Hunters are the agility class. Movement is supposed to be their specialty. Then why can the Warlocks and Titans move faster and jump higher than hunters? The jumps "focused burst" and "increased control" have made Warlocks and Titans faster than hunters since the game launched. Of course, Titans can pair that with shoulder charge and twilight garrison to become the fastest subclass, easily out-running a bladedancer's arc blade. I would now like to quote Commander Zavala in step 5 of the bladedancer crucible quest. "Bladedancers lack the Striker's strength, but even a Striker must admit the Bladedancers move at a velocity Strikers can only hope to match." —Commander Zavala.
Hunters feel like they don't have solid place in destiny anymore. The one thing that made them the class that I chose to by my first character and my favorite character is nonexistent in actual gameplay. I don't feel like Bungie wants me to play as a Hunter, especially considering the recent patches that nerfed almost everything about Hunters. (Not to mention, didn't nerf shoulder charge. I mean seriously, I can throw a throwing knife, burning with the immaculate solar energy of the traveler, into someones head from across the map, and it doesn't kill them. But a guy presses the right bumper, nudges me with his solder, and gets a one hit kill...) Sorry, went on a rant there. My point isn't to bash on the other classes, its to get the Hunters the boost they need to become the REAL agility class.
I believe that the Bones of eao exotic effect should be standard across all hunter subclasses. (Without wearing the armor.) The Bones are my go-to exotic with my Hunter. They just feel natural at this point, exactly as high as a hunter should be able to jump. I want all Hunters to be able to jump like this. Not having to sacrifice the natural feel of their Hunters to wear a revive item while playing trials or specifically having to wear the bones to complete a jump puzzle in a raid. Of course this would make the Bones useless, so replace the perk with a permanent battle runner effect (raising top sprint speed.) or just give battle runner while a super is active, something like that.
If you believe in this cause (and managed to read this far haha) please bump this post to raise awareness. Thank you for your time

The new perk for the bones should allow hunters triple jump to be used for sideways movement. It wont be like evade, since you dont disapear, and it would be as fast.
