For the millionth time nerf strand hunter/threadlings

Do I even have to explain? Fine I’ll explain. Trust me no one abuses this build more than me but it’s been so played out for months now. Threaded spectre has too many good things going for it. The fact that its a radar ping, aim assit black hole, quasi titan barricade, does crazy damage when it detonates and spawns two threadlings just for dodging which refreshes in less than a minute makes it way too op. Threadlings have some of the crazy travking ive ever seen. Additionally, I think they do way too much damage for how easy it is to create them and how far and well they can follow you. This with the fact that hunter’s can have 2 threadling nades, and 2 dodges makes it hell to play against, especially in trials.

  • Threaded spectre is what needs the nerf. All of strand hunter doesn't need to be hit. Threadlings need a bigger hit box, but that's it. The spectre skill is the real a-hole in the situation. Break it if you have to, but it's the problem. -a hunter main.

    • Hunters have so many other subclass options in this sandbox that its a wonder that they feel they have to "crutch" on threaded specter. Can probably thank Titan mains for all these wonderful options. Have you used golden gun lately or thrown blade barrage at three people and only hit one?

      So it should be nerfed because it's effective ? This is why we end up with boring mediocre weapons and abilities Nerfherders are killing this game

    • Okay so you can’t win with silk but it’s OP. Running triple freeze lock didn’t work either I see. Stick with the lock dude. Stand hunter isn’t the answer it’s just the only viable option left for hunter.

      • Thank you for admitting you use and abuse this because I play you on a regular basis and I wish you would get hit by a train every single time

      • Our threaded specters really shouldn’t make threadlings.

      • Not explaining what exactly you don’t like about threadlings would be very helpful because every person has had unique interactions with them. For some reason threadlings are immune to damage from sources like tangles and Khepris Horn Solar Ground Follow. Inconsistent interactions make for unenjoyable encounters. That being said, what exactly irks you about threadlings and what would you do to fix them?

        • Nerf conditional finality first. If you want the best shotgun counter in the game nerfed then the most busted shotgun should be as well

        • You think OP knows that they are, in fact, nerfing threadlings?

          The only reason why everyone is rocking Threaded Specter with Bombardiers is because it's the perfect counter to shotgun rushing. Yes, most Hunters in trials are running Threaded Specter with Bombardiers, Gemimi Jester or even something as simple as Sixth Coyote. That is only because most Titans, Warlocks and even Hunters themselves are running shotgun rushing builds. As soon as you switch to a sniper build or even one of those double primary builds that Bungie is trying to force down our throats, you see that threadlings are extremely easy to counter. I have 2 builds with my Hunter. Threaded Specter with Bombardier and Conditional Finality and Grapple with Eye of Sol and Cyrtarachne's Facade. At the start of the match if I see double primaries and snipers I use the Grapple build since I usually get rolled over trying to make Threaded Specter work at a distance. If I see Shotguns and Fusion rifles I use Threaded Spected since it forces people to think twice before sliding around corners. Just get used to fighting at a distance and you'll see how trivial it is to fight Specter Hunters.

        • They only hot fix nerf it's a warlock. They'll take 6 months for a titan and over a year to even consider nerfing hunters
