I always see a lot of hate for hunters and as a primary Hunter player I'd like to defend my class. The main complaint I hear about is the supers. Blade Dancer in particular. “They're overpowered/last too long/have too much range.” While I agree Blade Dancer is slightly unbalanced and Golden Gun can seem unfair when you get popped from range, here's why I think they're balanced overall. The hunter is, by far, the worst class for PvP. Now, before everyone starts screaming, “Bullsh*t! I always get shot by Golden Gun/knifed by Arc Blade!” Let me explain. Aside from the supers, the hunter has nothing going for it. Take Golden Gun. A gunslinger Hunter has no perks that really help them in Crucible like Titans and Warlocks. This is not to say that a good player can't still dominate a match but compared to the other classes it offers nothing to the equation. A striker Titan has a running Melee that is a one hit kill no matter what if it lands. I know it's easy enough to kill them if you have a shotgun or shoot them enough but this is still Unbalanced as all hell. It should definitely have a cool down.. I believe their Storm fist is also a one hit kill. (Though it may just be that I'm the only person that just so happens to be shot by someone else the same instant as they hit me with it...) A Defender has a Melee that grants them a shield that can grant them Sleight of hand and isn't used up if the hit doesn't kill you. Both Warlock Classes’ Melee attacks have extremely long range for a Melee, whether it's their heavy Melee or not, and the Sunsinger class has a Melee that gives them an over shield, not for getting a kill, but just for hitting someone. Even a the Titan Barrier Melee has to kill someone first. Not to mention the residual Burn damage. The Hunter on the other hand? Gunslinger has a throwing knife that is sometimes hard to hit when your enemy is just jumping everywhere, but as a heavy Melee it's not even a one hit kill. Even a precision headshot isn't a one hit kill, something that one would assume it should be considering how hard it can be to land it. Not even the burn effect takes care of them. Blade dancer on the other hand is a little better because of the added range the heavy Melee adds but even that's not an instant kill unless you have the backstab perk and the radar makes getting that damn near impossible. Sure we can go invisible but most of the time that invisibility will run out well before we can successfully flank an enemy. They Hungering Blade Perk also won't work unless the heavy Melee gets the kill, which gets used up in the first strike if you're hitting a fresh enemy.
