Shadestep. He's the best shadestepper in the entire game.

That was the second time I had played him, we beat him the first time, but he was double carrying. He had Tkiriella with him this past weekend and we lost 5-2. As you can see. I panicked and choked

I've never seen a shadestep like that. It always rolls and and go briefly invisible. How do you do it like that?

He's pressed the buttons to trigger the animation, but then pops his super before it can complete so it triggers the tether pose.

More than anything it's to make me do exactly what I did. just bait me into thinking it's a gun fight and that he isn't going to use it there.

You see, that's something I probably would have never thought to do

Ride the hammer bro dick all you want, but a decent GG player will pop his super, peak around a corner for a split second and have a sunbreaker down before he can even throw a hammer.




Sun breaker is my secondary PvP character and I find better luck in running double fusion grenade, then using simmering flames so they come back 10-15 seconds sooner and only use hammers if I can get a vertical advantage over 2-3+ players. Titan is probably the easiest of the 3 for me to use with hunter being the most frustrating.

I put it on black hole and barely even try to get kills with it. I rely on keen scout/shadestep so much that I'm not sure I could play without them anymore.

The only character I have is a hunter and I don't have any intention of making another character.

I would agree with this sentiment. My mini-rant aside, all three classes have their strengths and weaknesses. The Hunter's weaknesses are just magnified IMO in PVP more than the others, especially in a game mode like this.


ETA: Also, it is just my humble opinion that a giant buck knife hurled right into your skull should be a kill

Sure, you can counter everything in the game. I'm not saying you are invincible as a hammer bro. 1v1 you aren't going to kill a hammer bro though unless you have another super (ETA or heavy). That isn't necessarily the case with gunslinger or bladedancer. The AOE on those hammers is still absurd.


I have a video of me on YouTube shutting down supers in mayhem with Her Benevolence. At least one Hammerbro I know.

LINK
It's at 1:28 seconds. A little but later I shut one down using a double trip mine microwave.

This was pre nerf to the 1k yard stare variety of snipers so idk if it is possible now. I know event horizon/devils dawn can shut down a max armor hammer/striker titan mid super.

As a Titan player, I can definitely confirm being one shot out of my super

Very nice. I'll have to try and get a Devil's dawn then. I've had awful luck with sniper rolls ever since year 2 rolled out, so I kind of abandoned them. They use to be my go to. May have to try and pick them up again.

You would think, but Hunter's are well known to have the highest overall KD of all three classes in ToO, followed by Warlocks and lastly Titans.

Hunter is difficult for me because of the armor situation. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground on the subclasses for agility/armor. You only get one or the other.
The easiest way I have found is just running blade dancer with blink QuickDraw and shotgun warrior people. Shadestep starts giving me a headache and they goofed tripmines. I mained a hunter in y1 and y2 up to April update. After that I have mainly stuck with Voidwalker and I enjoy it a lot more.

I would assume so since the beginning, but is that the case since TTK expansion? Year 1, bladedancer was definitely legit OP for something like trials.

Plus, maybe us Hunters are just better players????

Event horizon. The crucible vendor has one for 150 marks with a great roll. Shoots slow but hits like a Mack truck. Pair it with a good Eysaluna, Lord High Fixer, Ill will or a Last Word and it is a decent setup to practice with. Take it into the cosmodrome and use it until you get comfortable then PVP.

Shadestep is pretty clutch for picking up crests that are being camped on, but other than that it's pretty tough for me to earn points as a hunter on supremacy. The maps just seem too crowded and there's nowhere to recover.

I did have a few good games two nights ago but I feel like I was in some scrub matches with nothing but shotgun titans.

Yea, I run that (minus blink because I am just terrible at blink) most of the time, using Golden gun on some maps. Year 1 hunter was so much more fun in pvp. Year 2 has shite on them pretty hard.

I have never felt outgunned by another class in 3v3 matches with the hunter. The armor never seems like an issue and the ultra high agility is very nice.

In 6v6 stuff i feel like I'm dead the whole match.

Agreed. I looked at some of my stats from last night, and I didn't play well by any means, but I still had a >1.0 K/D and almost a 1.0 assist/death ratio. It just felt like I was doing much worse because I didn't get credit for hardly any of it because I could never get crests.
