You don't have to be a healer. In everything but raids I am a nuke. I just float around like an ac-130 dealing righteous ordinance. Warlocks are harder to learn but we are strong. When I heal, no one dies unless I say so.
My friend recently passed away but he was a hunter main. He was definitely the fashion addict, he even refused to play warlock because they lacked drip. He was really creative with his outfits especially on his titan to where one of them looked like they were straight out of wolfenstien and looked like those exo suit soldiers. I used to get annoyed with him constantly making me inspect his guardian to show off his shit, but now I miss it. He was the only reason I got back into Destiney 2 since he started playing again back in march and we both were bored of overwatch. I never played it unless he was on it because he made it fun, even when we were bored our random spouts of idiotic crap, funny reactions from deaths, jump scares, arguing etc kept it entertaining. Now I just cant play it anymore because its not the same without em. Rest In Peace VEC_2002
I can’t get the Ace, but by Fate, I will keep on the Memory of Cayde cape. No matter what other cloaks I get. I will infuse them to the cape to make Cayde’s memory that much stronger.
That’s it!? I rock the vanguard dare set, ace, memory of cayde, queen of hearts, spicy ramen projection, and finally a beautiful exo horn. Y’all slackin lol
I've been a Hunter Main since Destiny 1 Beta and you literally covered my entire mindset since I started playing. I've been through all the stages and must say I agree with your detailed analysis.
"Using shatterdive purely as a movement ability" I remember doing this during season of the Splicer solely to skip those long periods of slow falls when getting the speedrunning season challenges
It is important to remember, these are not linear stages, and you can regress to previous stages. At this point I cant wait for a 10 stages of every warlock main
That fashion > everything rule never leaves either, celestial has become a permanent part of my hunters look. I've been a nightstalker main since taken king
I know shards could be better, but if I'm running solar, I'm running mid and I'm equipping shards. Something just feels *right* when turning into Dio Brando and hurling burning knives at my enemies.
Nah you gotta go for different looks, e.g. I use sixth coyote in some sort of samurai look. Still really great fashion but incredibly strong as invis hunter
This really hits me hard. I'm taking a step back as a hunter main and realizing all the points you made about the annoyance stage and blame game. What an eye opener, Shadow. Thanks, I needed this. Less toxicity= More humbleness. Noted.
I still think the hunter blame game are well founded. That, or I dont like hunter as much as I thought. titan and warlock are just so much better in almost everything but jumping. warlock especially, literally the most tanky and deals crap loads of damage. warlock main now, hunter was fun while it lasted.
Even though I don't do PvP at all, I found myself smiling throughout the entirety of this vid. Because it's all pretty much true. As a Hunter/Warlock main myself, I think back to all the blueberries I've seen come along as time has passed, and the fun I have helping them learn all there can be. I just... Love it.
I tried Titan. I became the Ultimate Damage dealer, and Defender, Everyone’s Gameplay experience was significantly easier because of me, but like many others, I soon realized that deep down I was a space cowboy.
Laughed so hard when you mentioned in Stage 9 that there are 32 other exotics for Hunters other than Stompees and Dragonshadow. I can't imagine not using Stompees on my Hunter. Great Video, major props.
Dragon's Shadow is permanently glued to my character at this point. I just have give up the utility of the god dodge. It's like Bones of Eao in D1, I just got so used to having it that I couldn't use anything else.
As a Titan, I love my bouncy, dodge-loving, cape-toting brothers and sisters. Not the biggest fan of playing them, but I can't deny that they have a special place in our community. Edit: You guys are gonna make me cry😭 I love this community!
And we love our bulking heavy armor wearing, sinks like a rock in water Tank brothers and sisters too! Especially when we come running around a corner screaming "OH MY GOD I PULLED EVERYBODY! and need one of those magic walls of yours to hide behind and regen health :P
For me as a hunter main I stopped playing destiny 2 back in the red war and I only started to get back into it and I immediately fell in love with stasis and looked up a build for and saw how fun it could be with just one exotic so looking at a ton of different builds that fits a play style is my go to
As a Hunter main, I can say I went through all of this. I remember abusing my Igneous Hammer god roll when I first got it. I remember fragging out when I got a nice roll on a Retold Tale. I wear Mask of Bathtub for aesthetic reasons because I’m an Arc Staff main, and my Hunter looks like a gamer with robotic arms. My PvP exotics are the following: Outbreak Perfected, Traveler’s Chosen, Le Monarque, Telesto, Tarrabah, Cloudstrike, Devil’s Ruin, and Divinity.
I was a hunter main, i switched to warlock and i loved it but i slowly start wanting to play hunter again, its just more heart filling and i love my op lucly pants build
Due to the fact that I was a hunter main in D1 and D2, I seemed to have skipped a lot of these stages. It does annoy me though how my friends keep trying to force me to play a different class and constantly say I have no skill at the game because I only play hunter.
Bruh imo hunters require the most skill bc we can't prop up a barricade to heal behind or a rift to deal more damage. We have to use our instincts and awareness more often than other classes
@@ravitejvarma3781 right, what gets me every time though is on nightfalls if I see a way where I can knock more than half the enemies at the cost of my life, I take it. But for some reason they proceed to just immediately die 5 seconds after because I wasn’t there to take some of the fire. Meanwhile I can go for about 3 mins on your average nightfall without dying while taking all enemy fire. As such I think their needing me to be alive is a skill issue on their part, not mine.
One of my favorite things about Destiny is how people tend to fall so deeply in love with their main class. My friends who play fit so well into theirs and I do mine, it's really surprising how well covered people are when it comes to finding the right class for you. 🦅
I picked hunter because I've always loved the "rogue" type classes in rpgs, then stayed for the sheer variety of knife-flinging, staff-swinging chaos different hunter builds can give. My #1 favorite exotic has changed over the years too, from Shards to Dragon Shadow to Frostees, to my current favorite being Caliban's. Hunter is in my blood, and I'm not leaving the cape wearing corner anytime soon
i switched to titan in search of a better jump and class ability. i went to warlock after, to learn what it's like to shoot while gliding, heal me and other teammates, and use the well of radiance effectively. it took about 2 weeks for me to revert to my roots, and appreciate my true main. i'm slowly but surely moving forward and learning the tricks that may set me apart one day.
