Hunters in endgame content.

[b][i][u]READ THE EDIT SECTION[/u][/i][/b] Just about useless. My main was a hunter until I realized this. Hunters bring nothing to the table. Chain of Woe and Gunslinger Trance? Nope no good on bosses. Golden gun? A fully upgraded legendary does more damage than GG. Arcblade? Great way to suicide. Whats a Hunters best stat? The one that does the least. Agility. WTF is agility good for? Movement? Maybe if it added crit damage and reload speed, maybe then it'd be useful. Golden Gun needs to [b][i]CRIT[/i][/b] when I shoot a boss in a crit area with GG I should be able to [b]see[/b] health disappear. A lvl 28 hunter should be able to halve a lvl 12 sepiks prime's hp in one GG. if he crits all three. Arcblade needs to 3 hit reaver captains and 4 hit a praetorean. Anything with red hp should instagib. PERIOD. And healing should be a basic ability on Arcblade. Chain of Woe and Gunslinger Trance should be changed to [b][i]Precision Damage[/i][/b] instead of precision kill. Thats all. And none of this would effect PvP in the slightest. Edit: Hunters aren't [i]totally[/i] useless. They lack any sort of ability to take a hit. Normally the squishy characters are rounded out by an ability to do high damage. Hence the term "Glass Cannon" Hunters have the glass part down pat. But though they get a "Cannon" it is useless on anything other than trash mobs. That and their inability to drop mass amounts of orbs (like other classes can) gives the team less of a reason to [i]need[/i] a Hunter in end game content. Sure they [i]can[/i] be effective, but that is an expression of the skill of the player. Who most likely would be even [b][i]more[/i][/b] useful as a Defender or Sunsinger. That is the crux of my arguments. If you rock face in Hardmode VoG as a Hunter, go level up (or borrow) a Sunsinger or Defender and play Hardmode with that. I guarantee you'll come back here with a new appreciation of the hinderance Hunter has actually been for you.

    as a lvl 29 hunter I unfortunately agree :/ there is pretty much nothing a hunter can do (that has any use) that a warlock or a titan can't do. The only use for golden gun is indeed killing oracles. On bosses, my ice breaker does about twice the damage of golden gun. As for blade dancer, using that in hard vog is suicide, even in tiger strikes you got a good chance of getting murdered even on foes such as minotaurs or knights. The only useful thing blade dance has is invisibility, that one is useful for reviving teammates. If gunslinger had a skill like chain of woe that increases damage we'd have some use. Say precision HITS increase damage by 5%, stacks up to 3 times. This would be a great skill for endgame content.
