Are Hunters the weakest class for crucible?

After many crucible matches with my hunter I've come to wonder if maybe Hunters are simply not meant to be dominate in crucible. I'm just here to hear others opinion on this subject.

  • No one class should dominate the others in a pvp setting, the player should.

  • The Hunter class is good in crucible if you use it right. Just by looking at the upgrades and subclasses you can tell the Hunter is not meant for rushing into Titan bubbles with a shotgun. If you want a good game play tactical if you are a Hunter, use some type of sniper rifle and pretty much any mid to long range weapon like a scout rifle.

  • Just depends on how you use it. Everything is situational, like a slightly more complex version of rock paper scissors. There is no class that's instant easy mode, people just need to get over themselves and realize everything in the game isn't tailored specifically for them and there are many players better than them and many worse. Just try to have fun.

  • They have the weakest armor and no class has an overshield like titans or warlocks. We do though have invinsability which is still detectable when you sprint. I main a hunter but i wreck with my warlock although i have alot less experience with it and im working on my third class item for the warlock. I havnt done too much on my titan yet but will when i go for his class items. Im pretty decent on my titan but i feel the titan has the most armor.

  • Hunters are easy-modo for PvP, especially Bladedancers.

  • Hunters do dominate in crucible! How come all the mlg guys use hunters? Because it's easy mode! In general people that have three different characters, the hunter will have a slightly higher kd than the other two. Not always the case but for the most!

    • So basically I should stop running nightstalker in pvp? I've seen a lot of people say that's the worst class for PvP but that's all I run. Opinions

      • Um...gunslinger is the most op pvp class ever made. Monte Carlo and max discipline/intellect = nearly unlimited throwing knives, tripmines and 3-5 golden guns per match, depending in kills and other variables. Try it.

          • Weakest supers in general, my opinion. But our passive perks are ridiculous. I main hunter and I enjoy the perk combinations on all three subclasses. Honestly I have always loved gunslinger. The first time I saw one pop I was like "yep that's what I want to do". Golden gun+tripmine+throwing knife is amazing for chaining multi kills. I usually run with 2 tripmines...which are amazing once you understand how to use them both offensively and defensively.

            • I don't know that can be a serious question, my friend. Blink/skip grenade/quickdraw (Which is deadly in itself) the mobility and evasive ability of a blade dancer or nightstalker is insane. Backstab, which front stabs 7/10 times, the wombo combo, invis for 2 subclasses, 3 with some gauntlets. Bladedancer which is just as lethal, and 10× more agile/evasive as stormtrance and hammers. Shadowshot, which is ridiculous. Cancels supers, with a slight delay time, one shots everything without some armor buff. You can either KEEP MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN ONE SPOT FOR 10 SECONDS, shit out tons of orbs, or can be used as an armored somewhat inaccurate golden gun that leaves enemies suppressed for a short time if it doesn't kill. (You gotta think, nightstalker is supposed to be the support class/super, tether heavy, or a zone, or any point of interest for 2 or more people with black hole, produces excellent results. It's a hell of a lot more efficient if you have your team mates there backing you up, for quick, easy, clean kills. That benifits your teammates by generating alot of orbs, amd pretty much chain supers. A good tether should generate enough orbs for half of your team mates super bar, which I have seen turn the tide in a game) Or gunslinger, which is straight overpowered if used right. Not meant to be the kind of "assassin" like the other 2 classes, more of a 'I come, I f*ck $h!t up, I leave' kind of deal. Tripmines, which is arguably the best/one of the best grenades in the game, pair that with the young ahamkara gauntlets = one man wrecking crew. + double throwing knives which leaves you at absolute one shot, a piece, and a super that gives absolutely no shits. (Which I might add, is incredibly easy to hit with) Everybody dies with golden gun. Every thing dies, besides maybe a striker titan mid FoH, with unstoppable, and is still at full health + shield. Maybe year 1 sunsinger ram melee overshield. But those are too many things having to be stacked at the perfect time, to be able to play much of a factor. Any gunslinger with somewhat good gunplay, that is familiar with their abilities, is automatically a tough opponent. Hell, too many get out of jail free cards if you ask me lol if you play a hunter, as a hunter and still do bad, then it's down to operator error

              • I think it's the exact opposite. The class is designed to kill other guardians. Golden gun wrecks in PvP, SUCKS in PvE. Blade Dancer wrecks in PvP, is OK in PvE for reviving dead teamates. Shadowshot is great in PvE, not great in PvP, although used by an expert hunter, can be quite the support class. Maybe it's the nerfs catching up to Hunters, but year 1, it was common to see 6 hunters on a fireteam and they were almost unbeatable.

                • For the people being rude in this post, mature up please. Unless you're a child, then your actions are excused because you're supposed to behave like a child. For the people saying "scrub" I'm definitely not one of the best players in Destiny, but I'm also no scrub. For the people who gave a respectable opinion, I appreciate your maturity and input. And for the people who are losing their mind because "I can't believe you put something so stupid up" I have already apologized for my ignorance, i was not aware of the stats For hunters. I am now. Seriously people, we gotta do better as a community.

                  • IMO, hunters were designed just for the crucible. They are quick and agile, the golden gun and blade dancer only shine in PvP. Nightstalker tether can kill an active super and the wombo combo is amazing. Pair up radiant dance machines and Mida Multitool, you can spray shots while running.
