Hunters need a buff

Yes!

130

No!

155

Just small tweaks

69

They should be nerfed

60

I feel like I’m having extreme trouble keeping up as a hunter in the current meta. It’s not necessarily a lack of aim, coordination, skill, etc. Simply the mechanics of the other classes far exceed that of a hunter currently. I’ve had countless occasions where warlocks and titans alike can simply jump backwards and escape hunter roaming supers and when it comes to the melee game, whenever I’ve attempted to do a melee fight of any kind I seem to not have the lunge distance or assist in the aim of it either. I’ve experienced countless times where I will melee and do the animation and not hit pretty often, yet they can melee me while this happens and ends up killing me. Some of these problems are also apparent in the lack of versatility in the exotics as well as abilities on our supers. The throwing knife at this point is the only viable melee option I have seen. Void struggles with the smoke bomb not performing even nearly as well as any other special melee ability in the game. And the disorientation and range of the arc super staff is also having extravagant problems with hit registration as I’ve hit people running away and yet there is no damage displayed. A ton of these issues could be personal thought but I want to create a poll and would love to see what the rest of the community thinks and see if it could just be me. *Edit* I feel like the input has definitely helped give me an idea of some things to try but I still feel like there could be some small changes that would really help the void class struggle less than it does. As for reference this is regarding console play by the way. I genuinely love my class as a D1 vet but I could really use some things in D1 personally to come back and gain traction again. I think overall some fixes definitely need to be made and small buffs here and there but nothing completely broken. As far as that goes if anyone is willing to help me improve and be better at my class on psn feel free to add me or DM me here on the app and I’d love all the feedback.

  • Look at me im a warlock i can throw a hundred purple balls that pulverize you and i also have a healing rift and i also have a melee that can make you explode and my melee range is 100. And i dont need exotic armor to do all this. Look at me im a titan i can shoulder charge you and its a one hit kill and i can also summon a wall that protects me and damages you if you get close and my melee is broken too. Hunter: Mask of Bakris and shotgun, if u dont want to then... time your non one hit melee or your non one hit knife that got nerfed, oh you also gottabe super precise with those abilities, good luck with your cheap grenades that dont track pulverize rape and explode, also you’ll realize just how bad your dodge is without mask of brakris and how futile it is against a buffing rift and a magic wall and shoulder charge and broken melee and flying purple grenades. Also being invisible is harder now and you cant blink anymore. Also golden gun fades quicker, also nightstalker bow takes forever to tether. The list goes on... When hunter was actually good... RIP DESTINY 1

      Hunters have the best neutral game in D2. They have a dodge with a very low cooldown, a double jump, great exotics to pick from and good melee speed. In exchange for this, their supers are generally trickier to use. This is how they are balanced. Buffing their supers starts to take away their weaknesses and push them over the edge. They don't need improvements. Seriously.

              • Is that why when I watch Trials on Twitch the matches tend to consist of 5 hunters and 1 Titan or 5 hunters and 1 warlock ...hmm. Hunters must be bad😆

                • My only beef with hunters is the super melee range (particularly arc staff, but sometimes nightstalker mid tree) and the double smoke/grenade action. Nobody else can chuck 2 offensive ranged weapons (1 being a total movement suppressor) and charge the enemy for an easy finish

                  • 100% you need to just git gud. I have like 3000 hrs playing just warlock, I run trials often and get to 5 wins most times and it's a struggle. I have 200 hrs total (mainly used during factions rallies) of hunter use since the release of D2 and hit 5 wins in trials with not as much of a struggle last weekend first try. Hunters are totally fine where they're at.

                        • Dodge cooldown just annoys me. With wormhusk and invis sometimes they’re impossible to kill.

                        • So you want the most agile, mobile supered class to get buffed? You're kidding, right? 90% of deaths by super, at least in my case, come from hunters. Invis, smoke nade, running the length of the map pretty much when super is active. I get that this is mostly counterable but buffed? No. If you can't adapt to the current meta with your hunter either a, switch to another class or b, wait for the next meta which I've no doubt will favour your hunter capabilities.

                          • The ONLY buff I would give these mfs is, if you have a charged melee you use that instead of using your regular while being close to an enemy.

                            • Fix the issue where shadowshot fires to the right of where your reticle is pointed. Otherwise everything else is fine.

                                • I really don’t think they are underpowered. I think Titan is the best class through the amount of S tier supers they have and some top tier exotics to pair with any super. Hunter isn’t bad or under performing I don’t think. Warlocks should get the buff first they only have 1 competetive subclass imo and that’s top dawn

                                  • As a hunter main i call satire. But since I'm here. All melee based supers need hit registration buffs as well as swords. At least on console. Not wraith. The duration of that super should be reduced. Fs.
