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.

Please. You too early to count the chicken before they hatch! Stop

When I get up to raiding I will welcome all that want to Raid. Every class needs raid won gear.

I tried all 3 classes and see no reason why hunters wouldn't be included in a raid. If they can help take the enemy down and revive fallen comrades, then that's all that matters with classes in a raid. It's not going to be anywhere near as hardcore as an mmorpg. Just know what you're all doing and give it your all ;-)

2 RepliesTitans are the most durable and therefore the best choice to be in the thick of things. I think that's why people think titans are best at melee.

Good thing that there is no MM then as I would always get kicked out apparently.
-
a good hunter will be very valuable to a raid team

1 ReplyEdited by winddtn: 8/9/2014 9:56:52 PMYou forget that Raids aren't matchmade, you can only do it with your friends... why wouldn't they let you play as a hunter if you enjoy that? are they even your friends ? and if you are a 'lone wolf', and dont really have frineds, you can always join a clan and get to know some fun people... comon, it isnt that hard, we, the last hope of Humanity, , can always welcome another precious teammate :D

2 RepliesAnother person mistaking this game for an mmorpg. Its an fps, all that really matters is your skill at shooting and throwing grenades.

I was usually the infiltrator with a sniper rifle in ME3 co-op. I specifically targeted powerful targets like the Atlus, Banshee, and Praetorian. I'd likely have a similar role of dealing with the deadlier enemies in a group. I'm betting the 3rd subclass will be stealth and/or sniper rifle related.

1 ReplyI'm sure in the full game every class will have their own roles in raids.
-
Lucky Hunters, I did not even know they added that emote... Schwing...
-
5 RepliesI don't know what idiots you've been taking to but I plan to take good players into raids, regardless of their class. Anyone who thinks there's some broad, general things that make any specific class incapable of completing raids or adding anything productive to raids is a complete moron.
-
People excluding Hunters for raids are going to be lacking a primary offensive force... Bladedancer will clear out enemies easy, and gives good long range capabilities.

6 RepliesEdited by BootySweat1969: 8/9/2014 8:32:14 PMThe carebearness is strong with this one. I take it you have been playing MMOs way to long and riding that unicorn slaying dragons has failed you to realize all classes are DPS there is no holy trinity. So this post is pointless, climb back into bed with snuggles (wow, wild star, everquest, ESO, guild wars, etc) and calm down everything will be OK your fantasy land of being a badass AI computer slayer will be intact. Best thing you can do is put your carebear talents to is figuring out a way to make the respawn screen more enjoyable in the crucible since you spend an awful amount of time on there given your current kd.

Well hunters are actually going to have to be stealthy then. They will get killed easily if they run in the open as if they were a Titan. Now a full ten if hunters, forget it. They're done for. I'd day have every subclass for a raid
-
Thou art shunned!!!! Lol yea idk why people have hate for the hunter.
-
Who knows bladedancer could be really good
-
Edited by oISilverBackIo: 8/10/2014 1:26:15 AMHunters can deal out a lot of damage, and they're fast as hell. I'm using a Titan, but I can see hunters being extremely valuable in a raid. Not to mention a good player is what really matters not the class they choose.
-
With a good bladedancer build, you can stay invisible forever. That'll come in handy in situation where there's tons of weaker enemies fighting along side a few strong ones. Let thother dish out some damage to the stron ones, hunter goes in and stealthily takes out the weak enemies, and by then you can activate arc blade and finish off the strong guys. This is coming from a Warlock btw.
-
I don't mind having hunters in my Raiding group. If the developers created the Hunters they're useful. I don't see how one can exclude a class from a raid when one hasn't even played a raid yet. What happens when you need a Gunslinger or a Bladedancer. You're quite screwed if you only have Titans and Warlocks in your team. Plus those who say that Hunters don't contribute in groups, probably have hate for them because they just don't like them.
-
4 RepliesDon't worry friend DPS is very important and a precision killer in a game like this will probably be required in end game content . Never fear your hunter shall be needed. Luckily raids are 6 man teams so I see maybe 3 will support and 3 full DPS speced guardians will be needed in raids.

1 ReplyConsidering the raids in destiny doesn't consist of tanks,healers, and DPS like per the norm both subclasses of the hunter in my opinion will be good for crowd control and considering the hunters agility also for flanking but not knowing what the raids will be this is speculation
-
1 ReplyIf you play on 360 I'd be glad to have a hunter in my raid team
-
Edited by Aeirou: 8/10/2014 1:10:02 AMI already pegged hunters as the survivable dps and emergency revivers because of cloak. Anyone who says they're worthless after only seeing the first 8 levels is ignorant.
-
The Titan armor by far looks the best of the three classes. However, I think the Hunter will be my primary class for how I play and seems to provide the best DPS, though there isn't suppose to be a DPS class.

Why does everyone think that the subclasses that have the capability to help teammates more aren't DPS? Its a shooter. Everyone's first priority is shoot stuff. Everyone's primary skill is "gun." I don't care if you have a bubble shield or a massive arc knife; You have access to all the same guns and should be shooting things with them. Plus, the Sunsinger can build himself into a juggernaut with negligible cooldowns for both of his grenades (because he can have 2). If throwing grenades like a pitching machine isn't "DPS" then I don't know what is. The defender can augment his abilities such that he reloads "blindingly fast" and gets a damage buff for walking through his bubble. Once again, if that's not considered "DPS"... And if you think invisibility isn't going to be valued as a supportive function in raids then you really haven't thought it through. imagine a teammate goes down, He's in a bad place. No one can get to him safely. He's a sunsinger, but his super is down. Your titan defender ally doesn't have his bubble up to protect him while he tries to res the dead guy. as a bladedancer, you could just run in, slide into your dead teammate, go invisible because you're now crouched, then res your teammate with impunity. Alternately, activate arc blade, run in, wipe out the surrounding enemies in no time, then go invisible to to res your teammate so that the sniper can't see you while you do it. [spoiler]Also, there is no non-speculative evidence of a third subclass[/spoiler]