My first character was in Destiny 1, I decided to try Titan. I was a Halo fan and my brother told me that a titan was like a spartan but I didn't enjoy it, the movement wasn't fun for me so I made a new character. I became a Hunter main. I fell in love with the Blade Dancer subclass, and it was the best thing ever.
What sucks so much about the fashion phase is that I wear monochrome outfits in real life and wanna wear those kinds of sets in games even though it falls into the archetype of every Hunter Also that phase 4 realization hit hard
I’ve tried making a hunter exo two months ago after being a warlock main and I’m stuck in this rabbit hole. Also I’ve apparently skipped some steps because I don’t do pvp. Feels nice to find relatable situations in this video. Good job!
This was ALMOST exactly my path, but with a dramatically different end. I was a Hunter main since the D1 beta and took that all the way to about step 9. From there, though, I branched off and swapped mains to Warlock with Beyond Light because I knew that Hunters had the worst setups for solo flawless PvE content. Warlocks' versatility in endgame content mixed with their ability to dash, heal, etc, more than made up for the lost movement benefits of my Hunter. Instead, I ascended to step 10 Adept, but with the Warlock instead, valuing not movement, but positioning as king.
This is so true. On a side note, this video really shows how in depth and detailed every aspect of the game has become. I was the definition of a no life in the first game, but your builds were pretty straight forward. In Destiny 2, my brain gets overloaded sometimes trying to decide what to use, when to use it, and why I should be using it lol.
That was so epic! You took the routine nature of video games and painted a story here that was beautiful. Wonder, exploration, arrogance, self-identity, mastery, and generativity. Really well done!
When destiny 2 came out I was a titan main up until forsaken and I started playing with hunter because cayde died but also I like the capes for hunters and the jump an the Dodge but I do agree that titans and warlocks are way better than hunter in PvE cuz that’s mostly what I play but honestly in terms of PvE I think it’s harder to play hunter cuz you can’t hide in a bubble or rift and so in higher level content it’s a lot harder to survive playing as hunter and I think that’s why I like playing hunter It’s just harder to survive. It adds more of a challenge lol But I do play titan an warlock here in there to.
I mostly run top or bottom tree tether and that invisibility is so helpful. In the few master grasps of avarice dungeons that I've done, I doubt my team would have made it past the ogre part without my invisibility. It feels good being able to help out and be useful when everyone things hunters are trash
I definitely needed to hear this today. I've been a hunter main since D1 release, and I've just been stuck in stage 4 for years lol knowing that it's just a common step in the process of really understanding the class helps
I fell in love with the hunter due to the lore and gameplay of the Gunslinger. Of course you're rewarded for crit-shots, but you REALLY get rewarded for crit-shots on Golden Gun. I love the feeling of just focusing on my guns, I barely use my grenade or melee, and I use the dodge reload for even better gunplay. I main the Wormhusk Crown to make my gunplay just that much better 👌 I'm literally all about my guns. I LOVE that the super, it's also a gun.
Should see my gunplay. I main Nightstalker, and I use lucky pants with crimson. I also have my aspects and fragments set up, so I can be invisible anytime I want, as long as I'm near an enemy. I also use null composure still, and ascendancy. Using crimson with lucky pants becomes a pulse rifle that one shots everything, and can be used to take out yellow bars or even for dps on bosses. During the cool down, I switch to null for closer ranged add clear or dps, and with very tough bosses, I like to put in a full clip from crimson buffed with lucky pants, then switching to ascendancy. I also use godslayer warheads combined with explosive light. Grenades I just use for add clear, and I use melee and dodge for invisibility. Obviously I use gamblers dodge, otherwise I wouldn't be able to have infinite invisibility while near enemies.
Wormhusk doesn't do anything for gunplay but give you a free kill for running away from the initial fight. If your gunplay was as good as you think, you wouldnt use wormhusk because you wouldn't need the instant heal just for one person every time. And the other guy, Crimson and Nightstalker is barely any gunplay either. Its kinda hard for people to fight back against someone who's just not visible or on radar, of course getting the first shot from invis with the easiest Hand Cannon in the game is gonna result in good gunfights on your end. You're both abusing cheesy tactics during your gunfights and claiming its your gunplay that's good when its your abilities clutching it for you. Youre both typical hunters thinking you're good when the games holding your hands.
@@NuclearRizzicist the irony is crazy because titans and warlocks dont even need exotics to heal in a fight lmao and hunters are the most skillful class
As a hunter main, I can say that I've come so far from D1, with my hunter I'm able to solo master lost sectors, nightmare, and empire hunts. I'm able to run grandmasters, raids, and even master VOG runs. I carry the original Ace of Spades from Forsaken 3 years ago to honor Cayde and will carry it until the end. Hunter main for life.
As a hunter main with.... far too many hours I can say this is an accurate depiction of the hunters learning stages and experiences. Also best thing for any new hunters is to not spam dodge in crucible. Yes it is amazing for mobility. But when you jump into the endless abyss you are highly vulnerable. Use it wisely and maybe dont use stompee5 if you cant even control you're jump
I just started playing Destiny again (old friend of mine wanted to play like old times) and man I forgot how much fun it is to play Hunter and seeing this video reminds me of my own journey becoming a true hunter main all the way back from D1.
I can vouch for all of these, as someone who has been through all of these steps over the course.of my time in D1 and 2. Gotta say, that top-tree arc + assassin's cowl + 100 Str and Mob really does some favors in PvP. I've designed my entire look and style around these, broke that, and then rebuilt it and did it again. You'll never catch me without Eriana and a pulse unless it's a meme like Div + Sniper. But I do them all at once. Accurate content, love to see it.
