My take on Hunter exotic changes

These are my personal opinions, take them with a grain of salt. I will mention that I am a Hunter main so people can better understand my point of view. [b]Sealed Ahamkara Grasps[/b] Honestly the movement speed and jump height comes out of nowhere. I feel granting a bonus to strength would have been better. The powered melee bonus is definitely a good touch. [b]Athrys's Embrace[/b] Those that choose to spec into strength are kinda SOL with this change, but for those that don't it's gonna be pretty useful. Not a bad addition, but I still don't like weighted knife. [b]Oathkeeper[/b] The dev commentary clears everything up. This nerf makes PVP strats with this exotic alot more bearable on the other end of the shot. I also like the skill based style of the change. [b]Raiju's Harness[/b] It seems the in-game description alongside the nerf are conflicting. Does this just mean guarding now consumes energy normally? If so, it's not exactly unwelcome, as long as it sees a new exotic, but if not and it still doesn't conume energy, it's a bit confusing as to the actual change there is. The super deactivation buff is very welcome, but the weapon damage seems like a little much, since you are already getting super energy back and blinding folks. [b] Radiant Dance Machines[/b] This seems to pair well with Acrobat's dodge for a massive buff to class ability use with said dodge, seeing as the cooldown is 1:22 base, radiance will be even easier to maintain. Suspending Slam should have never been a class ability aspect, instead being a melee aspect like Quickfall, but I agree with the nerf to SS. [b]Stomp-EE5[/b] This was highly unwarranted. It's not the movement buffs people have issues with: it's the strafing. Mobility is very important in the crucible and the hunter jump style is a big help. The fact that Dunemarchers and Transversive Steps didn't get a similar nerf solidifies this argument. [b]Mask Of Bakris[/b] This one was always weird. I feel like the only real use anyone ever found was the damage buff when running stasis. This makes it even more apparent. I will say the non-stacking buffs should change to stack with certain abilities damage buffs (to an extent, primarily supers) like Well Of Radiance or Ward Of Dawn.

    [b]Sealed Ahamkara Grasps[/b] It's also a nerf, going from melee hit to melee kill [b]Athrys's Embrace[/b] Not necessarily, it could also be like "Eye of another World" so that the strength stat goes above 100 and givea more then T10 [b]Oathkeeper[/b] Let's see with Le Monarque, Leviathan Breath and Wish Ender [b]Raiju's Harness[/b] This consumes less Super Energy when blocking that is getting removed [b] Radiant Dance Machines[/b] Might be interesting with the new strand aspect [b]Stomp-EE5[/b] If I don't have a problem with it, I only use it for shatterskating anyway [b]Mask Of Bakris[/b] Could become a damage meta I mean the Exotic gives you an overall 50% damage buff next season
