What would anyone bring a hunter to a raid?
So Warlocks have the self resurrection which is a free wipe save, and the grenade refreshing super that synergizes well with a titan bubble.
Titan's have the bubble, which is arguably the most useful super of all in a boss fight.
Hunters get a super that amounts to a sniper clip, or bladedancing which will just get you killed in a boss fight. Oh, and some throwing knives.
Why would anyone bring a hunter to a raid?
EDIT: so yes, we've established Bladedancer is useful, I'm leveling it up now (I didn't play it before). Ya'll can't stop posting the exact same thing instead of actually reading the comments from others in the thread.
I'm still not convinced the Gunslinger isn't useless, except maybe on the last fight in the raid, from what I've seen in streams.
Also, if it wasn't clear by my profile: I AM A HUNTER (GUNSLINGER). I was asking to potentially provoke discussion/shed light on class balance issues, not crap on players of the class. Stop getting butthurt, you don't work at Bungie and you didn't help design the class, criticism towards the class itself is not leveled at you.

I'm in the midst of testing the specifics of this, my throwing knives are set to deal the solar damage. And thats why I believe golden gun also one shots the,m. Oracles (i think) are weak to solar. What i'm trying to test is to see if they are just weak to throwing knives in general, or if its only when they cause the flame damage overtime. if that is the case and they get one shotted by throwing knives in general, then holy hell, knife juggler will decimate all!!!! If throwing knives in general one shot oracles and you have on knife juggler, when you get teleported, essentially you can go in the portal and kill all the oracles one after the other without shooting a single shot from any gun!!!! I am hoping this is the case, that oracles are weak to knives in general, and not just weak to throwing knives when they make enemies take solar damage. If anyone could test this it would be awesome!!!! Heres to hoping i can knife juggle my way through the portals no problem at all, but even then, if it is only when the knives use the solar damage perk,it's still incredibly useful, you are killing oracles no problem with an atheons epilogue, or what ever auto rifle you are using, you run out of ammo, use a throwing knife....onto the next oracle :)
