Hunter Breakdown (This Is by Far the Best Class!)

I went into the beta expecting the Hunter to be alright but not great. I was sorely mistaken. The hunter was my favorite in all categories except melee. The hunter's grenades worked really well for me. The Solar Grenade was great for PVE. With its huge blast radius, it could cut down large groups of enemies. What it didn't kill got set on fire. The Swarm Grenade was best for hive thralls and PVP. A swarm grenade, when launched at a group of thralls coming at you, would send shards at all of them, cutting them down before they had even a chance to touch you. In PVP, a Swarm Grenade could take out two Guardians very quickly. The hunters melee had the best range by far and a sick animation, but it didn't have as many useful functions as the Warlocks. The upgrades didn't give you health or reduce grenade cooldowns. They were mostly for causing damage. The fiery knife is cool though. Golden gun was by far my favorite super. People in the alpha complained about damage. I found it could insta-killl Fallen Captains and Hive Wizards. It killed Servitors and Knights with two hits. People also complained about aiming. I killed more enemies with Golden Gun than Nova Bomb. It was almost impossible to miss with Golden Gun. It shot a huge beam of solar energy at the enemy. Especially with the Deadeye perk, you need to be facing the other way to miss your target. With the combustion perk it gains AOE abilities. It has been improved from the beta. Finally, the hunter had a great balance of agility and armor. Double jump was definitely the best vertical movement ability. Cloaks were the coolest and most noticeable class specific armor slot. HUNTER 4 LIFE!!!!!! Please comment if you disagree.

  • The hunter isn't the best. Sure, you get a three shot pistol, whoop dee -blam!-ing doo, titans get a ground slam that can be upgraded to do continuos blasts over a massive radius, and the warlock shoots install ill bombs like drinking water!

  • You are kinda throwing fuel into the "Hunter is to OP nerf nerf nerf!" fire. All classes have their ups and downs in reality. I'm a Hunter and I love it, but I will never see it as the best of the best. I rely on a good team to help even if I go lone wolf (use my team as a distraction and flank).

  • Hunter is my personal choice but I think that the classes are all made equal.

  • The hunter isnt the best class 0.o. As a matter of fact, no class is the best class

  • The hunter's melee had the shortest range and was by far the worst. This is because the throwing knife replaced the extra damage that the two other classes had. The hunter's golden gun special was weak against PvE and was harder to get kills with than the other specials, especially the nova bomb which was very easy to get a kill or two every use. In my opinion, the best part of the hunter is his/her cloak and rugged apperence.

    • No offense, but that really wasn't a breakdown. It was more of a "Hey guys. I like the Hunter, here's why." You didn't really compare it to anything, not fairly anyway. Plus, I don't think there is a "Ultimate class" as each class has a purpose in this game, as they are all supposed to support each other. This game wasn't built with Lone Wolfing in mind, it was designed as a team based FPS/Loot&Shoot/Rpg mix that promotes teamwork. I'm not bashing the Hunter, as being covered by a sniper is always comforting. Every class has a purpose, a role, something special about it. I hope people come to see this. Hunters shouldn't run into combat. They should cover Titans and Warlocks, pick off vehicles and snipe the living hell out of anyone unlucky enough to fall into their crosshairs. Titans are tanks, and warlocks are support. Don't snipe as a Titan, don't go into CQC with a Hunter. Use your class correctly, and your team will be much happier.
