tl;dr
In my opinion the new Arc Hunter isn't enjoyable to play for a very specific reason, the removal of Blink. I'm sure there's a reason why there was such a major change to that sub-class however personally I don't have any interest in playing my previous favorite. It's an un-fun choice in an otherwise very fun game.
The long version? In contrast to the other two sub-classes with their ranged supers, the Arc Hunter is a melee sub-class due to the mechanics of it's super.
Without Blink (found in the previous iteration of the Arc Hunter, the Blade Dancer), the difficulty in closing distance or evading/retreating is significantly higher.
Thematically it's also odd. Without Blink there isn't much to differentiate the Arc Hunter from the other sub-classes, especially compared to the previous iteration.
Honestly I don't know why the Blade Dancer was changed at all but I'm sure there was a reason. I'm hard pressed to understand why there's only one Blink jumper, my only guess being that it was a balancing issue.
Bottom line? It's not fun, and that's an unusual thing for me in D2 so I figured it's worth mentioning. Who knows, Bungee may even be listening. 😁👍
