I agree GG is terrible, I came to D2 from D1 and had always played GG. That said I'm now making my hunter with tether and I don't really use it except for in PvE. In crucible I don't even act like I have a super but its better than pretending I do by having GG.
GG takes to long to activate, been mild before I've even been able to aim down the sights.
It doesn't last long enough and it's way to easy to be killed with it on.
My advice for a buff would be
1. Extended duration
2. Each time you kill a target a round is returned to the magazine and duration is increased. (This works the same weather you have 1 round with the celestial night hawk or have 3/6 rounds depending on which subclass tree you have chosen)
3. Reduce animation time
4. For each piece of masterworked armour increase health and overshield by 10%
5. A Kill generates as many orbs as kills you have made through the duration of golden gun (1st kill = 1 orb total, 2nd kill = 2 orbs + the original, 3 orbs total)

A few of those buffs might be a bit much, but otherwise I agree 100% I'm like you. I came from D1 being a hardcore GG Hunter main. Even though GG is considered bottom tier in D2, I still prefer it and use it and hardly ever activate my super since it's almost useless. For PvE I definitely use Nightstalker because of how effective it is PvE wise

That might be a bit much. It just needs an extra 8-10 seconds and it would be fine. (A little super armor wouldn't hurt either but isn't 100% necessary.)

Not really arcstrider got a melee range buff and that change to gg would stop the arcstrider spam we have now

Are you serious? I love hunter and GG in particular but you can’t be serious. That’s extremely broken if used in pve. Kill with celestial nighthawk and get another round and get more duration. It would never end in a strike or raid and orb generation would be insane. Even in pvp, that wouldn’t fly. You can hit across the map with it, now you want extra bullets and up to 30 more seconds? Broken. An easy fix and more on scale would be to decrease super animation time and increase duration by about 5 seconds. Maybe a slight buff to damage but nothing more. It needs to be on par with other supers, not better. The way people group up in crucible, usually easy 2 to 3 kills. The key is when and where you activate. Never in clear view of enemy and make sure you spot where several are beforehand

If timings is the issue then reduce it. I'm not a games designer by any means but you've gotta admit as it stands GG is not as effective as other supers. Yeah I get what your saying with how that would effect PvE. Especially with the six shot tree but it's just and idea that bungie probably won't even look at tbf haha

I hear ya. Gg needs some serious love to be as good as tether or arcstrider. Its very underwhelming currently
-
That sounds kinda broken IMO. Extending duration and refunding bullets for hits... that would take little skill and be damn near unstoppable.

I'm not talking about a massive extension but at least 15 seconds maximum 30 seconds and when I say and extend the duration when a kill is made I mean by like 3 seconds which isn't really anything. I think it would effectively make it as effective as n arc strider even though the super won't last as long as something like arc strider.
