While on stream I asked Datto how long he had been on the boss for, he said "over 10 hours across multiple days, just trying to get a kill on the boss not even solo flawless". I was there when he GAVE UP.
Hunters for a while now have had issues with survivability outside of kill triggers, Vespers Host however has put a magnifying glass on this issue.
Hunters should not need a specific weapon (VS velocity baton) with a specific roll (attrition orbs) to have comparable survivability to the other classes. That is completely ridiculous. Datto said it took him 2 attempts to get solo flawless on warlock and titan. He can't even get a boss kill on hunter. A day one raider, a famous streamer, a person who's JOB it is to play this game can't even get it done. In his guide to soloing the dungeon he straight up said "Don't use hunter".
I was able to solo flawless Vesper's Host, but I had to be completely perfect in my run and do loadout swaps during DPS. I had to rely completely on a heal clip weapon for survivability. The other two classes can roam around without too much worry while Hunter has to put in 10 times as much effort as the other classes. That is an issue in balancing and Hunter needs a buff in the survivability department.
BUFF HUNTER SURVIVABILITY IN PVE. WORMHUSK IS THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE A KILL AND IT IS GARBAGE. PLEASE GIVE HUNTERS SOME KIND OF PASSIVE HEALING LIKE THE OTHER TWO CLASSES HAVE. PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU.
