You don’t break Hunters just because Bungie broke Warlocks.
Bungie just needs to walk back the Penumbral Blast nerf by about half.

Yea actually you do if the same issues exists with it, mainly the length of the freeze time is too long as was the Warlocks but also its effects dominate the field. I'm a Warlock main but run all three every week and only have issues with the melee distance issue on the Warlock. But when I play Hunter or play against Hunters I see the same thing we had with Warlocks pre-nerf. Is that a bad thing in a PVE environment? Hell no you want all the damage potential you can get as a team. In a PvP environment, its unbalanced and borders on toxic. But I admit I'm so not a PvP fan in D2 and usually only run it for quests or pinnacles not caring how I perform. So in the end do I care if Hunters get nuked? Nope, not at all. Do I care about increasing Warlock melee distance and speed? Yes I really do.

[quote]Yea actually you do if the same issues exists with it, mainly the length of the freeze time is too long as was the Warlocks but also its effects dominate the field[/quote] That's how Jon Weisznewski used to think (Sandbox lead for D1, Weapons design Lead for vanilla D2). ...and that's who he nearly destroyed this game...and why he no longer works at Bungie. A game that is "balanced" in that way is a game where eveyrone is NOT having any fun to the same degree.

I agree they should at least make the freeze last 2 seconds or just increase the range, but you have to admit the tornado of the hunter super lasts for a helluva long time. Plus notice that only titans and hunters get aspects that can insta shatter crystals and warlocks dont? whats with that? warlocks can easily benefit more from the fragment that gives ability energy from shattering them and we don't have an easy way to break them. thats just wrong lol
-
fair point, but then why give the warlocks a fragment that increases the size and damage of the shatter burst and give ability energy for shattering crystals if we have to waste time and/or ammo just to shatter 1 crystal?