Started in beyond light and saw this when I was on about stage 1-2 and now in lightfall rewatching this I feel I am adept now after going through everyone of these stages love it. Timeless
As a warlock main, I have huge respect for hunters because Warlocks and Titans almost have a get out of jail free card with their rifts and barriers, but Hunters only have movement to save their lives when things get tough, they are all very good players and if i wasn't a warlock I would 100% be a hunter
I used to main hunter until I switched to warlock in frustration of how "op" they were. I quickly realised that my time playing hunter put me into a lot of bad habits where I would usually rely on my dodge to get me out of. I stayed on warlock, played matches slower and built up the aggression to where I was taking smart fights I knew I could win without a dodge ability there to bail me out. I see a lot of comments on Reddit and Twitter of people being really salty whenever the hunter doesn't get the love other classes do but I can't help but wonder if hunter mains realise they have the only reactive class ability in the game; Titans and Warlocks both require a setup with their rift or barricade but hunters get an instant use, reactionary, movement skill to get them out of danger where the same move would've killed the other classes. I really like hunters, I think they are very cool and well fitted within destiny but I don't think people should as upset when they see other classes getting some love.
On a serious note: It's true, the dodge is the only class ability that is reactionary in nature, but it's also the one with less "evident" benefits. Sure, you change direction without losing momentum, and can devise pretty unpredictable patterns of movement, but the dodge shines only in the hands of a skilled Hunter. If the user is unexperienced, the dodge is near worthless. On the other hand, while the other class abilities require a setup (mainly, get to cover ==> profit) they have huge benefits that are objectively there. The Warlock's rift makes them unkillable or improves their damage, all the while doing other stuff related to the subclass they're running (Stormcaller, I'm looking at you) without having to do a single thing. The Rift does everything, and it also benefits allies. Almost the same can be said about the Barricade. Although it doesn't boost stats per se or has any special abilities depending on subclass (except when running certain exotics) it provides one of the most valuable assets in all of Destiny 2 gameplay: cover. It's some sort of middle ground between the Rift and the Dodge skill-wise. The ability to offer cover is pretty good per se, but the real benefits exist when the Titan already knows how to use cover effectively. Aaaaand, it also helps teammates. Dodge is a "selfish" ability, that only benefits yourself and only if you're skilled enough to use it properly. It's one of the most useful skills in a straight up 1v1, but it's balanced by the lack of substantial objective advantages and ease of use. Ps. The guy talking about Icarus Dash has a point. To be fair, it's the only ability I believe it's truly unbalanced in the game as it allows Warlocks to basically cross over into the other classes' niche (in this case, the Hunter's control over movement and momentum). The same could be said of the Glacioclasm ability of Behemoth Titan, before it was nerfed into the ground. The same should be done to Icarus Dash. It offers almost the same benefits to dodge, with a shorter cooldown, 2 uses with Heat Rises, and the capability of keeping momentum (the Hunter's dodge only shifts momentum, since it moves at a fixed speed). It's either nerfed, or removed in my opinion.
@@TerraTheWise it is reactionary, but it is also slower to activate (gotta jump first), travels less distance, and now only has one charge so its kind of an apples to oranges situation.
i first watched this when i first began. now im watching it again almost 6 months later and how true this was... i salute your accuracy mr shadow destiny
Watching this makes me realize how old of a hunter main I am lmao. I've just regressed from a stage 10 to 9 because I stopped playing Destiny for a bit, but during forsaken and shadowkeep I was all about being a sherpa lol Really good video.
I did all of this. I became a Titan for a while, then went back to hunter and everything felt better. Happy new year all. Thanks for the funny and true video.
I’ve been a Hunter since day 1 of D1 and since then it’s been great seeing my Hunter grow and make builds that are great for me. Although, my path to being a Hunter is way different. I have been trying out Warlock and Titan which have been fun but Hunter is still my main. I think I definitely achieved Adept status. Great Video, hope to see the other classes get one as well
This is 100% accurate. Literally describes my life story on d2 lmfao. On stage 9 rn cuz I got tired of using fatebringer and found verdict. Probably will never reach stage 10 tbh.
I started playing last month, & I already know that being a hunter is my calling. It just feels right. I loved being a gunslinger, but I wanted to try the other subclasses. I found out that void was the bane of my existence & I simply couldn't get the hang of it unless it was channeled through a void weapon. But I also discovered that being an arcstrider made my character feel complete. I'm still able to play a gunslinger if I have to, but the more I work on my arc build, the more I fall in love. (Sorry Cayde) Update: Almost a year playing this game, and I am still going strong as an arc hunter. I’m capable of using other subclasses, but very much an arcstrider. Also if I were any more Hunter Main, my teammates would have to physically put a leash on me to keep me from racing ahead & getting myself killed lol
@@LeCrownz I don't have the dlc, & ngl, I got super overwhelmed by the timeline activity. It's hard for me to keep track of anything with slowness fields & crystals everywhere. Sorry
My brother was a Hunter main since the early alpha days of d1. I watched him decimate and destroy Crota, Oryx, Taniks, Atheon, all of the raid bosses with my own eyes. Once I began playing d2. It was like I was picking up the torch that he left in d1. Becoming a hunter main felt like it was in my blood all along. But sadly I have an addiction to STOMPEES....
I swapped to warlock in an effort to teach my new light friend a few things. Though I did really good with my warlock and proved to be a natural, I just can’t go without my dodge 😂
Omg, lol. 100% correct! U forget “Dances everywhere all the time on top of and in front of everything, capping control zones, over players, every defeated boss ever, the Tower sweeper bot, Zavala’s office to his mixtape in front of the cat, on top of Sepiks Prime…”.
