TLDR: The choice of 2 100s between mobility, recovery, and resilience is not equal between the three classes, largely because mobility is weak by comparison.
Let's be real here. The best Titans and Warlocks pretty much ignore the mobility stat. It only affects initial jump height, walking speed, and strafe speed.
So if a Titan or Warlock wants to move quickly, low mobility it is. That way they spend less time in the air and more time bouncing off of geometry.
And while strafe speed is important, it is pretty soundly outclassed by 100 resilience and 100 recovery, because even at 30-40 mobility you're strafing fine. Titans and Warlocks value getting to key positions in the map, leveraging peeker advantage, AND being able to close/stretch gaps faster more than having max strafe speed. And you really can't blame them when you break it down like that.
So Titans and Warlocks can get all the flinch and health benefits of resilience, all the recovery bonuses, and their class ability cooldown to max without any real sacrifice.
Hunters don't have this luxury.
Now the last thing I'm gonna do is say "Buff Hunters." God knows that won't go well here. Instead, I suggest buffing mobility to give everyone a reason to consider it a good option.
Three options here:
1. Make mobility affect sprint speed, ability jump height (not just initial), and slide distance. Rework movement exotics that do similar things. (Not nerf them to the ground. Just rework them.)
2. Make mobility affect AE.
3. A combination of the two above options.
[spoiler]I personally like options 1 or 3, because I think the best movement potential should be a build; not just slap on exotic X and profit. Getting to important map positions first is of the utmost importance in certain game modes.[/spoiler]
With these changes, all three classes will have to make a hard choice and commit to it. Some sacrifices will be made between all three classes, rather than just Hunter.

Hunters already have the fastest ability charge and the dodge is the best ability. The dodge on the titan is not the same, it’s on 1 subclass and it doesn’t have added bonuses or tied into a bunch of exotics. The flinch doesn’t work at least on console. Can’t tell you how many times I start shooting first and yet my head is still taken off due to flinching to the head or worse probably cronos or xim. So currently resiliency does nothing but hunters also benefit from that so I don’t understand the gripe with buffering mobility, I still don’t have movement like hunters even at 100 mobility on titan
