I don't really buy into this Hunter being weak stuff. Its statistically the best class for W/L and K/D in PvP at the moment.

Dodge is extremely underrated by people. I find it way more useful than the rift.



I've been using Nightstalker, the neutral game with invisibility is incredible. Definitely my top choice at the moment.



Not sure on the differences but 1 thing I've found handy is changing my controller layout so that I now crouch using R3, so its easy to duck your head mid gunfight if they're headshotting you causing them to miss. Only takes an hour or two to get used to the change, makes it easier to slide too.

For PvP - most ineffectual supers, slowest class, weakest grenades. No Blink, dodge on a cooldown now. Can't spec for high resilience or recovery, weaker melees relative to the other classes.

I don't see how you could say that they are in a strong place compared to the other classes or to D1.

The stats say otherwise..:P

They have the best movement by a mile, the others are debateable, Nightstalker super is trash but smoke and dodge are great. Golden Gun is the game's strongest super.

I'll remember that the next time I pop Arcstrider and watch my opponents jog away from my desperate flails...:pac:

I agree on this 100%. I've mained a Hunter for 90% of D2. My warlock is fat, sluggish and slow in comparison.

While I agree the hunter supers are not good for PVP, it's still the best class for me. When I switched from Titan to Hunter, I was doing way better in PVP and PVE too.

AbusesToilets

I can't get behind the decision to put Dodge on a cooldown, especially given that Blink was removed and is also not on a similar cooldown for Locks.

Also, Tether is unacceptably broken at the moment, worse than it ever was in D1.

I'm leveling my hunter now, I hardly drift off gunslinger if I'm honest, but he feels so much faster than my warlock it's probably not as much as I'm imagining but feels faster.

Also I use the 6 shooter golden gun tree in pvp and spam the 6 rounds into cap points etc, get more kills than you'd think.

I mained GS on d1 but I just can't play it without the trip mines/ahamkara duo (it's not the same in d2)

They got rid of the double trips too, cause reasons...:rolleyes:

Grenades are **** across the board really (except titan pulse) so I keep my incendiary grenade for enemies low health, the burn coupled with foe tracer exotic helm(bonus damage to low health targets) actually kind of helps confirm a few kills.

I agree though I thoroughly miss ahmamkara double trip mines getting kills a few minutes after you've thrown them.

I have a d1 clip somewhere of me throwing 2 trips then getting killed, I respawn in go to capture the point and get a triple kill from the two trips I had fotmrgotten about earlier.

Playing some D1 PvP tonight. It really is light-years more fun. Supers, abilities, interesting weapons. Yes, still getting sniped to pieces by twitchers, shotguns et al. I don't care.

When I was into COD I really liked it over several years. Was giddy for each new game and thoroughly embraced them. Always ended up going back to MW2 at some point, where it all began (for me).

oooohhhhh, look at the try-hard over here getting practice in for the boards.ie pvp comp that almost certainly won't happen.

Gauntlet is challenge mode this week.

Can’t repeat jobs is seemingly the name of the game this time. Assume that is per rotation.

So you have to run rotating plates - so same person is always shooting from the home plate, same person is always the one punching psions on a single run.

Then you have to have a different person running, a different person on home plate and a different person punching the psion the next run, and again the run after.

Couldn’t be arsed!

SolvableKnave

You sure?

I thought it was just different person running each round

Datto says can't repeat jobs. Seen other saying can't do static plates either.

If it was just a different runner it would just be the presteige mode standard, which wouldn't make sense.

Shaxx will be dropping 300 gear all week, apparently.

The Hunter gets a lot of slack lately but I am a huge fan of the dodge & auto reload perk. You can also get a 6 shot GG perk too.. I'm a big fan!

Warlock is an all rounder - Nothing too special IMO

jcd5971

This raid is just underwhelming in every way. Just no desire to even run it.

Just wait til we get Curse of Osiris and the new raid content is just a new room.

I'll rank up a Hunter and Warlock for you just pm me your PSN and bank account details.
Seriously though, the natural order of things is Titan, Warlock and then Hunter.

Wanted the DO hunter helmet, scout rifle, hand cannon and auto rifle from faction rallies. Given my experience last time I expected frustration.

Out of my first 6 packages....

Helmet check.
Scout check.
Other scout check
Hand cannon check.
Auto rifle check.

Boom. Done with faction rallies for the season. :-D

9 x Faction Tokens per minute - Every minute till Bungie patch it!!

Head to to European Dead Zone and Load into The Winding Cove section of the map.

Head into the lost sector and clear it out. Collect loot from the crate (3 x tokens). Just above you, the exit door will open, head out and make your way up the corridor.. once you see the new sector name appear on the bottom left of your screen, turn around and head back into the lost sector room.

As you approach the door, it will open for you allowing you to re-enter and open the lost sector crate again.

Exit, rinse and repeat.

Once you get into a flow, you can get in and get out 3 times a minute = 9 tokens.

I expect this to be patched soon so make hay!!!
