SHALL NOT STOP. At least not by me. What can the dead weights offer in VoG? Counter my statements one by one and I may reconsider their value.
1. Their melee...is a joke. Defenders can Shield, Strikers can Aoe, Voidwalker OP, Sunsinger burns + Shield. Hunter?...throwing knife...yeah...useful. Blink strike...yeah...useful...
2. Their ults are a joke. Bladedancer is useless for obvious reasons. Gunslinger's peashooter (yeah ok it hits somewhat hard, don't over exaggerate it, I know how hard it hits.) is a 3 shot chump. Compared to what the Titan (even the striker) and Warlocks have to offer, they are -blam!-ing useless. Striker's ult can at least leave/send a shockwave forward. Defender shield bubbles offer buffs. Voidwalkers nuke a large area of the map. Sunsingers literally bring 'hell' to the entire map. (Sidenote: There is currently an ongoing Sunsinger infinite revive glitch. It can be a safe precaution.)
3.Their grenades are again, a -blam!-ing joke. ALL of the gunslinger's grenade options are complete shit in VoG with the exception (barely even passable) of the mine grenade which can help take out the praetorians, KEY WORD: HELP. Does not mean it takes the bugger out. Bladedancer's only redeeming grenade is the arc bolt which even then only goes off ONCE whereas a Titan's lightning grenade does MORE dmg and with the aftershock perk (which should be on at all times.) lasts and make it go off multiple times.
4. Hunters are dead weight, including in PvP. Rather than try and defend your status, preach for a buff. -blam!-ing idiots.
Edit #1: To hunters trying to showcase their little peashooter (Nerf Gun) 1-shotting oracles. fatebringer 2 shots oracles, holds 12 rounds without the field scout perk. Has insane reload speed upon a precision kill+explosive damage upon precision kill (Awww Hunter's precision reload crap ain't exclusive no more? *sad face*), and 1-shots every mob in VoG with the exception of praetorians. You mad bros?
To hunters saying Sunsingers need revive because they 'suck' or 'intend to die' I say this: No one goes in planning to get slaughtered, but say your partner goes down (yes, your partner, particularly a useless hunter. 'Cuz ya know, VoG is divided into groups. but you already know that right?) and the dipshit gets killed. You're left by yourself to SOLO your damn section, fulfilling a ROLE that was intended to be for TWO people. BUT as an awesome super epic Warlock with your obviously superior skills and ability, you can only last for so long right? (this is in regard to HARD, where res is impossible, unless ofc, you're a Sunsinger~) You die getting outnumbered and blah blah blah, and well...you die right? But guess what? FEAR NOT for the epic radiant Sunsinger will save the day and make up for the useless Hunter's dead weight and rise from the ashes like a glorious phoenix burning everything in it's path, slaughtering the vast number of Vex that once outnumbered the mighty Guardian. You end up providing some nice amount of orbs, but crap...you wasted your Super. What if the SS (SS= Sunsinger) gets outnumbered again? Will he/she last until his/her ult is back up? Well therein lies your team. The ingenious Warlock with his/her superior intellect quickly scurries off to other sections picking up the countless (vast amounts?) of orbs provided by the team's Supers. And well what do you know? It's back to FUKING full~ And that's how Warlocks carry the dead weight of stupid shitty hunters and why we choose revive. To make up for the possible lack of 'power' from someone in the fireteam (typically a hunter).
To hunters saying that Titans/Locks cheesed the raid. I'm sure a vast majority of you have asked for a cheese or have participated in a cheese, but can't do it as often as you'd like (solo). I feel the envy. Locks/Titans can do the raid legitimately and without a useless dead weight like the hunter. But if the option is there, why not cut every corner possible? Will it give me higher rate of eco drops if we do it legitimately? You guys are the better players? Hmmm Yeap Time consuming task. Feel proud. I know that feeling. I've both done it legitimately and cheesed it. I'll cheese it whenever I feel like it. The option is there. Sucks you guys can't do it, but more than often suggest it.
Edit #2: So much posting, = more bump. Damn. My opinion is final, and not a single Hunter has given any valid proof on how they better themselves than the other 2 competing classes. Hunters are shit now, and will be shit in future patches, but worry not useless hunters. Perhaps, just perhaps your 3rd subclass will be redeemable. Kudos and happy trolling~ o/
Edit #3: Further reasons why Hunters are shitty. Terrible jump. Terrible super (for PvE). Low armor and health. Least aesthetically appealing. They're not as 'op' as people make them out to be, and the cape is meh (fugly as shit). Quit fawning over the shitty capes -blam!-ing idiots the lot of you. I'll take my Amazing Warlock blazer or amazing Titan Master Chief suit.
Edit #4: It seems there is a single Valid counter to my post. A hunter can make themselves useful in VoG Hard wiping the Titan and Warlock's boot's.
P.S. Hunters are useless, keep telling yourself otherwise if it helps you sleep at night. At the end of the day you hunters bring ABSOLUTELY nothing to the table in comparison to the other 2 classes.