As a Warlock main, I can confirm after trying all 3 classes extensively, Hunters just play the easiest and have the least amount of drawbacks EXCEPT when it comes to air-time. Otherwise, the amount of versatility, utility, ability spam, exotics, and supers are just MAD good. The only 1 I had the most trouble using was Golden Gun (bottom tree). BUT, the others were stupid good/easy. But, my primary issue is how well Bungie designed Hunters to synergize ability cooldowns with their class ability, which is in turn tied to their Mobility stat (which is just insanely high, always). When I play a Warlock, I never use top-tree dawn. EVER. I think it's busted, unfair and a waste to some other interesting/fun builds for both PvE and PvP. Movement shouldn't be what makes you win, but unfortunately it kinda is. I have never felt more gratified playing a Warlock in PvP being a heavy support role with Well or bottom-tree Arc rifts w/ Boots of Assembler. They are very balanced (NOW), and offer a completely new playstyle for Warlocks that feels fun and refreshing. As for when I switch to Titan, I feel like I can only take 2 or 3 subclasses types into Crucible and that's stasis, solar (any) and bottom-tree Arc w/ Insurmountable Skull Fort. Otherwise, I am dogsh*t in crucible w/ a Titan. They move slow unless equipping Dunemarchers, they take forever to use their barricade resulting in quick deaths (and sometimes aren't safe anyway), their hit registration for melee is DUMB (for Stasis and Arc supers/melees) and often misses/disconnects from target, and to top it off: their momentum game just doesn't exist unless you're using Dunes. Meanwhile as a Warlock or Hunter, I am moving around freely w/ no issues at all and don't need some stupid exotic slot taken up for it. Essentially, what I argue about here is that Hunters and Warlocks got it good: Wallrocks have stupid easy supers that are ALL just very very good to use in PvP (per playstyle). Hunters have their overall gunplay/utility spam game MUCH better than Warlocks, and results in them getting their super SOONER than the Warblock or Tintin w/out investing their stats into Intellect. What do titan's have? A 3 good supers (each taking forever to get), Dunes for better movement (maybe Syntho/AC/DC Feedback), and very bad utility-game. This video highlighted some of those areas in the beginning, but man oh man when I switched from Warlock to Hunter for a Trials run w/ buddies, it was SO much better to be able to dodge into cover, spam grenades, or even just have more melee uses because Gambler's dodge. Warlock was good too, but man: I have to wait 3-4 rounds to get my super?! What a joke! That Rift doesn't save you from bullets! So, anyways, loved the video. Thanks for taking the time out of your day reading my lengthy rant, or what have you. You don't have to agree w/ my views on Hunters/Titans/Warbirds, and that's just A-ok w/ me! :) Hunter main or not, be safe out there. I'll see you in the Crucible, Guardians. :D
Hunters least dps and most useless inside of pve compared to other classes. Also the slowest class even though they are supposed to have highest mobility. PvP is where they shine and are relatively good. But each class has its up sides vs downsides, saying it is the easiest or (Least amount of drawbacks) entailed with it is completely untrue.
@@AIM4HV I can't tell when a dude is bad at the game when he says that hunter has the worst mobility lmao. Mobility isn't only the speed you have on a straight line big boy.
The titan path is surprisingly similar, except stage 10 is fully accepting that yeah, the other classes see us as a walking melee key and meme. And we embrace that, punching every damn cursed thrall we see :D
I have thousands of hours in destiny and im primarily as a warlock main. Speaking from experience the moment I switch to titan for some pinnacles I get an unquenchable thirst for crayons and a lust to punch every exploding enemy in the face. Titans are a strange phenomenon
@@spetmember8799 we are indeed strange. But I mean, you make a melee class that can also survive the suicide enemies (usually) and you don't expect it to punch them? The explosions are so pretty too :)
10:37 I can confirm this is 100% true but hey, it's pretty difficult to change the hand cannon and Shotty because you get so used to combo those two and call it a day
3:40 I have a titan friend who does all of this, mostly crapping on literally anything the hunter has, or anything else that's meta, and complain that bungie just hates titans. But I've also done this a little bit (because let's be real, the hunter is the only class with no grenades that can one shot a guardian, GG is the only class with 0% damage resist, and the throwing knife is almost always a hail mary), but after some fuming, I came to the conclusion that I just need to hit my shots. Vigilance Wing isn't very meta rn, and requires a certain amount...of...vigilance...to use. I'll leave now
I been building all 3 characters since the first days of Destiny 1 but I went from bein a warlock main in the early days to Titan in late game D1 and from the transition to D2 and late late D1, I became a hunter main. I went flawless so many times as a hunter and just loved shredding everything. Point is, you’ll just transition through every class. Get good
Easy Sub!! I really loved this video. And came to comments to ask if you had one for Warlocks. On the way here, saw it in the description. Thanks. Watching that next.
I have one of each subclass and really do enjoy sunbreaker titan, but my hunter is my main and my go-to for new missions, that's my comfort zone and my most detailed build
I love how absolutely spot on this video is 😂 Edit: although, I have never really complained about what the others have that i don’t. I just need to be fast.
Thankfully my Hunter growing pains were learned in D1. Then I cried when they took away blink. Mained Liar's Handshake until Arc 3.0 Swapped to Sixth Coyote & will never swap off blink. Amplified blink is amazing & we look better than Warlocks while we do it.
I was a warlock main in D1. Then in D2 i realized that healing other people is dumb and killing someone on a 100 mobility high jump arc strider build is much more fun.
Throughout my experience with hunter, I have undergo through several subclass. None of the subclass has hit this fantasy of hunter being an agile class. Night stalker kinda felt close with spamming dodge but it's not enough. Mask of Bakirs locking out cooldowns made stray away from revenant even though I love the animation of it. But then comes Strand in Lightfall and....oh my...it's...perfection. I can finally live out the fantasy of being agile with grapple, grapple melee, and ensnaring slam. It gave me a new light and enhance my experience with hunter overall.

Not a day till now did i know about this
Im getting out of bed right now
Its 6 am
To test this
@@ipodhackworldresults?
I thought I'm loosing my mind tbh like "wait did i just jumped higher? Nah impossible" 10 times in a row
Why didn't people notice that? It's a common thing to test 🤷🏻 especially when trying to do glitches and understand game mechanics.
Im a hunter main but I've only hit stage 6 and watching this entire video has opened my eyes now the true beauty of Destiny 2. Thank you sensei.
Thanks for watching
This really hits me hard. I'm taking a step back as a hunter main and realizing all the points you made about the annoyance stage and blame game. What an eye opener, Shadow. Thanks, I needed this. Less toxicity= More humbleness. Noted.
🤝🤝
@@ShadowDestiny I salute you sir
I still think the hunter blame game are well founded. That, or I dont like hunter as much as I thought. titan and warlock are just so much better in almost everything but jumping. warlock especially, literally the most tanky and deals crap loads of damage. warlock main now, hunter was fun while it lasted.
Even though I don't do PvP at all, I found myself smiling throughout the entirety of this vid. Because it's all pretty much true. As a Hunter/Warlock main myself, I think back to all the blueberries I've seen come along as time has passed, and the fun I have helping them learn all there can be. I just... Love it.
