nova knives since 1.1; if you're like me, here's some things you should know before operation shinobi. I've just confirmed with the help of an oblivious enemy redline sniper that knives are their own damage type; 100% damage against shields and armor. SOMETHING isn't right, but I can't tell what as of now. An amarr basic med frame (no idea on the tier, but it wasn't advanced) survived 4 uncharged slashes from my ishukones (I can hear the hits connecting); I'm not sure if uncharged damage is now terrible, or if hit detection is bad. If you use an active scanner, USE FLUX; I was killed while using a quantum active scanner because I couldn't switch weapons or sprint while it was scanning. I'm not sure if it's a glitch, but the timer continued to count down after running out of the redline after killing a sniper. It never reached 0 yet, so I'm not sure if it'll kill you outside the redline or not. I've still never been successfully scanned whilst using an enhanced profile dampener on my scout suit. My profile dampening skill is at 3, and my highest scout skill (minmatar) is at 4. Feel free to add things. We used to have a time machine
Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 11924	Posted - 2014.01.11 18:20:00 - [2] - Quote max passive sensor range I heard is far more useful for a knifer but I wouldn't know about it too much. CPM 0 Secretary Omni-Soldier, Forum Warrior, Annoying Artist \\= Advanced Caldari Assault // Unlocked

RKKR The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 653	Posted - 2014.01.11 18:23:00 - [4] - Quote The redline timer is just a bug/glitch.
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3521	Posted - 2014.01.11 18:53:00 - [5] - Quote Iron Wolf Saber wrote: max passive sensor range I heard is far more useful for a knifer but I wouldn't know about it too much. Shotgun yes, knives no. There's a difference between shotguns and knives that's very important. First of all, there's the obvious aspect of range; you don't have to hug someone to kill them with a shotgun, so you can kill someone with less time. Second, knives have 2 slashes per "trigger pull"- if the first slash misses, the second can still connect, so dancing in melee range is more effective with knives than with a shotgun, if someone notices you. Because of that, I prefer to add some tank in the low slots to give me time to get into dancing range- time I wouldn't need if I were using a shotgun. We used to have a time machine

You can also take advantage of the melee "aim assist" in cqc. If you have trouble tracking a target, a quick melee can put you back on target. At least it used to. I need to test this real quick. Get over it. If you don't play to win in FW, then you're playing for Caldari. -Patrick57 Minmatar. In Rust we trust.
Radar R4D-47 0uter.Heaven 315	Posted - 2014.01.11 19:18:00 - [7] - Quote Correct in the fact knives have 100% efficiency on shields and armour. The suit survived because you didn't charge them. 4 swipes=800 damage without bonuses. If you aren't moving at least 9.0 sprint expect to do poorly using knives. Tank is important but knowing were your enemy is without them knowing is even more important.

Tank is important but knowing were your enemy is without them knowing is even more important. I now believe it was lag, as I just went 7-2, with at least 3 of the kills being uncharged swipes. I don't need 9.0 sprint speed, and a flux active scanner, along with my base passive scanning, is enough to know where they are. We used to have a time machine
trraacx Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 61	Posted - 2014.01.11 20:23:00 - [9] - Quote I had the same guy kill me three times today, never saw them coming. Nice work. Not that I'm hard to kill but it was the first knife death I've had in a while.

They were a dumbass, as I scanned them every time right before I killed them. In their own redzone, too. We used to have a time machine

Cyrius Li-Moody The New Age Outlaws WINMATAR. 2750	Posted - 2014.01.11 20:37:00 - [11] - Quote hit detection can be a little funky sometimes with knives. It's much better than what it was but it'll happen every now and again. Youtuber. Your friendly neighborhood whiskey-fueled merc.

Unless you are running basic frame I recommend you use a basic damp to save CPU. Will get you under the proto scanners just fine. I feel the damage mod on knives is pointless but that is just personal preference.

On the other hand, if you're going to save your knives for taking out naughty hackers, you'll do okay if you have stealth and a good hiding place

It never reached 0 yet, so I'm not sure if it'll kill you outside the redline or not. There is a bug. You'll also die with 5 seconds or so left on the clock. I've been robbed of some epic red line kills Also, You will find you leave the red zone just in time only for the clock still ticking on your screen. A melee punch will fix it before you die. Why the fuuk is melee the big fix for half of these ****** bugs. You gotta hustle if you wanna make a dolla