The only advantages that the hunters have is there good supers(pvp) and ranged melee for gunslinger.

yea thats why i dont raid on my hunter or at all actually since why would i. no pvp im not interested

1 ReplyI use a hunter as my main character, pretty much all the points you make are true. However I do not agree that hunters are dead weight or even relatively close to that. Your point on our grenades doesn't make to much sense since our grenades deal high damage in a single blow( arc bolt and tripmine). Which is actually really good in PvE since enemies will not stay in or go near areas of effected with damage over time such as solar and pulse grenades. So after the initial blow the grenade loses effectiveness. In terms of super I agree that the gunslinger is under powered since golden gun deals very low damage and can't get precision damage. However it is slightly useful for clearing out a bunch of regular enemies that may pose problems in groups. Also in raw value we get our supers back incredibly fast without taking armor abilities into account so when orbs of light aren't available or disappear we can generate more for Titans and warlocks, the blade dancer super allows for multiple killing of enemies while sustaining constant health( Hungering blade) it may not have the high damage output but when your surrounded from multiple enemies from different directions in the vault we could take care of them quick and maintain ourselves while you can focus on your objective. As for Melee abilities hunters rely on timing your melee so your able to avoid damage and quickly attack enemies. Blade dancer can use blink avoiding damage if used properly and hunter can theoretically have infinite throwing knives if used accurately. The abilities of the hunter aren't as reliable in the vault as the abilities of the warlock and Titan. However if used skillfully and accurately it can be just as effective as the other classes. However it is extremely situationally since it depends on the play style of the person. Since hunters aren't as versatile as the other classes when it comes to the play style of the user. This is my honest outlook on the hunter class and as I said it is my preferred class and is my main character this is how I see it from my experience and I do have a warlock as my second character so I am aware of its abilities.

Oh my god is this guy serious? this is probably the funniest post I've ever seen.

6 RepliesWe offer utility in our ability to revive by stealth. If I'm last guardian standing if something goes "oh shit" I can revive people safely when I'm blade dancing. Besides this is ONE raid there will be more that could accentuate our usefulness in the future stop hating on us you never know when we'll need each other. Can't we be one big happy family? You wouldn't hate your child if he had autism, why is poor huntards?
-
Hunter hate won't stop, because insecure idiots like OP thrive on being considered inherently "cool" or "better." At this point it shows you and others like you to be pathetic and constantly on the look out for outward assurance of your worth

So in the few times that my group has done vog, my hunter has been useless? Kind of funny seeing as how the 2 hunters we use in the raid destroy everything while the locks and titans concentrate on the main objective. We are the slayers. We keep the main group safe. Last I checked my blink and blade dancer have taken out entire droves while the rest focused on the Templar and atheon. I won't deny the hunter grenades being useless. They are. And as far as pvp goes. How many times have you seen a lock or Titan clear a room with a super? I haven't as of yet. Yes I love my lock. But my hunter is just as mean and twice as survivable.

Cool story bro
-
Lol do the hard raid first with me xbox one. And we will see who dies first :) ps.. Fatebringer does not 2 shot oracles not even in normal raid
-
Each class has their ups and downs, point being supers make a huge difference and can hugely influence your play style. Most players understand this and adapt, class survivability in my mind is mostly based on the play style of said player. So in other words play smart.
-
Hunter Golden Guns are actually pretty great at Atheon. Just beat it today on hard as a hunter. Screw you.

My hunter smashes in raids u play with shitty teammate apparently

2 RepliesI would take literally any hunter with me to VoG over you.

9 RepliesThe fact that you even took the time to type all of this just proves you have too much time on your hands....1. You don't need a team full of titans or warlocks, that's overkill. The buffs don't stack 2. While you have titans and locks using they're stuff (that does more dmg), I'm assuming you would want that hurting the main objective of your current fight. Hunters will take out the adds. Or vice versa if you have titans and locks hitting adds, you're doing something wrong. 3. Think about how many times an invisible blade dancer has revived you and multiple teammates. Don't say hunters are useless, every class has something the others can't do and just because you see no point in them doesn't mean they aren't important
-
We'll have to see if they become more useful in the moon raid.

4 Replies1. I do not need to melee. I kill the enemy before getting that close to me 2. I have 4 shots of Golden Gun which in turn take out 4 oracles in normal or 2 oracles in hard 3. Tripline will kill multiple supplicants or do a solid 8k damage to Atheon 4. In PVP I have the agility to dodge you and kill you whilst I move around. Also usually top 3 scores in crucible I have all three characters and prefer hunter over all of them. The only reason I made the other two was to get the trophies. 5. Hunter with the relic > titan/warlock with relic

1 ReplySo you simply picked a "powerful" class. Kudos.
-
Sounds like you have been playing with some bad hunters. I personally rock the hunter and most of the things you are saying that are negative about the hunter MUST have been from what other people are saying. I could very well turn around and say the same things about warlocks and titans but I don't, just depends on the person playing not the class.

2 RepliesI joined a fresh hard VoG yesterday with my 29 hunter. I laughed when the people questioned me and they said hunters aren't very valuable in the raid. Almost every time I was the last guardian standing when all the titans and warlocks had been killed! Playing with the hunter is the most fun because it requires the most skill to stay alive which makes it the most rewarding class to play!
