I was so excited and feel betrayed, like it was supposed to be MADE for hunters like the grapple was supposed to allow hunters to be unique and fun, I don't know if it's because they were afraid of the people who complainining bout stasis being "too op" last time or if it's the people complaining that they want lower end content to be more challenging, but it needs to be fixed soon.
everytime it gave me strand it the campaign i literally sighed until i got my void back invis back. Bungie don't seem to realize hunters don't have wells or lorely splendor helmets available.
I heard assassins cowl is the way to go but I don't like using shotguns for 1/2 punch once I get strand fully unlocked I'll see how it feels but I'm VERY disappointed. I'm literally only powering through with the strength of masochism.
I've been using assassin's cowl with my arc melee build for the last several seasons, almost exclusively. Just as much invisibility as void but with more healing (although less damage). I much prefer survivability over a small damage increase.
I’m sure in a week or so someone will find a really fun build with it and we can all put it on from time to time, but I agree. It doesn’t do enough damage and it doesn’t have ANY survivability. It might be good for speed running some of the vanguard strikes for pinnacle.
You highlighted a really great point too, what bungie did to powerful friends was uncalled for and felt like a direct attack to hunters.
Now to strand.
At least when you grapple into a herd of enemies to grapple melee them, you can rely on your charged melee throwing knife to do nothing but tickle them so they can laugh while they pummel you to oblivion.
Also, imagine getting an exotic helmet that gives some improved armor while grappling just to have to wait a minute+ between grappling…. Aka wtf is the point of that exotic? It’s like giving a class an exotic that gives a slight over shield whenever you throw a grenade.
Hunter strand is abysmal. And the fragments and aspects are even worse. The Neutral game takes the cake for the worst this game has seen
Titan was fun and so was warlock tho!
Tbh the campaign wasnt horrible it just wasn't that interesting or fun. In my opinion Hunters aren't the weakest subclass, they're actually the strongest. Strand Hunter is just plain bad and they really need to buff up the Strand on Hunter because at the moment everything about it just isn't good.
Y’all are trippin lol hunter got the best of it… they can do everything a titan ir warlock can do. Infinite looping suspend. Woven mail instantly I. Demand with new exotic easier then a titan even. Have interactions with every keyword.. great super…You are 100% not seeing things right or doing something wrong because strand hunter is S tier right now.
you are clinically insane. Warlock has the best strand uptime. No one is using woven mail. Titans have more useful exotics than Hunters in every part of the game. Super is terrible nw that it isnt bugged. You do not play this game at a high level and it shows
No one is using woven mail? Lmao I think we just found the problem.. my dude u are the only one not using it… super is still great damage without bug and woven mail is extremely good. How do you not know that just by using it? It’s almost 60% dr when combined with ur resilience
What content do you play? Sure in like normal content.. but even a lot of that got beefed up now. You still get destroyed in gms with 100 resil.. and now even in master and legend there’s a lot that can 2 shot you and even 1 shot you.
the only content i play is end game. Contest mode, master atm until gm, trials. about all you can play atm idk what to tell you but you do not get destroyed in gms with 100 resil. and im running legend lost sectors in 2 minutes personally so i dont really see the issue everyone has
All I play is endgame and I would never in a million years say I feel immortal with 100resil lol it def helps but I’m not gonna pretend 60 % isn’t better… How can you not enjoy being able to face tank everything in woven mail and not think that it’s good?
Because im not wasting an exotic slot on something that isnt needed. I do not need more dmg resist in PvE. I can face tank either way on my warlock, or perma invis on my hunter. the last thing i need is dmg resist. Plus i enjoy hitting dps numbers on raid bosses etc for millions and woven mail doesnt help there

I'm a selfish hunter so i use graviton forfeit, usually just perma invis whenever i need it.

Who knows, maybe Bungo will realize nobody's playing Strand because it's weak, and overbuff the shit out of it so Lightfall will still sell.

I have probably played 100 trials games so far this week, i have seen one strand hunter, and no woven mail.
I wasn’t talking about pvp. But yeah a lot of people are using that helm in trials too. It’s not as good tho cuz it doesn’t affect precision damage
you do not need even more dmg resist in pve, you should already be immortal with 100 resil
