Hunters DESPERATELY Need a Buff

It's come to my attention through copious hours of game play that at this point, hunters are the defacto weakest class. I made a post prior to this but I'll say it again, after playing pvp and pve more and more over the past couple weeks. Here are some of my thoughts on what needs to be buffed, just in general: Pretty much everything. But in all seriousness, these things in particular: Roaming super aoe: Compared to the other supers, like hammers, nova warp, lightning call, hunters are lackluster. Arcstrider is alright, but it has no range. Even the r1, r2 combo only has the range of a shotgun, and there's no aoe besides the slam, which if you're jumping in the air around enough people to warrant one, you're going to get melted. Unlike the striker who can slam while still in the ground, preventing said issue. Golden gun is alright, but the killing potential is very limited in pvp compared to the other class's roaming supers. Wraith is alright, but even then it's very easy to see, so when you go to use it in a circumstance where there's enough guardians gathered to warrant it, it's very easy just to die trying. Grenades: There are very little, if not any grenades that actually kill on their own. I've been killed by many warlock and titan grenades, but just today I walked through a trip mine grenade knowing I'd be just fine afterwards, and I walked away with but a scratch. Meanwhile, lightning grenades continue to rain down, solar grenades from warlocks block off entire hallways, and yet if I see a hunter throw a void grenade, I can still easily go around it. And finally, melee: The hunter melees are not bad, but they could still use help. With warlocks and titans getting more and more melee abilities, hunters have very little viable melees to counter them. Hunters received a buff to a throwing knife, but besides that they haven't gotten much. Now, on my last post, many people commented that hunters are fast. Speed does not make a class. Speed is good for certain select things, but when warlocks are able to use super energy to create a perfect shotgun counter, speed doesn't matter quiet as much. Mind you, I love stompeez. I find them to be a ton of fun. They still do not make up for what hunters lack. Hunters in general do not need a massive buff, but slight buffs to bring them up to par. For the time being, I'm going to going back to titan like I did in D1 when taken king came out, and hammer of sol was literally everything you'd ever want in a class. Please leave a comment about what you think. Try to be peaceful, unlike the prior post where I was just told that I'm *adjusts glasses to read notes* an 'obvious waste of air'. Happy hunting!