I can confirm all of this, aside from the extra jump height, it’s been nearly a decade of being a hunter and I still didn’t know that
I didnt notice i have been doing that all along untill he mentioned it. I used it alot specialy in raids and dungeons but i have never noticed
Dragons shadow looks really good with the iron truage set. Never use an exotic that fits the set, build a set around the exotic.
Exactly
That's how I do my builds. For some reason I'm a Lucky Raspberry fanatic. But paired with Trinity I always have lighting shots. 😌
Loving the 'jeans and air force ones' ornament for the stompees, pairs nice with the hoody and beanie look
Even tho you it may look good the other one not built around the exotic looks better so it’s obvious which to choose
Exactly! That’s my thought process too
I tried Titan. I became the Ultimate Damage dealer, and Defender, Everyone’s Gameplay experience was significantly easier because of me, but like many others, I soon realized that deep down I was a space cowboy.

After having been a Gunslinger Hunter since D1, I can say I have reached the Adept stage. I live and breathe the hunter lifestyle 😌
Gunslingers forever!
On god
Also been playing only hunter since D1, arc and void r cool and all but I wanna chuck knives in every direction
Wow just wow as a phase 10 Hunter this man just hit the nail on the head down to every last detail
Laughed so hard when you mentioned in Stage 9 that there are 32 other exotics for Hunters other than Stompees and Dragonshadow. I can't imagine not using Stompees on my Hunter. Great Video, major props.
Thanks, that means a lot!
Dragon's Shadow is permanently glued to my character at this point. I just have give up the utility of the god dodge. It's like Bones of Eao in D1, I just got so used to having it that I couldn't use anything else.
It’s weird that you mention that because I’ve never used dragonshadow and I rarly use stompees
I legit can't stand stompees and I been on stage 10 for a min liars handshake and knuckle head are my go 2 exotics

As a Titan, I love my bouncy, dodge-loving, cape-toting brothers and sisters. Not the biggest fan of playing them, but I can't deny that they have a special place in our community.
Edit: You guys are gonna make me cry😭 I love this community!
And we love our bulking heavy armor wearing, sinks like a rock in water Tank brothers and sisters too! Especially when we come running around a corner screaming "OH MY GOD I PULLED EVERYBODY! and need one of those magic walls of yours to hide behind and regen health :P
As another titan i can confirm that there IS a best tasting crayon

For me as a hunter main I stopped playing destiny 2 back in the red war and I only started to get back into it and I immediately fell in love with stasis and looked up a build for and saw how fun it could be with just one exotic so looking at a ton of different builds that fits a play style is my go to
As a Hunter main, I can say I went through all of this. I remember abusing my Igneous Hammer god roll when I first got it. I remember fragging out when I got a nice roll on a Retold Tale. I wear Mask of Bathtub for aesthetic reasons because I’m an Arc Staff main, and my Hunter looks like a gamer with robotic arms. My PvP exotics are the following:
Outbreak Perfected, Traveler’s Chosen, Le Monarque, Telesto, Tarrabah, Cloudstrike, Devil’s Ruin, and Divinity.
Mask of Bathtub hit me harder than I expected! 😆
Sounds like he got an early Witch Queen exotic.
I did all this in D1, but ran bad juju and top fragged in Iron Banner it was too funny getting 5 supers and 30+ kills.
Tbh I miss my max ranged party crasher +1. The world used to hate me 😂
I was a hunter main, i switched to warlock and i loved it but i slowly start wanting to play hunter again, its just more heart filling and i love my op lucly pants build
I was a Titan main who went through all of these stages... Then I went to hunter and went through all of them again
Video was 10/10 🙏
Same
Due to the fact that I was a hunter main in D1 and D2, I seemed to have skipped a lot of these stages. It does annoy me though how my friends keep trying to force me to play a different class and constantly say I have no skill at the game because I only play hunter.
This
Bruh imo hunters require the most skill bc we can't prop up a barricade to heal behind or a rift to deal more damage. We have to use our instincts and awareness more often than other classes
@@ravitejvarma3781 right, what gets me every time though is on nightfalls if I see a way where I can knock more than half the enemies at the cost of my life, I take it. But for some reason they proceed to just immediately die 5 seconds after because I wasn’t there to take some of the fire. Meanwhile I can go for about 3 mins on your average nightfall without dying while taking all enemy fire. As such I think their needing me to be alive is a skill issue on their part, not mine.

One of my favorite things about Destiny is how people tend to fall so deeply in love with their main class. My friends who play fit so well into theirs and I do mine, it's really surprising how well covered people are when it comes to finding the right class for you. 🦅
My favorite part was "they equip something other than a hand cannon and a shotgun" because those were (and somewhat still are) my main weapons.
between the hand cannon and shotgun stage, the glaive was the only weapon worth using.
I'm partial to Hand Cannon for Kinetic, a bow for Energy, and alternate between a sword and a machine gun for Heavy.
I never EVER use HC and shotgun at the same time.
@@z--KAISER but why
I mostly use hand cannon and submachine gun (I almost exclusively play PvE so I don't know if hand cannon and shotgun is good for PvP)
I picked hunter because I've always loved the "rogue" type classes in rpgs, then stayed for the sheer variety of knife-flinging, staff-swinging chaos different hunter builds can give. My #1 favorite exotic has changed over the years too, from Shards to Dragon Shadow to Frostees, to my current favorite being Caliban's. Hunter is in my blood, and I'm not leaving the cape wearing corner anytime soon
I'm 20 hours into destiny 2. Picked hunter, you've got me down to a T so far. Good work!
I used to main warlock. When I got my hand on the hunter, I discovered a whole new world

i switched to titan in search of a better jump and class ability. i went to warlock after, to learn what it's like to shoot while gliding, heal me and other teammates, and use the well of radiance effectively. it took about 2 weeks for me to revert to my roots, and appreciate my true main. i'm slowly but surely moving forward and learning the tricks that may set me apart one day.
My first character was in Destiny 1, I decided to try Titan. I was a Halo fan and my brother told me that a titan was like a spartan but I didn't enjoy it, the movement wasn't fun for me so I made a new character. I became a Hunter main. I fell in love with the Blade Dancer subclass, and it was the best thing ever.
