I disagree, seems very balanced. Warlock/Titan have a onetime use, so you really need to line up the enemies an dhope they are all within the blast radius, a hunter gets 3 shots, and can take down almost any non-elite enemy in one shot, giving him 3 opportunities to kill. Plus you get to stand back pretty far and use that from a safe distance, where as the titan needs to literally go into the crowd, leaving him open to major attack. The Warlock also needs to be within a close range too. On top of that, you guys get a ranged melee attack where as the other 2 are only close range. Each class has its tradeoffs...

  • That is true, but the other 2 classes needn't to aim as much, the warlock can throw the nova bomb like a spirit bomb and the blast radius is huge. The Titan has a shield anyway and half of them are up in the enemies face as it is. The Hunter's golden gun is a good idea but compare the effectiveness to the other classes, it's just not balanced in my opinion. Too address the ranged melee, we have it as our counter part to our grenades so there is a cool down (no complaint) but there is very little skills that work with the knife. It's a slow ranged melee that can light enemies on fire if you hit with it and it has no skills that tie into it making it more effective. Extending the Golden Gun duration is useless facing hordes and when you're throwing a knife you can also be shooting.

  • Heres the thing. You are only playing a small portion of the class right now. In the full game if you read the full details of the class, you will see that the hunter gets some really good advantages later on too. While the Warlock and Titan just improve for the most part, the Hunter gets the ability to cloak (on his 2nd class) and also the ability to have TWO knives, and if you get a headshot with one, it AUTO RELOADS the knife free of charge. That is a pretty insane bonus. So if we are comparing Specials to Specials, sure the hunter isn't amazing, its just really damn good, however the classes as a whole seem VERY balanced in total. I've now got to L8 on all 3 classes on BOTH systems remade them and working on getting to 8 AGAIN. I had no problem with any class, they were all a joy to play, and each had something fun about them.
