Hmmm...
Guys?
I got addicted to ishukone knives and scrambler pistol combo.
I'm using a Gallente scout.

Any tips?

Any tips for actually knifing people?

The actual act of putting the knife into the enemy throat?

* Don't try to stab uparmored Gal-Sentinels (they get a free pass).

* 2 Damps, 2 KinCats (never, ever run plates).
* Sidearm Damage Amp until Prof IV.
* Practice jump-charge. Lots of practice.
* Always run Proto Knives (no exceptions).
* Forget about your KDR; its all about the hunt.
* Don't try to stab uparmored Gal-Sentinels (they get a f*cking free pass).
* One target at a time; no frontal attacks.

- Gallente Scout, NK Proficiency V

Even with prof+minja some gal sents still survive a full charged double hitter...needless to say I'm dead shortly afterwards

Free passes are f*cking horse-sh*t.

It's balanced!
Especially that 800 DPS HMG

Wouldn't a cardiac regulator be extremely useful?
It certainly allows me to run away for longer lol

We did the math a LONG time ago.

Stamina < Speed at all distances less than 400m

I think the crossover point was somewhere around that distance. At that distance, it was better to run 1 speed 1 stamina rather than 2 speed.

Boundless: 910 DPS
SixKin (Burst): 1400 DPS

* Kills stealth/mobility fits in 1/3 sec
* Demands harder nerfs to REs
* Opposes NK improvements
* Complains about shotguns

Drives around in BPO LAV hunting scouts in the open....

The new HAV?

Assaults need a bonus to ganking quickly and regenerating their lower HP pool, commandos to suppressive/long term fire, and rely upon their inherently greater HP pool

Commando-

Role Bonus-5% reload speed per level

A-5% faster cool down on laser weaponry per level, 1% to laser weaponry damage
M-+1 to explosive weaponry clip size per level, 1% to explosive/projectile weaponry damage
C-5% to range and scope zoom with rail weaponry per level, 1% to rail weaponry damage
G-2% to plasma weapon damage/level

Assault-

Role Bonus-+1 armor repair rate per second, +10% shield recharge rate

A-5% reduction to heat build-up laser weaponry
M-5% clip size of projectile weaponry
C-20% reduction to spool time of rail weaponry
G-2% RoF of plasma weaponry

A cardiac regulator is only good if you use the proto level. It does come in handy if you are an aggressive knifer to double your pool to .. what is it 420 stamina at that point (:.. not to mention 120 per sec recovery. The ability to jump with abandon in cities is huge.


However, kin cats make you move far faster, and you can really fuk people's aim up and kill them with only a gstring of armor left on your ass. it's fukn awesome. But I like extreme CQC with knives. I love kills of opportunity, but I like killing a heavy by plunging a knife in his face a whole lot more.

And when I do it to the same guy for the 3rd time in a match.. I just feed on his soooooouull

Disagree, cardio is only good at the enhanced level. The proto 100%/100% bonus just gives you more of the same. The 80%/50% bonus means more stam, but also a comparitavely better recharge time. Better for overall mobility (jumping, melee and non-max sprints).

^ All that with a free pass from flank attacks.

That's... rather high.
Should kin cats give a stamina penalty?

I was thinking earlier about assaults/commandos and came up with this (not trying to derail the topic at hand, just some input)

I suppose. I never really thought to look at enhanced.. 120 vs 90 recovery.. I haven't knifed like this in about 3 months so it's hard to recall. I have depleted C green jars easily with my play style.. and I think it is because jumps take a percentage of your stamina pool? It's just the recovery I found useful. I was depleting the 420 pool regularly while playing. But that was at a lower skill level.

I just ended up being swayed by Ghost and crew about going back to pure red jar. Cardiacs are better for middle of the road SP players with lower skills. Cardiac regs use less CPU/PG than kin cats and you can definitely craft a knifer play style around it faster than a speed tanker. But over time and as a consequence of being maxed out in SP basically red jar is just plain better. If I need to go far I call in a 12Kisk BPO LAV that tears **** up (with no skills)- and I get it basically instantly so green jar is just obsolete. shrug.

lololololol.
