For people who think Hunters are useless for PvE...

For all the foolish people who think Hunters are selfish and useless for PvE because they don't have any "support supers"... Let me shed some light on the subject for you... Yes, it's true that Hunters have no super that can actually boost or protect their allies, but the powers they are granted with are actually more important than most of you think. Lets look at the Golden Gun for example. In a situation such as the Devils Lair there were many Fallen Captains and Hive Wizards. While the Warlock and Titan should have been saving their supers for groups of enemy's, the Hunters were perfect for taking those big enemy's down in a matter of seconds. If the Warlock or Titans tried their super on Captains or Wizards it was practically a waste, only taking down their shields, if that. Already making Hunters top damage dealers. On a side note, the exotic armor Achlyophage Symbiote for the Hunter grants him a fourth Golden Gun shot, as if three was not enough already. Not convinced? Well, lets take a look at the second subclass, Blade Dancer. From what we have see (Not all Confirmed), Blade Dancer will be for clearing waves of enemy's AND taking out the big ones. In the first play through of Devils Lair (Old Footage I Know) the Hunter took out a Hive Wizard in only TWO uses, leaving plenty of Arc Blade to wipe any extra garbage around him. Also in other footage we have seen, on the moon when the hive charged a Hunter full of Arc energy, he wiped out waves of thralls, and yet it still had plenty of power left to keep wiping out the hive. While yes the Warlock and the Titan do have AoE ability's, they are no where near the power of the Hunters. Don't get me wrong, they are both powerful and each have their specialty's, but the Hunter reins supreme in AoE damage. To recap, the Hunters will be used for wiping out waves of enemy's and taking down the big ones. So yeah, they are not "Support Supers" but they are called Hunters for a reason, they take down their enemy's much more quickly and fluently than the other two classes. Which will be KEY for raids and strikes. Keep in mind everything I have said is based off of what we have seen from videos and what I experienced in the beta, none of it is in "stone". Also note I am not biased against any class because I know each plays a very important roll. Just made this so some people realize the Hunter truly plays an important roll in Destiny.