What sucks so much about the fashion phase is that I wear monochrome outfits in real life and wanna wear those kinds of sets in games
even though it falls into the archetype of every Hunter
Also that phase 4 realization hit hard
I’ve tried making a hunter exo two months ago after being a warlock main and I’m stuck in this rabbit hole.
Also I’ve apparently skipped some steps because I don’t do pvp.
Feels nice to find relatable situations in this video.
Good job!
This was ALMOST exactly my path, but with a dramatically different end. I was a Hunter main since the D1 beta and took that all the way to about step 9. From there, though, I branched off and swapped mains to Warlock with Beyond Light because I knew that Hunters had the worst setups for solo flawless PvE content. Warlocks' versatility in endgame content mixed with their ability to dash, heal, etc, more than made up for the lost movement benefits of my Hunter. Instead, I ascended to step 10 Adept, but with the Warlock instead, valuing not movement, but positioning as king.
This is so true. On a side note, this video really shows how in depth and detailed every aspect of the game has become. I was the definition of a no life in the first game, but your builds were pretty straight forward. In Destiny 2, my brain gets overloaded sometimes trying to decide what to use, when to use it, and why I should be using it lol.
Thanks!
Same for me
Omg it's so amazing when you teach a new hunter main the way of the hunt
That was so epic! You took the routine nature of video games and painted a story here that was beautiful. Wonder, exploration, arrogance, self-identity, mastery, and generativity. Really well done!
When destiny 2 came out I was a titan main up until forsaken and I started playing with hunter because cayde died but also I like the capes for hunters and the jump an the Dodge but I do agree that titans and warlocks are way better than hunter in PvE cuz that’s mostly what I play but honestly in terms of PvE I think it’s harder to play hunter cuz you can’t hide in a bubble or rift and so in higher level content it’s a lot harder to survive playing as hunter and I think that’s why I like playing hunter It’s just harder to survive. It adds more of a challenge lol But I do play titan an warlock here in there to.
I mostly run top or bottom tree tether and that invisibility is so helpful. In the few master grasps of avarice dungeons that I've done, I doubt my team would have made it past the ogre part without my invisibility. It feels good being able to help out and be useful when everyone things hunters are trash
So you admit it takes actual skill to be a good pve hunter main? IV been one since the begining of D1 and IV always thought it took the most skill
Wow you perfectly described my journey trough this game. 6years of playing hunter and it was fun
I definitely needed to hear this today. I've been a hunter main since D1 release, and I've just been stuck in stage 4 for years lol knowing that it's just a common step in the process of really understanding the class helps
I fell in love with the hunter due to the lore and gameplay of the Gunslinger. Of course you're rewarded for crit-shots, but you REALLY get rewarded for crit-shots on Golden Gun. I love the feeling of just focusing on my guns, I barely use my grenade or melee, and I use the dodge reload for even better gunplay. I main the Wormhusk Crown to make my gunplay just that much better 👌 I'm literally all about my guns. I LOVE that the super, it's also a gun.
Should see my gunplay. I main Nightstalker, and I use lucky pants with crimson. I also have my aspects and fragments set up, so I can be invisible anytime I want, as long as I'm near an enemy. I also use null composure still, and ascendancy. Using crimson with lucky pants becomes a pulse rifle that one shots everything, and can be used to take out yellow bars or even for dps on bosses. During the cool down, I switch to null for closer ranged add clear or dps, and with very tough bosses, I like to put in a full clip from crimson buffed with lucky pants, then switching to ascendancy. I also use godslayer warheads combined with explosive light. Grenades I just use for add clear, and I use melee and dodge for invisibility. Obviously I use gamblers dodge, otherwise I wouldn't be able to have infinite invisibility while near enemies.
Wormhusk doesn't do anything for gunplay but give you a free kill for running away from the initial fight. If your gunplay was as good as you think, you wouldnt use wormhusk because you wouldn't need the instant heal just for one person every time. And the other guy, Crimson and Nightstalker is barely any gunplay either. Its kinda hard for people to fight back against someone who's just not visible or on radar, of course getting the first shot from invis with the easiest Hand Cannon in the game is gonna result in good gunfights on your end. You're both abusing cheesy tactics during your gunfights and claiming its your gunplay that's good when its your abilities clutching it for you. Youre both typical hunters thinking you're good when the games holding your hands.
@@NuclearRizzicist the irony is crazy because titans and warlocks dont even need exotics to heal in a fight lmao and hunters are the most skillful class
@@kemp3746 the irony is crazy because mashing a panic button then running away and hiding for a shotgun kill is the easiest thing to do in the game
@@NuclearRizzicist mashing a panic button? Like placing a rift or barricade lmao which are both way stronger and don’t require an exotic
This video became very personal very fast and I hate/love that it's so accurate to me... love the video keep it up!
As a hunter main, I can say that I've come so far from D1, with my hunter I'm able to solo master lost sectors, nightmare, and empire hunts. I'm able to run grandmasters, raids, and even master VOG runs. I carry the original Ace of Spades from Forsaken 3 years ago to honor Cayde and will carry it until the end. Hunter main for life.
As a hunter main with.... far too many hours I can say this is an accurate depiction of the hunters learning stages and experiences. Also best thing for any new hunters is to not spam dodge in crucible. Yes it is amazing for mobility. But when you jump into the endless abyss you are highly vulnerable. Use it wisely and maybe dont use stompee5 if you cant even control you're jump
Felt this in my soul
Whats the best exotic for a noobie, im still new
I just started playing Destiny again (old friend of mine wanted to play like old times) and man I forgot how much fun it is to play Hunter and seeing this video reminds me of my own journey becoming a true hunter main all the way back from D1.
😂😂😂 Man that jumping puzzle part hit me harder than my hunter hits the floor after missing those jumps
lmao! btw, I saw you commented on another video as well. Thanks for watching!
I can vouch for all of these, as someone who has been through all of these steps over the course.of my time in D1 and 2. Gotta say, that top-tree arc + assassin's cowl + 100 Str and Mob really does some favors in PvP. I've designed my entire look and style around these, broke that, and then rebuilt it and did it again. You'll never catch me without Eriana and a pulse unless it's a meme like Div + Sniper. But I do them all at once. Accurate content, love to see it.
Do you miss blade dancer? Cause I do
Started in beyond light and saw this when I was on about stage 1-2 and now in lightfall rewatching this I feel I am adept now after going through everyone of these stages love it. Timeless
As a Hunter main...this is terrifyingly accurate.
