Hunter is very hard at first. part of the reason is hunter starting skills suck pretty bad compared to the two other classes. Hunter relies solely on aim at the early going because you're as soft as a warlock but without the nice "oh crap" buttons. By the time you unlock bladedancer, you are about equal with the other classes.

Personally, I'm tired of seeing hunters in PvP. I played squirmish and fought an entire fire team of hunters. Like really? They have a cape and they're instantly a better choice, apparently.

Strafing and double-jumping are your best friends as a hunter. That + auto rifles = higher chance of domination. [spoiler]Yeah, I know using ARs is kind of a scrub move, but hey, it works for me.[/spoiler]

Everyone has been encouraging. I'll stick to my hunter. I'll be out of town next week so I'll just explore and complete levels for xp at the hotel with its crappy internet.

[quote]1. The animation for the golden gun is slow and when the supers for warlock and titan are instant, best not use it in a firefight.[/quote] 1. The titan has to get close enough to use his super. The attack is not instant. He can even be killed flying in. If he misses he is a sitting duck. The warlock actually has to cast his bomb. The range is limited. Then you have to stand in it for it to hurt you. Golden gun is actually the best of the three. Making it out to be some kind of disadvantage is ridiculous. Laughable even. The best advice I can give would be, manage your radar well. When a target moves from your tertiary to secondary radar ring, and you start to get a good sense of how soon you will engage them based on their movement and the map layout, ready the gun ahead of time. Odds are good they will come around a corner and face a losing proposition. The gun is fine to use in a firefight, that's what it's for, you just have to be smart about when to activate it and activate it preemptively. 2. You can hit a foot or a shoulder or be 3 feet to the left and kill three people with one shot if you spec it to blow up. It's "aim" is quite forgiving in my experience. 3. Every other ability is a one shot and you're done. You can actually hit pvp right away, just stick to the matches where level advantages are disabled and play till you get better. As much as I enjoy PVE you level up a lot faster and make more glimmer in PVP. Well that's my opinion anyways. Never played a blade dancer mind you because I haven't' played a hunter since the beta but unless something changed dramatically gunslinger should be just fine. Just practice man.

If you dislike Voidwalker, use Sunsinger (I think it's soooo much better). That requires a bit more skill than jump and throw down a bomb. It's definitely more advanced though. As for your Hunter PvP issue, just keep looking for good guns and bring them to PvP. Upgrade your skills.

You will get better by playing PvP. I just played a few games with my new Titan to level his subclass and I was the top 2/3 players every time - I even got the first blood achievement. I was level 4 with a green gun and all white gear. Practice, practice, practice.

It gets easier in the fact u get better as u play. Also the more rare weps come with perks that give yiu an edge.
