Hunter abilities are broken in pvp

Dodge to slow targets Dodge to create a explosive thread spawning shadow clone Dodge near opponents to get a free melee charge Smoke bomb melee is really a proximity grenade that can trigger radar, slow and blacken the screen of anyone trapped in it allowing for a quick easy clean up kill. I think this needs to be looked into and balanced.

  • Literally. 90% of all players on pvp are hunters. It's all you encounter, swarm grenades, clone and smoke spams. It is aggravating af.

  • When something is the most used, at 44% usage, AND something has the highest win rate, at 55%, it is a problem. NERF PRISMATIC HUNTER. ITS BORING

    • No upvotes on your post which just proves 90% of players are hunter mains. They are continuing to downplay and victimize themselves. Hunters offended by everything ashamed of nothing.

      • When will people realize it’s not the individual strength of one ability… it’s the collective interaction, EASE OF USE, and constant uptime that’s the issue. Easy nerf that will go a long way to balancing hunters in crucible… GAMBLERS DODGE. They don’t even have to nerf it’s cooldown. Just change it to refund only a portion melee energy based on how many enemies are nearby… with a hard cap at 75% in PVP. Let it still refund the full charge in PvE with 3 enemies or more. That would decrease the spam by extending the loop on things like smokes and play more into strategic use of the abilities. ** Threaded Specter should also just add more time to dodge cooldown as a trade off for what it does to help with spam.** Done… finito… Prismatic Hunter spam is fixed without destroying PvE Prismatic Hunter play.

        • I’m a Hunter main that doesn’t play prismatic and I’ve stopped playing because the ability spamming is extremely annoying. I can’t enter any engagements without a smoke/clone/swarm grenade being involved and it’s extremely irritating because you’ll be destroying them in a gunfight after traversing a sea of smoke, clones and swarm grenades and when you think you’ve got them, here comes another smoke, clone and/or swarm grenade. I’m old school and sometimes use young ahamkara and the whole build is centered around this powerful tripmine with 100 discipline; I won’t get that mine back for at least 90 seconds even with a kill and fire sprite. How tf do they have multiple smoke/clone/swarm grenade every freaking round? It’s maddening. I hate the prismatic warlock with double lightning surge too because they stand back waiting for it to recharge but at least that’s all there is to it and it’s a blind move directed at nearby opponents. As cheesy as the lightning surge is, they don’t always have it. The meta id about matches saturated with prismatic hunters seemingly constantly throwing their stuff at you; it’s highly annoying and makes the game look stupid as f.

          • Your talking about and ability + exotic and/or aspect. I mean I could complain about how annoying it is titans can spam barricades that give overshields and shoot rockets. Or rifts which heal, launch threadling and chain lightning. Smoke bomb is also the weakest melee in game dealing 50 explosive damage plus 15 dot if you stay in the Smoke long enough.

              • And the fact that pretty much anything a titan does gives them an overshield or can fly all over the place with arc melee. Then you got warlocks that can also fly around and have turrets. Pissing and whining about how at this point in time the only thing hunters got going for them these days in PVP is status effects that literally last only 3 to 5 seconds because the dps part was nerfed into the ground.

                • PvP has become an abilities based activity. Every kill is via abilities or an opponent weakened by abilities. Hunters def got the easy mode abilities tho. Ngl. They know it.

                  • I would like to see the PvP team moved somewhere else. Everyone, they are incompetent. I’m not even sure how they got into game development.

                  • I’m garbage at PvP so I have to ask - why do you care when the developer doesn’t seem to. Vote with your time and find something else to play. I get that a lot of people have their identities wrapped up in the game, but if the developer doesn’t respect your time, don’t play their game.

                    • Will be down voted like every other legit thread, which calls out Hunter abilities. The profound problem is the low cooldowns hunters have. These need to increase by a good margin. Then they need to get rid of the aim assist break on Hunter Dodge and the wall hacks provided for hunters exclusively. Also evertime sth radar manipulating is on (smoke, clone, invis) hunters should lose radar for the entire time plus 5 seconds. Maybe knuckle head radar could shave these 5 seconds to 2 seconds, if it loses the ability for wall hacks.

                          Playing comp a couple days ago. I activate storms edge on a titan in his super. There's a hunter not even 3 feet away from him. I kill the titan but the hunter dodges and clone tanks the hit for him.

                          • Have you ever felt like [i]you[/i] were the threaded specter decoy? Yesterday I came around a corner and someone was shooting one of my teammates with a machine gun and the gun proceeded to go around/through my teammate and kill me but not my teammate. And I was like I feel like a decoy.

                            No more broken than prismatic on other classes. You are bothered by the sheer amount of Hunters using cheese. The abilities are not more potent than someone superman flying in, making a free ice spear and shattering the next before thrusting away or making a personal shield that can tank Goldie. Or leaping into the air with huge Dr and setting everyone on fire. I'm tired of prismatic Hunter too, but the other classes are powerful, just not popular.

                              I’m no PvP player. I enjoy the gameplay, but I’m far from good hence can hardly comment on this. However, one thing I agree with streamers in general about this aspect of the game, which is supposed to be competitive by essence, is that players who thrill for the win, should use the most powerful class and weapons available. Hence if you believe hunters are broken, then go in with your hunter. That said, I am a hunter main, and I always did better in PvP with my Titan. So I mostly play PvP with my Titan. Sounds stupid huh?

                            • It’s just going to be like this until the next episode starts. I agree with the over use of abilities by Prismatic hunters. It’s still spammed. Yes threaded spectre and swarms got re-tuned. It’s still not enough in my opinion. I would rather have seen a cool down increase on all the abilities rather than making them weaker. Look at Prismatic Titans. 2:42 for a melee cool down and 2:32 for a grenade. The hunters aren’t even close to this long. This is why Titans seem weak and Hunters seem OP.

                              • They chose the worst aspects for Hunter's prismatic and it surprised me how broken they are. I DESPISED Threaded Spectre, Stylish Executioner, and Winter's Shroud. For prismatic? Apparently they can be some of the most damning. They tried to avoid breaking the game so they made loops instead. That, and how Heart Of Inmost Light was chosen for some odd reason in the exotic class item. The best part is how easy the solution is. They weren't problems outside of prismatic. Nerf the prismatic cooldowns IN PVP ONLY. I cannot stress PVP enough. It's fine in PVE. The problem was trying to avoid prblematic areas from every subclass as well as aspects and abilities that would have been deemed useless. What I would do is make any ability that lingers not cooldown until it ends. Until the spectre is gone, until the smoke bomb is gone, etc.
