Is there anyone else choose Hunter becoz of Cayde-6 ? I start to play D2 in Forsaken, use Titan first, then after seeing Cayde-6's death I decide to make a Hunter.

Geezus dude. I’m a hunter main and I picked that class because I thought it was the most diverse and because Nathan Fillion was the actor that played Cayde. Threaded specter had its moment….now it’s moved on. There will be some stupid OP build for warlocks and for titans that will make the class the mode for PvP. Until then, practice and get gud or something. Quit griping about why you suck. That is all….

[quote]I'm very disappointed that Bungie is well aware of the overwhelming numbers of players in any PVP activity is hunters. More than 45%. This should clearly let you know hunters need to be nurffed greatly[/quote] Your getting down voted because the vast majority of the player base mains hunters. Statistical fact, and they don't like being called out like that. In order for anyone aside from hunter mains to win guardian games, they have to buff the other classes to even give them a chance. It won't be solved because Bungie is hell bent on nerfing titans and warlocks, while hunters get more or less left alone. They're the easiest class to use in both PvP and PvE, with amazing one shot abilities that are super easy and safe to use. There's a reason most of the community prefers them, but if Bungie did anything about it, they'd all cry in mutiny because none of them can actually count higher than 2 and don't understand that of the three classes, they've received the least nerfs and the most buffs, and they'll argue that point by calling you an idiot instead of actual facts (which they can't do because it's objectively true that hunters get the best treatment). So, in summary, yes, there are too many hunters. Sorry, that'll never change.

It's because it's by far the easiest class to use with the highest reward.

It’s not the cape …. People play with classes with the least risk. Solar: Hunter - Radiant from cover. Zero risk. Titan/Warlock - Must engage opponents to Radiant. Strand: Hunter - Threaded Specter, can activate from safety without engaging any opponent. Exotic Helm allows woven mail from cover. Titan - Has to engage and tag opponents to activate any abilities. Warlock - high cool down on threadling rift. Void: Hunter - Invisibility, can be activated from cover. Zero risk. Titan - Bastion, can be activated from behind cover. Zero risk. Warlock - COG, can be activated from behind cover. Zero risk, but wonky tracking, and Warlock will often die or trade. Stasis: Hunter - with exotic arms you can use Duskfields to create safe or offensive zone with little to no risk. Titan - need to engage opponents to activate any abilities. Warlock - can freeze opponents from relative safety with osmiomancy. Arc: Hunter - Lowest Hunter usage. Only Hunter class with no access to free to use zero risk abilities. Titan - Jugg can be activated without engagement with an opponent, but easily stopped. And, most importantly it can be seen by opponents. Warlock - Arc soul can be activated from cover, but unlike other abilities (radiant) it can be seen so it losses potency since any decent opponent would disengage. It’s not the cape. Usage data of all the classes tracks based on the above. The classes with the highest usage rates are those with abilities that can be leveraged from cover with little or no risk required to activate and benefit from said abilities. This is true across all three classes and also true within the breakdowns of each individual class.

Lol must be low skill bracket on console. PC is full of peacekeeper titans.

It's always the below 1 players that come up with these things... For me, warlocks and titans could use some more interesting class abilities. Just sitting behind a shield or standing in a rift isn't very fun. Maybe many feel the same way and play as a hunter.

Imo, Hunter is quite literally tailored to PvP - you can use one in PvE of course and they will still do well, but imo they are the PvP class. Titan and Warlock are made for PvE - of course they still do just fine in PvP, but imo they are by and large made for PvE.

They're nerfing Strand Hunter, the biggest outlier atm.

Since you pointed this out it should be youuuuu who picks peoples' classes for them. Hunters got nerfed in every kind of way and people kept playing them. Should probably try something else. Like playing a hunter!

Things I took from OP - Titan main, probably abuses the main titan meta until it gets nerfed - talks about the popularity in hunters. If it was strand hunter, I would agree but alas. Its not - I have a card. Tell me, where did the evil hunter touch you? Show on the dolly - Salt, more salt than eternity could ever hope [spoiler]I like warlocks as well..their way of customisation is dope as well[/spoiler]

Yes there’s a lot of Hunters but keep in mind they’re on your fireteams too.

It’s mostly about the capes.
