Why do hunter exotics suck so much? (PvE)

They're fine. Stop bitching.

I agree, they suck.

Why do hunters get the short end of the stick when it comes to exotic armor? As is, there are really only 4 useful exotics for hunters. Symbiote is good, but golden gun sucks for anything other than PvP. Third Man can be useful, but again, only really useful in PvP. Don't Touch Me is entirely situational, and in most instances, you should never be within melee range of enemies, particularly as a hunter. The Alpha Lupi is great, but every class has one. Now, let's switch gears. [b]Titans[/b] Ruin wings are arguably the best exotic in the game, giving you basically infinite heavy ammo. Saint-14 has so many uses. Holding off important points like confluxes, sync plates; Singlehandedly taking an objective in PvP. The list goes on. They've also got the Armamentarium, which gives you a bonus grenade (Hunters can never do this, although they also have shit grenades). [b]Warlocks[/b] Obsidian mind is probably the best exotic in the game. Infinite Nova Bombs, infinite orbs for teammates. Permanent supers for you [i]and[/i] your team is pretty nuts. HoPF is also amazing. The benefit that it gives to Radiance is so much more than what either of the Hunter helms do, it's ridiculous. Claws of Ahamkara are also really good. [b]Point[/b] While looking at the armor for the upcoming DLC, I can't help but notice that again, the exotics for hunters generally suck. Unremarkable Bones could be good, but that entirely depends on how it stacks with triple jump/boosted double jump. The point I'm getting at is that hunters really don't have any game changers at all now, or apparently any time in the future, unlike both of the other classes. I mean come on, the "ExoTac Angel Hunter" - bonus accuracy immediately after jumping. What the -blam!- is that useful for? [b]Edit[/b] A common theme I'm seeing is that they all have uses in PvP. That's great and all, but shouldn't there be some that focus on PvE as well? Not all of us like PvP (I do), and the fact that almost everything is tailored to it is a bit disappointing.

  • The angel helm? Going to make blink shotgun guys much more deadly. The gloves coming seem awful though. Unsure about the legs. But don't touch me's are great in pve. Most commonly used in crotas end. But is really useful for solo play or if you run blade dancer for pve. Radiant dance machines are great for those who play mid game. Not as useful for pve tho. But both symbiote and third man are the best exotics hunters will probably ever have (barring we get new sub classes ofc) and work well in both pvp and pve.
