I already see hunters getting screwed in raids.

First off I'm hunter. Always will be. It feels like people already don't want hunters in their raid group. They say because it has no support sub class and would be useless. As someone who has raided for many years I know how important a dps is. Going into a raid with all warlocks and titans with their support sub classes active just won't work well. You need those killing machines. Could be a hunter, maybe a Titan with striker or warlock with it's void damage. The other thing is we don't even know at this point if the suspected third sub class for hunter is support or not. It may end up being some long rang heal or maybe even something that grants all your team invisibility. Who knows. Not sure why people are already shunning the hunter for raids but I can see the hunter being great in a raid as a bladedancer and I can't wait to see what the third sub class is if in fact we get one at release. It may very well end up being the best support sub class in the game, it may not but the point is hunters for life. Just like a lot of people who think the Titan is the best melee I beg to differ. Hunters melee is incredible. Note: I am not saying one class is better than the other. I actually think they are all great and I'll play all of them. Hunter will always be my main though. Just like the speed and throwing knife and the jump fits my playstyle. Very fast.

    There are three classes.... Lol.... It takes two seconds to hit lvl 20. Everyone is going to be everything, and everything is going to be similar. This isn't WoW, everyone has a gun and everyone is dps. Where do you really think the abilities are going to make or break a raid?? LOL

    • Seems to me that the hunters special does the most single point damage and can hit fast moving floating targets. But I guess that won't matter in a raid that no one knows anything about yet.

          • I think hunters are still pretty balanced. We may not be able to take out as many enemies at once like Titans and Warlocks, however, we still have a super powerful gun that deals tons of damage. Look at like this, lets say you're raiding and you happen to be the only hunter. The titans and warlocks are doing a ton of damage to a lot of enemies with their specials, but then a stronger leveled enemy comes along, for example say, a hallowed wizard thats a couple levels higher than you are. You pull out your golden gun, and kill that high threat enemy, or at least do a ton of damage to it way more quickly than any of the other classes could have. Hunters' special has range and a ton of power. We'll be alright.

          • The Hunter, a wild card. Able to shoot through multiple opponents at long range. I am glad I chose this class :)

          • I'm a Hunter too, I was and choose to stay , it's all about skill, go to a Street Fighter tournament and watch people kick ass w Dan and nobody will say anything. It happens . I love being a Hunter but my Clanmates can also testify I ran jumped on top of the Devil Walker shot it's "head" and stabbed it for the hell of it. Then sat there until it exploded. It's all good.

          • I don't know about PvE, but Hunters were definitely the best for PvP. When 9 out of the top 10 players were hunters that is more than just a coincidence.

          • None of the classes are useless, but I don't think any of the classes are really going to be necessary for the PVE groupings. 3 hunters, 2 warlocks and a titan, 1 of each, whatever. You'll be fine.

          • I still dont see Hunters being top dps. A titan striker could do just as much damage as a burner.

          • A Hunter just needs more meat. The Hunter class itself is supposed to be a single-target, high DPS killing machine, but it needs the buffs of a Titan-Defender w/weapons of Light and the shield to give it higher damage and survivability in the raids. I'm not counting the Hunters out, but you guys can't make it on your own, gotta mix it up.

            • See people on here saying a hunter can't hang on it's one when in fact I think it's all on playstyle. I went down a ton as a Titan or warlock but when I was a hunter I was unstoppable. In strikes we'd go all hunter and have no problem. It's all based on how you like to play. I prefer speed and I feel hunter has that. Those other jumps just get me killed but that's not saying they are bad, just not for my playstyle.

                Hunters will get their proper respect when people see how blade dancer works. I've seen a sneak peek and it's AMAZING

              • Voidwalker and striker are (generally speaking) superior DPS to the hunter considering their AoE abilities, not to mention that the Voidwalker can also apply some brutal DoT abilities with his 'nades and super. I can see hunters being useful for DPS against single targets like bosses though. Anyone who says they're entirely useless is wrong. I'm thinking most raid groups will consist of (although this is liable to change raid-to-raid): 2 Voidwalkers, 1 striker, 1 Sunsinger, 1 defender, and 1 hunter.

                • We have no evidence of a 3rd sub class and don't think "because there is an empty 3rd slot" doesn't make it count. Deej said everything we've seen so far is in the final version. We've seen 2 subclasses, so for now focus on the gunslinger and the bladedancer. Also i too, am a hunter and im not worried in the slightest about raiding. Personally i think i'll excell in it, espacially if the other classes play support.

                      • Maybe in your raids, perhaps in others. I for one...don't favor classes, I prefer the person behind the sticks. I'll take my clan on the raids, regardless of which class/subclass/miniclass/over class/ night class whatever they choose. Why? Because I know my people and they know their character. And we'll complete the raid. Or not. Either way, we'll do it on our own merits, not because who played what.

                      • I always did the strike with a titan and a Warlock. Guess who was always on revive duty? [spoiler]Answer: me. Those other two dropped like rocks.[/spoiler]

                          Shunning? I'm meeting them with opened arms really. I like having a balanced party titan, Warlock and a Hunter.
