The wormhusk crown is a get out of jail free card for hunters, almost like d1 y1 blink. It is very clearly an over utilized exotic with no downsides, especially in the current meta.
This video explains a lot so I don’t need to put it in words: https://youtu.be/j0FFfWSwRGg
With the graviton meta it’s very difficult to get into a favorable engagement with anyone who uses wormhusk, making cornterplays to it very difficult. Many issues woth wormhusk would be solved by a graviton fix but it would still have issues otherwise
Simple fix: wormhusk crown regenerates health when dodge is activated, but doubles the cool down. Health regen temporarily stops when shot but continues regen for a small duration. Health regen speed is less than the current speed
Or instead of “nerfing” it like some people strongly disagreed to doing,
Buff the titan crest of alpha lupi to give full health each time you walk up to the wall (within reason) & When initially deploying it
“You’re just mad that you get outplayed by it”
Yeah it’s baby’s first outplay Helmet. It’s just too good with no downside.
“You don’t have a hunter so how would you know?”
I do. LtsMickeyMouse on Xbox. All 3 characters bud. Both games since year 1 day 1. I know my shit.
“But dodging is the hunters ability. You shouldn’t increase The cooldown time because it breaks immersion/game balance/etc”
But it really wouldn’t because you can heal yourself while reloading/recharging melee/going invisible
“Just shoot them to stop the regen”
1. They can dodge around corners
“So don’t engage them there, engage them out in the open or up close”
Can’t do that now because I can’t get within half a maps distance of them because they’re using graviton lance
Or
They intentionally play around corners so when you do get close it devolves into melee battles or chaotic hipfire battles that ends in a trade
2. You might have to reload
“So conserve your ammo”
Pretty easy to do that. Even if I do get that health cancelling shot off I’ll need to reload very soon after & they’ll still get away while I reload/switch weapons
“Then hit all your shots”
That’s like telling a soccer player to pass the ball. That’s just what you do but sometimes shots just miss. We’re not all Bakengangsta and all have 100% accuracy.
3. The regen is too fast
It doesn’t just regen health, it regen health and shields at the same time, so in the time you get one shot off, their health is near full but their shields are low
If it regenerated health THEN shields this wouldn’t be an issue and would require some basic thought to utilize it.
This isn’t even taking into account the buffs you get when using other subclasses while dodging
Better yet why not nerf it to be like the current crest of alpha Lupi, where it only restores a portion of health?
No. That’s a terrible idea

The Wormhusk crown is overrated,I would rather use the ST0MP-EE5 in the crucible.
-
Wormhusk is more overrated than the MW2 ACR, the Halo CE Magnum, and the Halo 2 Battle Rifle combined. The Regen is cancelled completely by 2 hits from close to every weapon in the game, chunk of health included. Said 2 shots are also able to be landed before the Dodge animation is over, save for some Hand Cannons, with said hand cannons more than cancelling the effect with just 1 bullet. And before you pull the "you defend it because you abuse it" card, I don't even equip Wormhusk nor do I even really play Hunter because I don't like Arcstrider's playstyle much, and the other 2 subclasses suck in my opinion. You have summoned me.

Or you could just shoot them that stops the healing perk
-
So use it then
-
Once the Crest gets the same treatment all the classes will have a similar Exotic. Wormhusk is annoying, but it’s super predictable. Once you see a Hunter with an ugly gold face, don’t chase them when they run away, or be prepared to stop the regen
-
Seems to work for me, dodge heal kill... yup it's working don't worry 😘
-
you do realize that when youre shot the health regen stops? lol

1 Replykarnstein would like a word with you i.e better than wormhusk

6 RepliesIt's not op get over it it doesn't restore chinks of health like devour or crest of alphalupi doesn't nullify damage like a shield it's a dodge that begins health regen that stops the moment any damage is taken. Get good quit depending on aim assist to get kills for you.
-
5 RepliesIt is not op. You just don't know how to win against it yet. And yeah I main a Hunter. Still haven't used it, and wont as I more important things to use for my exotic slot.

5 Replies"Wormhusk is too OP because I shoulda/coulda/woulda beat that Hunter, but then I didn't." I can't help but read posts like yours in a nasally, whiny tone. Wormhusk is annoying to play against, but posts calling for nerfs is even more annoying. Hunters have some good exotics. Nice, good for them. Stop asking for their moment to moment gameplay feel to be dulled down. -a warlock

I don’t use it but fight against it, it’s not op. Sound like you’re just getting outplayed
-
2 Repliesget you hunter high enough level to use it, then get back to us.
-
Don't drag blink into this.

1 ReplyNot overpowered, just a gigantic pain in the ass
-
It's not that bad IMO
-
1 ReplyEither it should do the same as the crest of Alpha Lupi or the Alpha Lupi should give you full health.

I don’t think it’s op and I’m not usin it. Hint: It’s because I’m using a warlock.
