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!

1 ReplyYou've never seen or played this new mode. Which means u know nothing about it. Which means this post and your thoughts mean nothing.

Golden gun slaughters mobs with keyhole and combustion. Invis is great for revives. Arc blade running encore with razor is a massacre machine especially if you have a Titan put up a blessing of light. The Titan Hunter super combo is extremely powerful.

Step 2: Equip encore and show stopper. step 3: Load up the Omnigul strike. step 4: Wait for thralls to spawn. step 5: kill a hundred enemies without losing your super and then come back on the forums and tell me how hunter sucks for horde mode.

1 ReplyIf u put combustion with golden gun and get 4 shots it really can act like mini nova bombs

I think popping golden gun for orbs will be pretty useful to an organized group
-
Listen, hunters should be picking up orbs, and trying to drop them, but they don't have to drop too many. The other 2 characters should be dropping orbs for the hunter, as long as the hunter properly uses their super. The hunter should be hunting, whether using blink strike and going behind the mob and popping arc blade show stopper or sniping the vandals with extended range golden gun.

When I use my hunter, I notice that it is not specifically designed for PvE. However, using "Combustion" on Golden Gun will give you a degree of crowd control. To be of most help to the team, be the orb-producer for the team. Wearing Crest of Alpha Lupi while dropping Orbs of Light and quick-rezing people is a crucial role for a three-man team. Don't fret about hunters being "useless". No class is ever useless - you just have to think outside the box and try a different approach to be an effective member of the team. PvP plays differently than PvE - changing strategies as needed should be expected if you are to truly master use of a class.

Against weaker enemies the super can be almost endless with mask of the third man and the perk where if you get a kill it gives you more super.. once the enemies have shields and yellow bars then it could become a problem
-
Large groups of weaker enemies are what hunters specialize in. Bladedancers can just go in, twirl once, and every thing is dust
-
Golden gun needs the shot limit removed again.
-
Golden Gun is the end all if used right. Gunslingers are the absolute best at taking down boss type enemies quickly. Not to mention you are looking at how people contribute all wrong.

the abilities for super shockwave i think

2 RepliesJust remove the words supers, in, new, arena, and mode from the title and it would be an accurate statement.

2 RepliesFatebringer will solve everything guardian :D

Golden gun can combo a TON of kills with key whole and the boom Boom thing. Bladedancer is okay.
-
You're a pathetic moron.
-
....combustion
-
Golden gun with combustion will take out hordes of enemies
-
Maybe it's just my play style, but I kill more enemies with my hunter than any other class.
-
Why don't we wait and see what exactly the arena has before jumping to conclusions. All the horde modes i have played usually has an end boss at the end of each wave. That might be where the hunter shines.
-
Wait to see gameplay before you jump to conclusions. They are revealing gameplay footage next week.

People seriously have to play more games, cause you're going crazy over no information making a completely uneducated assumption. If you had a larger library of games, youd be able to see that making the prison of elders like a rift makes the most sense
