Hunters are Underpowered
I've been watching reviews of the three classes and people are always saying that all the classes balance out, but here's why I know Hunters are underpowered.
Hunters don't have an insta-kill like Titan and Warlock have.
Hunters don't have a melee attack that instantly gives health, shields, and overshields like Titan and Warlock have.
Hunters' Gunslinger subclass only lasts less than 10 seconds, and you only get three shots. If you miss then you're gonna die; whereas a Titan can miss his Super, but still take out the entire team. Same with the Warlock, as they can miss and still take out whole teams.
Hunters' Bladedancer subclass is underpowered against enemies who see it coming. A Titan and Warlock can Super and kill the Hunter with ease. A Titan and Warlock can shotgun, then melee, and kill the Hunter in Bladedancer.
What Hunters need.
Overshield when in Bladedancer/make them harder to kill.
Get rid of the timer on Golden Gun, or extend the time, or give more shots.
Allow Golden Gun bullets to explode if fired at the ground, so if you miss you can still kill the player/AI enemy; just like a Titan/Warlock.
A damage boost to Blink Strike/Throwing Knife.
Precision Kills with Throwing Knife regen health.
A hit/kill with Blink Strike will wrap your body in Arc energy(Overshield).
I've been shoulder-charged insta-killed, Warlock and Titan Super killed through walls and around corners, and killed by a Titan Super on the ground while ontop of a tall structure.
Hunters are sooo underpowered. It's either get in dangerously close, or don't miss.
What do you think Hunters need? Or are they just as good as Titan and Warlock even without insta-kill melee, without melee that gives overshields, being easy to kill during Gunslinger and Bladedancer, etc.?

I hate how the hunter doesnt have a super that will wipe teams. When I use blade dancer the entire team should run like they do when hammers are heard. Not switch to a conspiricy theory D. What would honestly make me content is a "hunter shoulder charge" if you will. I mean sprint a short distance get a lunge and slice the opponent with a knife. Seems bungees already making us get super close might as well let us do something

Example of Titan perk: Shoulder Charger (wow) Example of Warlock perk: Incoming melee attacks fully recharge and intensify your Thunderstrike (OP) Example of Hunter perk: Precision kills increase weapon stability (yawn) = Titans and Warlocks are on one tier, and Hunters are on a much lower tier I think your point about overshields is an important one! Hunters have no equivalent! Same goes for the Titans and Warlocks being able to miss their Supers and still wipe a team! Their Supers require far less skill. On another note, Golden Gun is now incredibly weak in PvE. Golden Gun can't even one-hit-kill a shielded RED enemy! Absurd! Bungie doesn't care about Hunters...

Hunters are anything but underpowered in the Crucible; they're tailored for PvP. Between the three classes, the Hunter has the most control over his/her Super. Golden Gun, for example, enables you to dispatch your foes WHILE you're mobile. It is very difficult to evade, and with decent aiming you can pick off targets at long range with ease. Likewise, you maintain that same control with the Arc Blade, which boosts your defense and movement speed. The Warlock's Sunsinger subclass comes quite close, but you have to have excellent grenade throwing skills, especially at medium to long range. I take it you've never competed against a team of 6 Gunslingers in the Crucible.

5 RepliesI'm all about OP/UP threads and totally down with speaking your mind, but I flat out disagree that Hunters are underpowered. Bladedance is by far the most overpowered skill in the entire game. There's no other skill that can literally cheese through an entire fireteam with time to spare all the while taking damage from 3-4 guys.
-
Says the guy with only two hunters. Seriously, don't tell me you need this buff when you don't play anything other then a hunter. Maybe one of those buffs might work, maybe, but all of them would be beyond ridiculous.
-
Omg, lol.
-
Agreed, lol. Buff hunters !!!!
-
Hunters are not underpowered in pvp there just right. As far as pve they are worthless. Arc blade nor useful at all. Golden needs a buff in pve hits about as hard as a sniper
-
If BD got an over shield it should be after the first kill. Regular melee is fine but charge melees like throwing knife and blink strike should be more powerful. I'm thinking PVE for this last one. The gunslinger helm should give like six shots and the third man helm should last longer so you can make more than 4 orbs
-
My primary is a Hunter, and I have to say that OP needs to do some more research before throwing out posts like this. You need to fine tune your sub-class perks. Every class can be incredibly lethal, but you have to have experience and skill to really benefit from their abilities. Also, Hunter's aren't built for the "run n' gun" play-style.
-
I disagree. They are great for PvE and PvP

Hunter have insta kill knives if u r skilled. Goldwn gun insta kill from far away. Arc blade doesnt need even more def, speed is more than enough to dodge anything. They turn invisible, backstab is insta kill. Trip mine is insta kill to 1 or more enemies if u r skilled. They have the highest agi from all 3. They have mobile supers. They r very focused on PvP I dont see why do you say they r underpowered. Hunters play very different from titans or locks. A lock can get close and sponge some dmg thanks to overshields, but, its slow as a turtle good luck trying to flee. Titans r melee beasts their fist of panic is strong aoe but it can be easily dodged shoulder charge as well. Good luck trying to run away from arc blade or golden gun. If you dont hear them activating them u r good as dead.

Edited by TheWickedZaku: 4/6/2015 2:17:37 PMHunters have a health regen melee. They can also turn invisible. They do have an instant kill with golden gun. Titans and warlocks will use there special even on one person. At least hunters have potential of killing more than one. Blade dancers can be good. But I find myself getting killed by anything with a pulse in one shot. Specially a warlock melee. All in all I think hunters are well fitted for the PvP experience. I'm thinking you don't play enough to notice the greatness. That's not saying titans or warlocks are bad either but if I have a choice for PvP in going with the Hunter. I have been using my titan here lately and I do find it funny to special one guy or a whole team . I don't like using my special and getting gunned down by one guy though. Specially with the buff that make you more invincible. Makes no sense. Anyways.....

Arc blade needs a sheild
-
I disapprove of this post and I am a hunter we are too overpowered! Invisibility! *poof*
-
Hungering blade regenerates health on a blink strike kill? You already have a to. Of resistance in blade dance form because you take same damage as a warlock with radiant skin. They are still amazing in PvP. No buff please if you need it for the hunter then that really says something .
-
Ultimate scrub post!
-
This post is rubbish
-
Shut up
-
You don't know much until you play another class. 2 hunters and you want to speak on class balance? Try it out sometime.
-
Umm... You dumb, bro? Hunters aren't the same play-style wise as the other two. Use your agility and other abilities to your advantage. Neither of the other classes can go invisible.
-
Are you serious right now? Not trying to be rude but do you know how op they are in PvP. They got not just one instant kill super but two! Also they are great in PvE being able to one shot things like supplicants and being able to go invisible. So sorry to tell you, but your argument is invalid.
-
I'm a hunter and I disapprove this old post.
-
Edited by aem: 4/6/2015 10:50:12 AMA lot of people will discredit you knowing that you only have 2 hunters. Implying then that you never played the other two classes. Sure you can mention an ability the titan or warlock has which hunters don't, but then it could work vice versa in your argument. Each class plays differently; each class has their own unique abilities, weaknesses and strengths. Your task is how to beat the other class with the tools your class comes with.

Is this a really delayed April fools post?
