Hunters got no love?

In Destiny 2, they introduced the 3rd ability (hold circle) and I feel that hunters got no love, Titans got the barriers and Warlocks got the healing and empowering rifts which are new and exciting additions to Destiny. Hunters on the other hand got an ability they already had. Also Guardians also received small additions like Warlocks can charge their Void grenades and Titans still have Ward of Dawn, but again Hunters got nothing new.

  • Hunters can insta-reload powerful guns (think sleeper). Combine that with a golden gun with precision damage bonuses and we will be dps gods.

  • Dude were fine. But a lower cool down like to 12 seconds would be nice. But it's not even a big deal. Keep in mind we haven't seen any exotics yet. Mabey there is one that gives you what your looking for.

    And you didn't even mention that Arcstrider is basically just like Bladedancer, and the new Golden Gun lasts about as long as a 20-year-old virgin. Hunters definitely got the short end of the stick. [spoiler]And why the -blam!- is your melee a punch on Arcstrider? It should be a knife not some puny ass punch.[/spoiler]

      • Well, we've only seen a fraction of what will eventually be available. So who's to say there won't be similar things later on. Also, I think it's worth noting that once it's all opened up, subclass paths can't be mixed or matched like in the old days. So, who can say what it will all look like. But one should expect a new way of doing things. But I agree that the Hunter ability is a bit underwhelming. It provides no help to your fireteam in either PVE or PVP. And honestly, in PVP, it won't extend your lifespan by much, especially given the trend toward team shooter. These are quibbles, though. I'm still looking forward to day 1 and beyond.

          Did you actually play a Titan and warlock? That Hunter dodge ability can save your life and get you behind cover and reload your weapon. Titans wall is useful it can protect you and reload your weapon. The warlocks rift is useless. You have to stand in one spot to either do more damage or get some healing ability. I don't know about you but if I stand still in destiny I'm going to die really fast. It was so useless. You take to much damage standing still for either one to be useful. I would rather have the Hunter dodge. I will trade you the power/healing rifts for your dodge ability. The damage increase was so small it wasn't worth it and the healing right does nothing if you are taking damage.

              • You do realize that evade will either reload your gun or refill your melee perk right?

                  • Not gonna lie, played Destiny 2 beta and Hunters hardly got anything new... Same old abilities, just upgraded by a bit... A knife turns into a staff, a gun gets more golden shots... Wow, it's really helpful.. thanks Bungie. Honestly, their dodge ability should at least have a lower cooldown if you wanna be realistic.. Like come one, a long as cooldown for like a 2 out of 10 chance of surviving. At least Titans can get a shield to block damage, Warlocks get a friggen healing platform, yes it's not that helpful, but it's something new. Hunters haven't been given the potential they should deserve. Lower the cooldown on their dodge ability or at least give it a better impact instead of just reloading weapon automatically, or recharge in melee. At least automatically regens health, or gain a short lasting shield or something like that. Honestly, they can do better. In my opinion that is.

                      • I don't agree. I played all the classes in the beta and ended up most impressed by arc strider both for pve and PvP. The dodge is actually really good in pve if both your team mates are down, and the punch/roll recharge thing is such a good laugh. I love that. I think they nailed what the hunter is supposed to be. You can't rush in, you have to pick your moment.

                        • I think you missed the "Dodge instantly refills melee ability" and "melee kill instantly refills Dodge" bits. They made the classes much more distinct and fitting for their titles. Titans now have a more Frontline tank role. Warlocks can better buff/heal the team. Hunters can now use real gorilla tactics and movement.

                        • I actually found the the 'hold circle' maneuver to be the most effective and enjoyable to use as opposed to getting gunned down while I put my healing circle down or shoulder charge melee combo through my barrier. With the evasive maneuver that the hunter had, I could easily move around a wall, regen a considerable amount of health, whilst bating my half health enemy into thinking that they got me down, and then proceeding to unload on them with my freshly loaded SMG.

                          Its about time... Hunters shouldnt have had all those extra abiliies in D1... Throwing knifes, Smoke, Blink and Invisibility. Stop whining Hunters and get over it. Titans didnt even have 1 of those things, warlocks had blink but that was it. I just feel like Bungie allways favoured Hunters over all the other classes, so im glad they leveled the planefield by addning class abilities in D2. Hunters didnt get anything new because they had so much old already.

                          • I don't know about other people, but I thought the near infinite loop of dodge/melee was pretty awesome in PVE for hunters. I thought about it a bit and believe there will be numerous opportunities for this. Especially when you get some kind of armor mod that increases super regen from melee kills, or generate an orb from melee kills.

                          • And yet I guarantee you it’ll be the most played class in the beginning of D2

                            • In PvP GG Hunters get a dodge, that isnt a dodge, and a throwing knife that does not reward precision with high damage. No real reason to go pole-dancer in PvP, but the super seems to be powerful in PvE. I had to endure the trash talk from my group during the strike due to the buff hunters provide being inferior to the titans and warlocks. I got tired of hearing "hey hunter, buff us... or something lololololol"

                            • Full disclosure: Hunter was the only class I played in the beta, and I only played for one evening, but it was very underwhelming to me. The evade ability felt so worthless and recharged so slowly that I would forget I even had it. I just don't see how it matches the utility of throwing down cover or healing/empowering rifts in either PvE or PvP.

                            • I'd say warlocks are in a worst position. Yea rift is good but that's really all we got. That empowering grenade will continually eat up our super till we throw it and there's no cancel. And that slow nova bomb.
