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.

  • 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]
