SPOILERS AHEAD
At this point, I don't know if Bungie just wants Warlocks to dominate in the crucible, cause they get everything they need to do so
Voidwalker
Gets blink: a jump and evade ability.
Gets a new grenade enhancement ability
Gets to regen health in place of grenade charge (which will be clutch in tight situations)
Dawnblade
Gets garrison maneuver on shorter cooldown than hunter dodge
DoT melee
Immediate health regen with Phenoix Dive
Can shoot in mid-air and those kills regen melee and grenade
Also, they can pocket themselves and teammates and regen immediately with Rift
And get the best exotics (i.e. Karnstien Armlets: [all] Melee attacks begin health regen, Lunafication Boots: allies in rift reload weapons instantly (completely -blam!-s over titan too), Eye of Another World: Highlighted targets and decreased melee, grenade, and rift cooldown) (and those are just the ones that caught my eye, they're all useful honestly)
So what about Hunter?
Gunslinger
Throwing knife blows up now
Chain of Woe basically unchanged
Arcstrider
Combat Flow, Deadly Reach, Battle Meditation, and Focused Breathing are all pretty good; but could have been put on exotics as well to make all hunter subclasses more consistent
Dodge is lackluster and cools down way too slow, effects are ok at best (melee should recharge on use with gambler's, and tracking should be lost on dodging targets
Exotics: Mechaneer's Tricksleeves: Increased sidearm ready and reload (REALLY???), Knucklehead Radar is back and as static as ever, Celestial Nighthawk and Young Ahamkara's Spine are back with minimal buffs, Orpheus Rig: ability energy for each tethered target (oh boy.)
Yeah, Hunters got shafted hard and Warlocks proceed to dominate the crucible and vanguard

First of all, I main a Titan and for the sake of this argument, I am using competitive PVP as my basis. My complaint is the Voidwalker's access to too many health related benefits (specifically the attunement of hunger); Being able to have an ability to absorb their grenade for health, run a rift for health regen (plus overshield) and their melee kills get them back full health and grant health benefits on kills shortly thereafter? Pair this with Karnstein armlets that give you small amounts of health AND ability energy on EACH hit (not just charged melee's) and you have yourself a problem. Too many health abilities is non competitive and is going to be exploited heavily in Trials, mark my words.

I see very little potential for clutch plays in pvp for hunters and very little utility in pve. Basicaly in pve a hunter MIGHT be useful to generate orbs. Weeeeeh!!! How fun! Even Luke Smith when asked about subclasses described fun mechanics for both titan and warlock and than proceeded to say hunter is viable because they can generate lots of orbs for the team. Seriously??

2 RespuestasDownvoted for being another generic huntard that makes the rest look bad.

3 RespuestasEditado por HellfireEclipse: 9/3/2017 10:14:11 PMA hunter with a dodge reload will be OP in trials. They might need to speed it up or have two stack like grenades. The hunter jump is the best in pvp, Its low and quick. Also Hunters can roll unlimited in the pole dancer class. Warlock blink makes up for their super.

16 RespuestasI guess it makes up for the Warlock getting the shaft the last year in D1 lol

Warlock main 4 life

3 RespuestasEditado por Soul_Eater_42: 9/3/2017 3:45:22 PMThe envy is strong in this one. Maybe hang up the cape and switch to a Warlock if it bothers you so much. Or, you know, play more than just one class. Sheesh, some people...

Warlock envy...

4 RespuestasHave there been any arc strider specific exotics revealed yet? Was thinking of starting with arcstrider before I run gunslinger.
-
2 RespuestasIf warlock is overloaded what does that make Titan?
-
6 Respuestas1) The titan exotics blow everyone else's out of the water. 2) You're just naming the positives, and leaving out the MANY negatives 3) Where did you find the perks to the rest of the warlock exotics?!? All I've seen info on is for the helmets and the goofy chest piece with wings.

1 RespuestaOh NOE ! Complaining when the game isn't even out yet. On that subject I'm guess you're a hunter
-
1 RespuestaMmmhhh, I can feel the superiority in my awesome Warlock skin. All Hunters shall be slaves of the master Warlocks now and forever. It starts with you. Clean my boots Hunter. Right. -blam!-ing. NOW!
-
I know it's not the point of your post but I'm glad Celestial Nighthawk is returning. That exotic was pretty much the only thing that made Gunslinger viable in PvE.

3 RespuestasUh.... spoilers?

2 RespuestasWe'll see who's the baddest and who's the lamest when the actual game drops.

9 RespuestasIts because bungie hates the hunter class... and everyone knows all the devs play warlocks. Titans are like in between the two.
