Petition to remove all hunters (including my own) from Destiny.
These hunters clearly cant think logically as to why Bungie would nerf it, when Bungie always nerfs (overnerfs regardless) with good reason. So I'll explain:
Hunter has the highest performing crucible KD in the game as Gunslinger, and it has the largest majority of players. That insinuates most people play better just by being a hunter. Let's talk super.
Golden Gun is instant kill. You get three shots normally. It has NO Travel Time so distance is irrelevent. It is affected by Bullet Magnetism and has it's own AA rating well over 100%. You can Throwing Knife kill in GG for more duration. You can use Combustion which gives GG an instant Kill on AoE proc if someone is even [b][i][u]tickled[/u][/i][/b] by it. Or GG can use Gunfighter which makes reduces its cooldown by 30 seconds, making it the fastest charging super in the game at 3:30 with max intellect. You have a perk called Keyhole that causes Golden Gun to penetrate multiple targets in an linear line, and proc Combustion on all of them. You have a perk called Over The Horizon that lets you use Golden Gun from sniper range. You can have both Keyhole AND Over the Horizon.
All that plus Achlyophage:
A 4 shot, instant speed, aim assisted, bullet magnetized super that is instant kill, can have its duration increased indefinitely for as long as youre getting throwing knife kills, can Keyhole penetrate multiple enemies in a singular line with one bullet while proccing Combustion on each one that instant kills anyone it touches, and you can have it every 3:30 if you sacrifice Combustion.
TL:DR
Stop complaining. Everyone says Hunters are balanced even though they maintain the highest totals AND averages in the game. Stop whining for buffs on your already top tier class.
Edit: Achlyophage was my preferred exotic for ALL of year one. But I completely understand and am happy they nerfed it. It was the only exotic I ran, period. Bungie saw lots of people doing the same thing. Its the first good nerf Bungie has done since they changed Thorn the second time (after it's first buff).

-blam!- gunslinger arc blade has always been better
-
Arc blade is better for no skilled plebs [spoiler]like you[/spoiler]
-
Bruh, stop trying to put circle of life in your reasoning here... Who the -blam!- has ever gotten a knife kill while in GG
-
Keyhole and combustion can only be used together if you have nighthawk...
-
Uhh, no? Keyhole is a perk in the third to last column. Combustion is in the third from first column. Nice try.

My bad i had a brain fart

Not to hate on your post or anything, but I have to disagree. As stated by many others, you did lump together all the gunslinger perks as if they're all used at the same time. Then again, this isn't about the potency of gunslinger. This is about the Achylophage symbiote. Yes, there are some perks that can increase its effectiveness but, circle of life and keyhole aren't those perks. I for one, used the Achylophage because I found myself frequently missing GG shots, although popular opinion seems to think it impossible. With the shortened duration, it's as if even when I miss, I can't make it up because GG usually evaporates after the third shot. It [b]seems[/b] as if you assumed that Achylophage was the most used gunslinger exotic, I'm inclined to disagree. I myself alternated between it and knucklehead radar. [spoiler]Tl;dr Achylophage deserved the nerf about as much as sunbreaker's cauterize and blast radius did.....so not at all.[/spoiler]

Nerf Arcblade! Nerf Arcbolt grenades! Nerf Backstab! Nerf Hungering Blade! Nerf Quickdraw! Nerf Golden Gun! Nerf Tripmines! Sound familiar?
-
Sounds like year one.

[quote]No?[/quote] Double "No?"

Pease don't tell me that you used "Circle of Life" as a point in your argument and you were completely serious. Circle of life is the worst perk on any subclass in the game.
-
Im pretty sure the title of most useless perk belongs to "CHANCE to spawn an orb when you kill an enemy with Scorch"
-
No, circle of life is the worst.
-
It's true. I don't know why he listed it. -.-
-
Go play Barbie Princess and stop whining about hunters.

Edited by JeV: 1/11/2016 8:50:01 AMGo play Hello Kitty Adventure Island till you can average a positive KD, little girl. :)
-
Agreed

What's funny is that the Symbiote wasn't overpowered in Y1. People bitched when it first came out but after a week, they realized the 4th shot rarely came into play.
-
Says you, you weren't a Defender having to deal with a hail of those shots.
-
OH NO! SOMEONE USED THEIR SUPER AGAINST ME AND BEAT MINE! NERRRFFF NERFFFF IT NERF IT NOW! WAAAAAAHHHHH! [spoiler]tbh you should be able to at least try to counter it.[/spoiler]
-
I never cried nerf and in year 1, EVERY super beat the bubble. I still got by and still do as a Defender. Now go be obnoxious somewhere else.

Finally someone gets it thank you. When are we gonna talk about bringing the average hunter KDR closer to 1.0 now
