I saw the linked video of someone using the new warlock helm to demonstrate how useful it is in the new strike. and got to thinking, again, how hunters keep getting the shaft with they're exotics. They just never FEEL Exotic save the Symbiote and the Knucklehead. The third man, I barely notice a difference with it's effects. These are my humble ideas of how I would improve them at least make them feel exotic.
ATS/8 ARACHNID: I thought this felt entirely unneeded to me especially since it doesn't actually improve the range, then I got to thinking what I would have done to make it feel exotic and then it was obvious. What if this helmet turned your GG into a sniper Rifle?! That would be really fun and make it feel entirely unique.
Radiant dance Machines: I haven't tried these so I cant say how they are in use but I can say how totally underwhelming the effect is on these boots.I nstead of moving faster while ADS how about if you can Reload while at a full sprint?! That's something nobody can do! Hunters are supposed to be the games agility class, well that would make ya feel more agile and mobile. The other idea would be to simply increase speed while invisible. Help the Inviso hunters get to any enemy faster while in stealth.
anyway just a couple ideas that I thought I'd share. I know my fellow hunters are frustrated with our lack of awesome gear, maybe someday we'll get a exotic update 2.0 and get some gear that can compete. Please share any ideas you have to better current hunter gear, comment about mine or ideas for new gear in general.

In regards to the hunter boots, if you have ever played call of duty at a decent level since mw3 you would understand how much of an asset increased ads strafe speeds are in fps games. Everyone strafes at the same speed so muscle memory trails them at a constant speed, all of a sudden someone is moving faster than your reticle seems to be able to move and they outgun you because youre literally shooting a step behind them while theyre pinging your head like normal. Those boots will make hunters much better in pvp gunfights. Give it a few weeks, maybe a month or two and youll see.
