Yeah, I've sniped many golden gunners and shotty plus melee bladedancers, although people's only complain about how they're very pvp oriented. Gunslinger: Trip mine grenades- Good: Not only do they stick, they are great to hold choke points and get multi kills. Bad: can easily be shot and do not always work the way you want. Throwing knives- Good: Highest ranged melee, can result in one knife one shot kills Bad: Knives can miss in crucial moments, really guys, they're not as accurate as you think Golden Gun- Good: Multiple one shot kills, can wipe out entire teams with combustion. Generate many orbs and points quickly Bad: If used in wrong moments, you can be sniped, gunned, supered, shottied and grenaded. You're stats are not increased and can be killed the same as you and me. Bladedancer: Flux and Arcbolt Grenades- Good: Heavy hitting and can chain to kill you from a distance. Flux grenades react and move the same as magnetic and fusion grenades. Bad: Not too much bad here, bladedancer grenades are pretty good. Blink and blink strike- Good- Quickly gain distance and can be used to attack and get out of supers and rockets with ease. Bad- If you misjudge your blink or use it too early or late, you're gonna be in the same situation as the person your blinking from, blink also has a cold own Blink strike really is powerful, not too much bad there. Bladedancer- Good: One hit kill melees on regular guardians, razors edge, hungering blade and encore. Blink plus one of those is pretty tough. Bad: A bad bladedance can result in getting supered, shottied or sniped (if sniped quite a few). [spoiler]you know what's funny? I don't even have a hunter [/spoiler] Every guardian has its own perks, hunters are simply blamed for deaths becuase they're pvp oriented.

True... I even resented them in my early days until I started playing with more hunters and then when I made my hunter I realized the array of challenges. They aren't under powered or harder to use just different and they take some getting used to.
