Greetings from The Dubious, also known as My Dies Irae on Xbox One and Xbox360. This guide to become a lethal, yet successful Hunter indeed. I will show you the criteria necessary to know how to use a Hunter properly, and in the best and most advantageous ways. Now you guys may think all a Hunter is good for is revives while invisible and using the sword against Crota. No. Not even close to all the help a Hunter can be. Remember how in Call of Duty multiplayer there is always this one guy rushing around the map with a shotgun and going really positive with his K/D ratio? Well, thats what I will implement within a bit of this long and very thought through strategy. But before I go into detail with that, I will reveal to you my secret of how to be what I am now. Which is a very lethal Hunter. I thrive in both PvP and PvE. The basic, all around element to Thrive as a Hunter is to have an Agility build. Now many people say 'Agility doesn't do sh!t why would I even need agility? I may as well try and max out my armor and recovery so I can stay alive longer.' Thats not even CLOSE to what you should even need to use to be an effective Hunter. Its recovery AND agility. So having the highest agility is almost overpowered in PvE but can also be utilized well in PvP. If you want to keep driving it to ALMOST max, I suggest weapons with agility +2. Like MIDA multitool or Icebreaker. You will notice a DRASTIC difference in movement speed with MIDA especially. And I haven't had the luck to get Radiant dance shoes so maybe even with those, you'd be able to max out your agility so you move at least (literally) 2 feet on an flick of the analog stick. Crazy movement speed lets you literally run circles around any enemy (without some bs stomp attack) and dodge everything they got. And you can also win almost every melee duel in Crucible of you melee, bunny hop around a bit, and melee the enemy (again) with ease. So easy and fast and fun. Along with the highest agility possible, I highly suggest putting on maximum recovery along with i Another amazing strategy with the shotgun is bunny hopping with the better control double jump. This may disorient any enemy's line of fire. With agility, and bunny hopping in a close quarters or medium range area, just zigzag or run in lateral movements. Jump about but be fast and strike your opponents with aggressive speed and agility. In near death situations where you are outnumbered, your agility is your only hope at this point. Zigzag/bunny hop away into cover, wait at the edge, and then run out and surprise your enemy and take em out. They would think that you are gonna wait for them to turn a corner and shotgun you, which doesnt work in every case, but then they try and distance themselves far away but enough to see you and shoot at you from a far enough distance to not get shotgunned or melee dueled. Thats when you try and risk your life by counter rushing him and make him look like a fool and take him out. But if they are like 5 enemies, I'd say "f--- it" and retreat back towards your team or any safe distance. Other times if they like to use really OP weapons like Thorn or Invective, its kind of a gamble to do the counter rush strategy. So if you don't feel confident enough, just retreat away and regain health to try and challenge him a bit later. This build is especially for Blade Dancers. Is most effective for them because you get your own perks that benefit your movement speed and gives abilities where movement speed is essential for perks like blink strike and melee kills that help you run around with a shotgun destroying everything that even looks at you funny. But most importantly, is the mastery of the Hunter itself. This is THE most important step. You attain this by actually having to fall in love with throwing knives and Golden Gun. You most likely will doubt me though. Understandable because everyone thinks Hunters are good for revives only. They are so much more. Once you learn the destruction you can possess with a Gunslinger and the badassery of one such subclass, you can use any Hunter subclass with ease, ability, and skill. I personally invite you to check out my Hunters and their basic builds. The Hunter with the Dead Orbit card background. Any questions, suggestion, comments, or acknowledgement, go for it and comment. Profuse and/or inappropriate opposition or trolls, I will highly recommend not posting. Edit 1: Hey you guys thanks for considering this build. To the few who strongly oppose this and say that I shouldn't give "advice": This is not me giving advice. This is me telling the forums my build to see if they may wanna consider trying or interpret their own skills within it. A lot of this build also dips into one players dexterity with their hands and fast thinking. I also told you all how I personally acquired these skills.