I subbed and liked just because of the sheer brutality of realism this video has. I went through these stages in the exact same order.
haha thanks so much
I started off as a warlock but after 2 years of warlock I felt the need to switch and decided to go for hunter and I don’t regret it
As a warlock main, I have huge respect for hunters because Warlocks and Titans almost have a get out of jail free card with their rifts and barriers, but Hunters only have movement to save their lives when things get tough, they are all very good players and if i wasn't a warlock I would 100% be a hunter
I used to main hunter until I switched to warlock in frustration of how "op" they were. I quickly realised that my time playing hunter put me into a lot of bad habits where I would usually rely on my dodge to get me out of. I stayed on warlock, played matches slower and built up the aggression to where I was taking smart fights I knew I could win without a dodge ability there to bail me out. I see a lot of comments on Reddit and Twitter of people being really salty whenever the hunter doesn't get the love other classes do but I can't help but wonder if hunter mains realise they have the only reactive class ability in the game; Titans and Warlocks both require a setup with their rift or barricade but hunters get an instant use, reactionary, movement skill to get them out of danger where the same move would've killed the other classes. I really like hunters, I think they are very cool and well fitted within destiny but I don't think people should as upset when they see other classes getting some love.
Icarus dash would like a word with you about reactive movement.
On a serious note:
It's true, the dodge is the only class ability that is reactionary in nature, but it's also the one with less "evident" benefits.
Sure, you change direction without losing momentum, and can devise pretty unpredictable patterns of movement, but the dodge shines only in the hands of a skilled Hunter.
If the user is unexperienced, the dodge is near worthless.
On the other hand, while the other class abilities require a setup (mainly, get to cover ==> profit) they have huge benefits that are objectively there.
The Warlock's rift makes them unkillable or improves their damage, all the while doing other stuff related to the subclass they're running (Stormcaller, I'm looking at you) without having to do a single thing. The Rift does everything, and it also benefits allies.
Almost the same can be said about the Barricade. Although it doesn't boost stats per se or has any special abilities depending on subclass (except when running certain exotics) it provides one of the most valuable assets in all of Destiny 2 gameplay: cover. It's some sort of middle ground between the Rift and the Dodge skill-wise. The ability to offer cover is pretty good per se, but the real benefits exist when the Titan already knows how to use cover effectively.
Aaaaand, it also helps teammates.
Dodge is a "selfish" ability, that only benefits yourself and only if you're skilled enough to use it properly.
It's one of the most useful skills in a straight up 1v1, but it's balanced by the lack of substantial objective advantages and ease of use.
Ps. The guy talking about Icarus Dash has a point. To be fair, it's the only ability I believe it's truly unbalanced in the game as it allows Warlocks to basically cross over into the other classes' niche (in this case, the Hunter's control over movement and momentum). The same could be said of the Glacioclasm ability of Behemoth Titan, before it was nerfed into the ground.
The same should be done to Icarus Dash. It offers almost the same benefits to dodge, with a shorter cooldown, 2 uses with Heat Rises, and the capability of keeping momentum (the Hunter's dodge only shifts momentum, since it moves at a fixed speed).
It's either nerfed, or removed in my opinion.
@@TerraTheWise it is reactionary, but it is also slower to activate (gotta jump first), travels less distance, and now only has one charge so its kind of an apples to oranges situation.
@@Autipsy How is it an apples to oranges situation if you just made 3 direct comparisons?
TTD can do all that and a lot more. As a hunter main there is no reason to play any Hunter class over warlock atm
i first watched this when i first began. now im watching it again almost 6 months later and how true this was... i salute your accuracy mr shadow destiny

Give it time dude. If you enjoy playing you'll get there
I started playing last month, & I already know that being a hunter is my calling. It just feels right. I loved being a gunslinger, but I wanted to try the other subclasses. I found out that void was the bane of my existence & I simply couldn't get the hang of it unless it was channeled through a void weapon. But I also discovered that being an arcstrider made my character feel complete. I'm still able to play a gunslinger if I have to, but the more I work on my arc build, the more I fall in love. (Sorry Cayde)
Update: Almost a year playing this game, and I am still going strong as an arc hunter. I’m capable of using other subclasses, but very much an arcstrider. Also if I were any more Hunter Main, my teammates would have to physically put a leash on me to keep me from racing ahead & getting myself killed lol

after watching the video a third time after a while i can proudly say im an tier 10 hunter main
Let’s gooo
My brother was a Hunter main since the early alpha days of d1. I watched him decimate and destroy Crota, Oryx, Taniks, Atheon, all of the raid bosses with my own eyes. Once I began playing d2. It was like I was picking up the torch that he left in d1. Becoming a hunter main felt like it was in my blood all along. But sadly I have an addiction to STOMPEES....
Stupid fox
@@Dr.Vinheim stupid anime profile
@@somedudewhospamsballoons2707 ;(
He carried on the legacy but got addicted to cocaine 😂
I swapped to warlock in an effort to teach my new light friend a few things. Though I did really good with my warlock and proved to be a natural, I just can’t go without my dodge 😂
Omg, lol. 100% correct! U forget “Dances everywhere all the time on top of and in front of everything, capping control zones, over players, every defeated boss ever, the Tower sweeper bot, Zavala’s office to his mixtape in front of the cat, on top of Sepiks Prime…”.
As a Warlock main, I can confirm after trying all 3 classes extensively, Hunters just play the easiest and have the least amount of drawbacks EXCEPT when it comes to air-time.
Otherwise, the amount of versatility, utility, ability spam, exotics, and supers are just MAD good. The only 1 I had the most trouble using was Golden Gun (bottom tree). BUT, the others were stupid good/easy.
But, my primary issue is how well Bungie designed Hunters to synergize ability cooldowns with their class ability, which is in turn tied to their Mobility stat (which is just insanely high, always).
When I play a Warlock, I never use top-tree dawn. EVER. I think it's busted, unfair and a waste to some other interesting/fun builds for both PvE and PvP. Movement shouldn't be what makes you win, but unfortunately it kinda is.
