Hunters are already underperforming in PvE, the last two contest mode dungeons they’ve had less than a 10% usage rate, and LFG posts are actively saying “NO HUNTERS” for Rite of the Nine.
Why? WHY? Are you making this change???
This better come with MASSIVE buffs to melee damage in PvE or else Hunter as a class is just completely dead in PvE.
Ridiculous and utterly incompetent.

This is actually crazy. If they actually do this im not about to play. They acting like it was OP
-
Hunters, for the most part, will be unusable if this happens. I won’t main it anymore. If they’re trying to bring people back, this isn’t how to do it.
-
Sounds like a very dumb change.
-
That's so messed up, because I run my pvp build around gamblers dodge and use Liar's handshake, plus this buff when you get melee kills, sometimes I was able to clutch 1v3 because of all this working combined, it's so messed up Guess I'll have to change

Edited by Ghostfire239: 6/4/2025 11:20:15 PMThat throws so many decent builds out of the window. What the actual -blam!- is wrong with them? Such a completely unnecessary change.

Edited by Joulevette12: 6/5/2025 11:54:11 PMEven with melee buff it won't be enough because hunter has too many exotic that realize heavily on gambler dodge melee *Mask of fealty *Shards of Galanor *Khepris sting *Athrys Embrace *Liar handshake *Calibans hand *Ophidia spathe *Sealed of Ahamkara *Exotic Class items That's a lot of exotics that just died lol

They are doing it because they have literally ZERO clue how this game works because they don’t play it and the only insight they get is from people who play 24/7 as a career and guess what: Those people make money off of videos on new builds. Those changes help them make money. Not us play the game.

It is the case, as you state, that Bungie are completely incompetent. This entire change to multiple systems looks like a clusterfuck just waiting to happen. More nerfs are on the way.

not final, and maybe is just a nerf to ascension

What does it give back?

[quote]Hunters are already underperforming in PvE, the last two contest mode dungeons they’ve had less than a 10% usage rate...[/quote] Source for this? Genuinely curious.

Its only like titans losing 15% of its melee energy from shoulder charge

Please tell me you’re kidding.

Ridiculous and utterly incompetent.[/quote] I assume it is tied to your melee stat, as that influences the energy gain from external sources. I am okay with that in terms of preventing you from being able to entirely ignore a stat, but they should add another perk to it to compensate.
