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.

    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.
