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.

2 RepliesAs the hunter in my fireteam, i had the most kills, died the least, and I revived the most teammates. Consistently. Don't believe class determines how you play the game or how well you do.

2 RepliesThis will be hunter x hunter

I dunno man.. Then again, they aren't the heavy attack character. Or a healer. That's the two things people want to raid with in games. I feel the Hunter is more specialised at envirometally just runing around lol. By no means weak, just... Not the heavy attack.

Hunters will be fine.

You haven't seen a level 20 hunter yet though..... (spoiler)

Luke Smith encouraged that there was no "specified" roles in raids. Everyone shoots stuff. You can have support kits but you have to remember that most of them exist only when a super is active.
-
That's my same play-style, first of all, so cheers. Second of all, I completely agree with you. All classes are great in their respective ways.

From what I know of the game, the only thing hunters will be SLIGHTLY worse at is aoe damage. Let's face it, even at the most opportune times, you probably won't hit more than 5 enemies in PVE with a piercing golden gun over all three shots, whereas a titan smash or warlock energy ball, when well placed, could hit like 7+ enemies, depending on the situation. However, as has been said, you don't charge your super all that fast, so the classes come down to a matter of perks. Do you want toughness and whatever else a titan has? Then be a titan. Want to sling a ball of goo once in awhile? Go warlock. Want to throw knives, or blink strike everyone to death, with the occasional big gun or lightning knife, and just generally be badass? Then be the ultimate class: Hunter :P

Anyone who goes into a raid with out a dps is a moron

2 RepliesI'd rather have the potential to do max damage with the Titan and Warlock super to several enemies simultaneously over having to fire all three rounds in to one enemy just to get that damage out of the Hunter. We will just have to see how it works out.
-
Why would some one start screwing a hunter in the middle of a raid? #Dudumdumtshhh
-
To me you'd want two of each class in a RP both with different subs and the killing machines will be determined by enemies as some classes will be better than others for killing certain enemies. They will then rotate based on the enemies and the situation

Edited by Eternity: 8/10/2014 1:04:32 AMHave you actually been listening to anything Bungie has ever said about the 3 classes? Your supers can only be used once every few minutes (as opposed to a traditional MMO, where you would be using multiple unique class skills every second). They are more like 'perks' than actual skills which will allow you a specialist role in a raid. All classes are DPS, there are no tanks or healers. Being able to put up a bubble shield for a few seconds every 4 minutes is not fulfilling the role of a tank.
-
Yes dps is very important, but in every mmo there is always the greatest abundance of dps classes. So first a group is going to get the classes that are a must for the win, and then easily pick up a couple of the dps classes that are begging for a group.

9 RepliesBladedancer's super is melee, try going into melee range of bosses in the first strike and see how that goes.
-
Where are you getting this info from? All classes will be welcomed into a raid, provided the PLAYER himself or herself is a team player. You are just assuming hunters will be ignored. The game isn't even out yet and your drawing conclusions based on the beta?
-
Lol where do u even get this
-
Yeah didn't like being paired with 2 Hunters in Raids...I remember being in an all Hunter raid team. Oh boy...haha

1 ReplyHow about who cares what class you are.. It's an fps, if you're good you'll play well. If you're bad, you play poorly. This is not like warcraft, classes won't mean dick in this game. 6 locks should be able to do as much as 6 titans or 6 hunters. Strategies may vary but if you're good at fps 's in general then what class you play won't matter

2 RepliesI hate to draw parallels. Anyone ever raid with a good rogue in wow?

Edited by Paladdin: 8/10/2014 12:19:21 AMIt will all work out, no worries. Boss' aren't to friendly with CQB so Titans specials would be best for crowd control on the adds that show up. And this is just my opinion from playing the alpha and beta so dont take offense its just what my observations were so nobody flip out lol. At least a hunter can attack from afar and focus his 3 shots right on the boss. Some Titans can pull it off though but I know I spent a lot of time running around reviving titans who got too close to the devil walker and got zapped by its AOE. When I was on my Titan I kept my super for the captains that would come out every so often. Don't worry though we just gotta wait and see how things go, but I highly doubt ppl are going to be rejected on raids because of the class they choose. A super is only a fraction of the damage each class can unleash.

7 RepliesI see no reason to have a hunter in your group, the only different between classes are thier supers, a warlock can do everything a hunter can do and even buff, but the good a hunter can do is its golden gun when arc does no damage void and solar will help
-
Imagine this. There's a boss, whose shield regenerates extremely fast, but is also very week against the Golden gun. Now imagine a bunch of week adds that come out in swarms. Titan and warlock handle the swarms with their supers, generating orbs of light for the hunter, the hunter generates orbs for the titans and warlocks when taking out the shield. Even with no support abilities, the hunter is vital for that boss.
