Hello! Level 30 Hunter here with over 180hrs of play time. Hard mode and normal raid beaten (no exploits) From personal experience, as well as opinion, [i]Bladedancer[/i] is useless. Especially in hard mode (cannot rez teammates). [b]A)[/b] stealth is useless for 90% of it except the maze - I stealth to the chest and wait while everyone dies trying to get to it. [b]B)[/b] your Super, Arc Blade, is nice for say a bunch of goblins rushing ya, but against minotaurs and pretorians, you have a likely chance of dying. Extremely ill advised to try to arc blade much of anything in hard mode. Thus, I prefer [i]Gunslinger.[/i] [b]A)[/b] Golden Gun allows you to keep range between you and tough mobs - distance is important in hard mode. [b]B)[/b] Triple Jump is always a win. [b]C)[/b] Faster reloads with Chain of Woe makes a huge difference when you have tons of mobs swarming your conflux. [b]D)[/b] [i]Throwing Knife.[/i] Get a crit with that and it's a beauty thing - also fun to throw past your buddies. You know they'll smirk at the noise of it flying by their head. I am a die hard [i]Gunslinger[/i] because I absolutely love having that golden gun range. Don't get me wrong, I have [i]Bladedancer[/i] leveled as well for those clutch stealth revives in Nightfalls and whatnot, but for the raid I just don't see much use out of [i]Bladedancer. [/i] [spoiler]Personal opinion, of course.[/spoiler]
