Hunter supers useless in new arena mode?
Ok just hear me out. I have all three characters and do enjoy them all. So this isn't a hate post about hunters.
Let's be real for a minute. If this is going to be some horde mode with endless waves of enemies then what do hunters bring to the table that can help defend in a team work style game play
Warlocks:
- nova bomb will clear out huge packs of enemies especially equipped with obsidian mind. Endless nova bombs will be a huge factor
- Raidiance can play a big roll in this considering we could see a lot of death when we get into high waves. Being able to come back to life and pick up other down teammates to save the game could be huge. Not to mention endless grenades to clear out huge groups
Titans:
- Ward of Dawn can play a huge part in this. Especially paired with helm of saint 14. It's a big team oriented super then can benefit everyone and keep the fight going with blessing and more damage with weapons
- fist of havic can be key when taking out a big group on your ass or clearing out those bosses that we just can't take down at the moment
hunter:
- blade dance could be effective but in the end it really doesn't do much when you have too many enemies grouped and doesn't make a lot of orbs to help your teammates get there supers back. Going invisible could help a lot but thats about the only thing I see be useful. Hunters don't have much armor to begin with so this is what worries me.
- golden gun in my opinion could be the least effective super in this mode. Yes It can take out some bosses quick if need be but the fact that you only get 3-4 shots doesn't seem to me like it would be as much use in the team based mode where everyone needs to support each other. Only thing I see being useful is that fact that they can create quick orbs for everyone when it's needed
Please give me your opinion id love to hear it!

Don't matter cos hunters are the most skilled players

Hunter stealth rezz with chest of alpha lupi or don't touch me gauntlets.

5 RepliesIt's like you've never played the game. Gunslinger with Achylophage, Keyhole, and Combustion has outstanding AoE potential. Bladedancer with 3rd Man and Hungering Blade (and the AoE or Line attack) rips through packs of mobs, even spread out enemies, like a hot knife through butter. Unless they are a lot of yellow-bar enemies, in which case Nova or Fist of Panic isn't one shotting them either. I really feel like you've never played the game as a Hunter if you don't know these things...

Do you even agility? Do you even spam showstopper? Do you even combustion?

2 RepliesEdited by Zoop: 4/15/2015 11:14:56 PMNot sure if you know what you are talking about. Not to mention getting ahead of yourself. You cant know yet what it will be like, or if its even remotely like a horde mode. None of the supers are effective against bosses. Hunter can easily clear out mobs as bladedancer, the shockeave? Or showstopper? With encore im the one that clears the most mobs on the omnigul strike with a hunter. Golden gun with penetration or explosions can take out large groups accurately and at range. Also can take out different groups surrounding the player (no super can do this, bladedancer (if lucky) is the only one that come close). And i main a titan. So its not like im hunter master race or something. The only thing i can agree on, is the orbs. Even if taking out large groups, hunters simply generate too few orbs.

I think, give golden gun a burn affect just like thorn but 10x more damage after you shoot an enemy so it actually damages bosses
-
IDK. Maybe going invisible will help out once in a while. Though, either way, I can use any class. So, who cares?
-
Bladedancer inside bubble throwing waves of energy to clear mobs.
-
You just have to use the firefly golden gun and it kills everything. Esp in crucible. I love everyone's Bunched up around heavy and I kill 4 people with 1 shot
-
Perhaps we should wait until we know what it is before we "analyze" the effectiveness of each class.
-
Im going in as my hunter. o.e"
-
Sadly I will have to agree. Golden gun is basically useless against majors and arc blade is even worse... Makes me sad I love my hunter

1 ReplyIT NEVER SAYS ITS GOING TO BE A HORDE MODE, JESUS PEOPLE!!!!

My question is, where has bungie stated anywhere that this is gonna be a horde mode? Everybody has just kind of assumed that. My personal theory is that, and this is just a guess on what this thing is gonna be, is that we know the prison of elders, which this new activity is gonna be called, is a prison on the reef where all the worst bad guys in the solar system are locked up, this is stated in the house of wolves content thread by urk, notice how it says solar system, so we might not just be fighting fallen, the prison of elders is also mentioned in the winters run strike, as that is the prison they broke aksor out of, so my personal theory is that every weekly reset we'll be thrown in an arena with a different prisoner from the prison of elders, and it'll be like a mini Atheon or Crota fight, where there is a certain strategy to defeating each different boss, this will promote replayability and problem solving and also make the weekly grind more interesting than running the same raid every week, notice how bungie also stated that it will take place in an arena, so I think they started out making a raid but decided to take a different path, and personally I'm really excited to see what this new game mode is like, but anyway, feel free to leave your thoughts on this theory or your own personal theory on what this new game mode is gonna be in the comment section below, peace out guardians

1 ReplyHunters are useless. Period.

Bladedancer, use helm for less super use per swing plus the gain additional super on kill, infinite bladedancing mob clearer. GG, Symbiote helm + keyhole + combustion = explosive railgun group clearer. Hunter is more of a support/focused fire class. Also Bladedancer invisibility for revives.
-
You people don't even know what the -blam!- is going on with the Arena so why even waste time with this pointless speculation??
-
I thought it was confirmed that we'll get new subclasses with HoW?

Edited by Rob the Thrall: 4/16/2015 1:20:39 AMGolden gun. They will prob make a shield we will be able to pop like titan's bubble.
-
All three characters will be useful in this horde mode, combined all supers to survives the waves, titan with bubble and San 14, warlock with nova bomb and obsidian mind/self res, and hunter with blade dancer.
-
Bladedancer with mask of the third man, encore, and razors edge=endless bladedancing as long as you're killing things and golden gun+combustion and keyhole means a lot of collateral damage from the explosions.
-
Bladedancer can do alot to groups if you use the trigger for a destrictive wave on the ground
-
There's a perk where every super kill extends blade dance so you could sit there with almost endless super also golden gun with combustion takes out mobs.
-
-
GG would be kinda useful if you put combust on
-
Blade Dancer can be activated and clear out hordes of enemies while the rest of the team recharges their supers from the orbs. Golden Gun with Aclyophage Simbiote and explosive(I forget what it's called) can take out large packs of enemies.
