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.

  • People are too quick to judge before the game is out. Its only speculation who knows what the classes can do at full level. No one will knows what anyone can do til it happens...

  • I don't know what the fuss is about. There is no "holy trinity" of RPGs here. Each class is chosen because you want to play that class. You wanna be a hunter? Be a hunter. You want to worship the purple ball? Go right ahead. You want to implement the "holy trinity" into Destiny? You go ahead and do that. There's no matchmaking, so build your fire team however you like. Just saying that in regards to raids, a full team of 4 hunters and 2 others is better off than a team that's a man or two short because they are looking for a specific skill set... BTW raids reset weekly. As people before have also said, it's teamwork, player skill, and loot that brings the most potential to the raids and whatnot. Why else would players make class specific clans? Because they can and they want to. If your fire team doesn't appreciate you for who you are, then find a new team that will (btw that's also true for most cases IRL). Anyways, it's less about having the right/best class (there isn't one) and more about the "holy shit balls! That was freaking awesome!" moments that you'll have with your fire team.

  • Sunsinger is more of DPS. Defender is the only main support sub-class.

      • Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's going to be a third subclass. I thought there would be, but DeeJ said there's only be two in an update a few weeks ago. (I ain't got a link, find it ya self) Anyway, we've got what we've got, and that means no support subclass. However, that being said, the gunslinger is the [i]only[/i] high damage, single target super. It is probably the best non-support super for bosses. I wouldn't say no to a hunter in my raiding party, and I don't think others would, either. Hunters may have a reputation as being the worst class, but nobody's going to keep that impression once the game releases.

          There is an exotic chest piece that allows the hunter to revive and be revived faster. That coupled with the ability of turning invisible while crouching would make them excellent for running around and picking up fallen guardians. It all depends how the player sets his/her class up. Everyone can make a great team character or a selfish DPS model regardless of which class you choose. Time will tell.