I have never felt more gratified playing a Warlock in PvP being a heavy support role with Well or bottom-tree Arc rifts w/ Boots of Assembler. They are very balanced (NOW), and offer a completely new playstyle for Warlocks that feels fun and refreshing.
As for when I switch to Titan, I feel like I can only take 2 or 3 subclasses types into Crucible and that's stasis, solar (any) and bottom-tree Arc w/ Insurmountable Skull Fort. Otherwise, I am dogsh*t in crucible w/ a Titan. They move slow unless equipping Dunemarchers, they take forever to use their barricade resulting in quick deaths (and sometimes aren't safe anyway), their hit registration for melee is DUMB (for Stasis and Arc supers/melees) and often misses/disconnects from target, and to top it off: their momentum game just doesn't exist unless you're using Dunes.
Meanwhile as a Warlock or Hunter, I am moving around freely w/ no issues at all and don't need some stupid exotic slot taken up for it.
Essentially, what I argue about here is that Hunters and Warlocks got it good: Wallrocks have stupid easy supers that are ALL just very very good to use in PvP (per playstyle). Hunters have their overall gunplay/utility spam game MUCH better than Warlocks, and results in them getting their super SOONER than the Warblock or Tintin w/out investing their stats into Intellect.
What do titan's have? A 3 good supers (each taking forever to get), Dunes for better movement (maybe Syntho/AC/DC Feedback), and very bad utility-game.
This video highlighted some of those areas in the beginning, but man oh man when I switched from Warlock to Hunter for a Trials run w/ buddies, it was SO much better to be able to dodge into cover, spam grenades, or even just have more melee uses because Gambler's dodge. Warlock was good too, but man: I have to wait 3-4 rounds to get my super?! What a joke! That Rift doesn't save you from bullets!
So, anyways, loved the video. Thanks for taking the time out of your day reading my lengthy rant, or what have you. You don't have to agree w/ my views on Hunters/Titans/Warbirds, and that's just A-ok w/ me! :)
Hunter main or not, be safe out there.
I'll see you in the Crucible, Guardians. :D
Was that an essay
Who?
Hunters least dps and most useless inside of pve compared to other classes. Also the slowest class even though they are supposed to have highest mobility. PvP is where they shine and are relatively good. But each class has its up sides vs downsides, saying it is the easiest or (Least amount of drawbacks) entailed with it is completely untrue.
@@AIM4HV as a solo player invisibility is amazing
@@AIM4HV I can't tell when a dude is bad at the game when he says that hunter has the worst mobility lmao. Mobility isn't only the speed you have on a straight line big boy.
The titan path is surprisingly similar, except stage 10 is fully accepting that yeah, the other classes see us as a walking melee key and meme.
And we embrace that, punching every damn cursed thrall we see :D
I have thousands of hours in destiny and im primarily as a warlock main. Speaking from experience the moment I switch to titan for some pinnacles I get an unquenchable thirst for crayons and a lust to punch every exploding enemy in the face. Titans are a strange phenomenon
Not a titan main, but you can use your empowered melee if you tag them on the leg or something, then launch them, they explode after. So satisfying
@@spetmember8799 we are indeed strange. But I mean, you make a melee class that can also survive the suicide enemies (usually) and you don't expect it to punch them?
The explosions are so pretty too :)
10:37 I can confirm this is 100% true
but hey, it's pretty difficult to change the hand cannon and Shotty because you get so used to combo those two and call it a day
3:40 I have a titan friend who does all of this, mostly crapping on literally anything the hunter has, or anything else that's meta, and complain that bungie just hates titans. But I've also done this a little bit (because let's be real, the hunter is the only class with no grenades that can one shot a guardian, GG is the only class with 0% damage resist, and the throwing knife is almost always a hail mary), but after some fuming, I came to the conclusion that I just need to hit my shots. Vigilance Wing isn't very meta rn, and requires a certain amount...of...vigilance...to use. I'll leave now

I been building all 3 characters since the first days of Destiny 1 but I went from bein a warlock main in the early days to Titan in late game D1 and from the transition to D2 and late late D1, I became a hunter main. I went flawless so many times as a hunter and just loved shredding everything. Point is, you’ll just transition through every class. Get good
Just getting back into destiny I’m happy I found your channel dude

That ship on 1:21 from d1 hit diffrent. Was my go to ship for a long time
This is so accurate lol. I switched to warlock for a couple season a while ago and came back to hunter and haven’t looked back since
Then there is a stage at the start where people watch such awesome videos and try to gain advantages by learning from the beginning :D
I have one of each subclass and really do enjoy sunbreaker titan, but my hunter is my main and my go-to for new missions, that's my comfort zone and my most detailed build
Currently in the Fashion stage, made myself a God of Thunder with FR05T335 Pathfinder grips and a few others, all with Celestia or similar shaders.
I love how absolutely spot on this video is 😂
Edit: although, I have never really complained about what the others have that i don’t. I just need to be fast.
Thankfully my Hunter growing pains were learned in D1. Then I cried when they took away blink.
Mained Liar's Handshake until Arc 3.0
Swapped to Sixth Coyote & will never swap off blink. Amplified blink is amazing & we look better than Warlocks while we do it.

You forgot to mention in the fasion stage that hunters now make a goal to acquire every single exotic hc which leads them into gambit and crucible
As a Hunter main, I love this. Plus, Star Eater Scales makes us easily the most powerful class.
Fun fact, that animation now does exist in game, its the animation for when the hunter transcends with the prismatic subclass added in the final shape
Dude I burst out laughing when the fashion part came up, because I got obsessed with my appearance a few months after I started
I was a warlock main in D1. Then in D2 i realized that healing other people is dumb and killing someone on a 100 mobility high jump arc strider build is much more fun.
no one will see this but as a hunter main.. i shed a tear to the accuracy of this mans video
Throughout my experience with hunter, I have undergo through several subclass. None of the subclass has hit this fantasy of hunter being an agile class. Night stalker kinda felt close with spamming dodge but it's not enough. Mask of Bakirs locking out cooldowns made stray away from revenant even though I love the animation of it.
But then comes Strand in Lightfall and....oh my...it's...perfection. I can finally live out the fantasy of being agile with grapple, grapple melee, and ensnaring slam. It gave me a new light and enhance my experience with hunter overall.
