Hunter supers useless in new arena mode?

Ok just hear me out. I have all three characters and do enjoy them all. So this isn't a hate post about hunters. Let's be real for a minute. If this is going to be some horde mode with endless waves of enemies then what do hunters bring to the table that can help defend in a team work style game play Warlocks: - nova bomb will clear out huge packs of enemies especially equipped with obsidian mind. Endless nova bombs will be a huge factor - Raidiance can play a big roll in this considering we could see a lot of death when we get into high waves. Being able to come back to life and pick up other down teammates to save the game could be huge. Not to mention endless grenades to clear out huge groups Titans: - Ward of Dawn can play a huge part in this. Especially paired with helm of saint 14. It's a big team oriented super then can benefit everyone and keep the fight going with blessing and more damage with weapons - fist of havic can be key when taking out a big group on your ass or clearing out those bosses that we just can't take down at the moment hunter: - blade dance could be effective but in the end it really doesn't do much when you have too many enemies grouped and doesn't make a lot of orbs to help your teammates get there supers back. Going invisible could help a lot but thats about the only thing I see be useful. Hunters don't have much armor to begin with so this is what worries me. - golden gun in my opinion could be the least effective super in this mode. Yes It can take out some bosses quick if need be but the fact that you only get 3-4 shots doesn't seem to me like it would be as much use in the team based mode where everyone needs to support each other. Only thing I see being useful is that fact that they can create quick orbs for everyone when it's needed Please give me your opinion id love to hear it!

  • Hunters invis is one of the most useful things in nightfalls/horde mode things because they can revive anyone, anywhere. But if your team is too good and doesn't die then GG with achliophage symbiote (or however you spell it) would still do well and generate a decent bit of orbs for teammates, i use it on crotas end HM and get 8 with it which is about what I've seen titans do and 1 short of warlocks so

    • Hunters can blade dance massive hoards of adds and can go invis to grab team mates when they go down. If you run a hunter in a co-op mode and don't use your class to benefit the team GTFO

      Bladedancing energy wave, Golden Gun piercing and combustion. Really, look at the trees first, please. [spoiler]Hunter's don't make that many orbs because it's possible to kill sooooo many enemies with one super drop. [/spoiler]

        • Don't get me wrong.. I think they are kind of useless.. But if you do bladedancer + encore + lots of enemies.. = ever lasting super. I was in super for the entire first part of the omnigal strike once. If there are lots of enemies.. It might be good? But overall the other two classes will be dominant.

            • I just wish they would increase orb generation for hunters in PVE. Their excuse of "You can be invisible and revive people" for why you can't make more orbs is absolutely ridiculous. Most of the PVE stuff in this game is easy enough to where you don't really have to worry about revives anyways on a good fireteam and side by side comparison, Titans and Warlocks are just better at orb generation and pumping out more supers for teammates. That's the only reason hunters feel underwhelming in PVE to me compared to the other two classes. Now if you are all lone wolf and don't care about your teammates in co-op modes than hunters are fine I suppose.

            • Golden gun with combustion will be a mob killer/orb generator Blade dancer will be the best mob killer of them all. Using either show stopper or razors edge can wipe out huge groups of enemies 3/4 times per super. Using razors edge on the abyss with a full party I usually generate 8 orbs per super.

              • Arc Blade - Razor's Edge paired with Encore and mask of Third Man. Keeps higher enemies staggered and at a distance, smaller enemies killed and extends duration of Arc Blade. Omnigul Strike, First Room: Done Correctly, you can stop all thrall and knights during there waves with one arc blade... Gunslinger - Achlyophage Symbiote and Combustion, kill large number of small enemies also great for generating orbs.

              • Invisibility will be crucial, especially if there are revives: the hunters will be the medics of the fire team. Their blade dancer stacked with mask of third man can be very dangerous and useful because of the ability to constantly get their super regenerated. Don't sleep on us

                    Arc Blade w/ Showstopper or Razer's Edge = solid AOE. (Only issue I've ever had with these is trying to be effective with them during Arc burn NF's because you can still be easily sniped. Should work fine in a "raid" scenario.) Golden Gun w/ Keyhole + Combustion = clears groups more than effectively.

                    • Setup right a blade dancer can go for quite a bit, recharge off your teammates' orbs, rinse repeat.

                      • If it were not for my Hunter we would have wiped during the Nightfall last night. Both the Warlock and Titan went down several times and using invis I was able to revive them to help the TEAM. Don't get me wrong I died a couple times too AND I have and play all 3 classes ( all level 32 ) Each class is a benifit to the team and we still don't really know what or how the arena mode will work. So for now we will just have to wait and see. But I can tell you one thing for certain......1st time I enter the arena it WILL be on my Hunter! has been and always will be my main.

                      • Depends on how this mode works. If it is boss after boss, yeah the supers aren't going to be great. If it is waves of ads, yeah the supers can be great. Bladedancer with Encore and a Mask and a bunch of grouped ads could blade dance for minutes. (See video of bladedancer in the old loot cave during a war breakout).) Golden Gun with Combination and Symbiote could take out swaths of ads.

                      • Golden gun with either the exploding or penetration perks is great for clearing groups of trash mobs, and in a horde mode, thats deffo useful. Bladedancers? Erm, yeah they may struggle a bit...

                      • I have the ENCORE set on my blade dancer. That allows me to keep going with my super as long as I keep killing. On one strike I went for several minutes nonstop! Imagine slicing & dicing through a horde mode (if that is what arena is even going to be, since they never said what it would be.).
