I haven't played Hunter much (and I didn't in D1 either) but I still don't really understand why you'd pick them over Titan/Warlock. Like it seems like whatever they do can be done better by the others? Granted I haven't PLAYED one so maybe I'm missing something, but I don't know why you'd play a Hunter.

The difference between classes is what they buff for the group and whether or not you have the Warlock's lovely jump. I'm not a super world first raider or anything but your class feels like the most meh thing to min/max in this game.

YOU TRIED LSD
So what's the best way to level an alt to take advantage of higher level exotic rewards and exotic quests? Should I smash through the campaign, equip all my high level stuff then open my rewards or is it better to level to 20 outside of the campaign doing public quests and stuff, equip the gear and then finish it?

ok basically-

Gunslinger- celestial nighthawk golden gun- one of the highest and fastest single target dps in the game
nightstalker- tether- incredible orb generation and big group wide damage boost and great ad control -also can spec smoke bomb for group invisibilty or to disorient ads. The exotic boots that give super energy back based on # tethered is incredible, you can get super back instantly
Poledancer- super does great damage for both adds and bosses and can stunlock bosses, especially with the raiden flux chest piece

the weapon reload dodge is great for boss dps- not as good as the titan short wall or warlock rift with the exotic boots that provide reloads though. Titan short wall is a bit finicky for people other than the titan (and sometimes the titan) to use to be fair.

hunters are also very mobile in pvp, and even though grenades are all around weaker hunter grenades have some nice utility or power(ie. tripmines, skip grenade tracking, smoke + grenade wombo combo)

Reload dodge is great with merciless, especially in the baths.

Do campaign up to last mission, gear up as much as you can stand grinding, smash last mission, get sweet loot. Not sure if it's worth grinding even earlier, since I don't know if the quest that gives you Sunshot comes before/after you unlock Strikes.

or have some locations during the semi-'inside' section where you have to defend the generator thing? never could find any there even though the indicator was on

Same locations each time. At the end of that section, look behind you at the room and you should see it high up. Didn't find any others.

I did this nightfall 5 times, 3 of which were failures. gently caress it so hard. It's bad enough as a regular strike.

that's how we're doing it, except the random is on comms by himself. We just want to get it done and get the rat king but our friends haven't caught up. Doesn't seem like anyone in the Bone Krew overflow is high enough either unless people are on alts.

So the new trials thing. In order to get to the spire and get the trophy, you do NOT need to have a flawless card? You just need to win once? Or did I misunderstand. Because at the rate at which I was being hosed last weekend I'm not sure I see a flawless run in my future.

I've gotten 30 exotics and 20 duplicates.

4 pairs of lunafaction boots
3 skulls of ahamkara
3 Starfire protocol
2 prospector
2 merciless
2 of the other two warlock helms
3 DARCIs
List goes on

It's to a point where it feels like there aren't any more exotics for me to get.

Also my clan raid engram is broken again and won't send to me despite us finishing the raid and everyone else in the fireteam getting it.

Clan engrams are for doing the raid as a clan group. You have to do it with them (I think guided games still count?). I'm not sure if the raid requires a full 6 from one clan or just a certain number but I assume it's all six.

The raid weapons feel lackluster. I used the handcannon and scout for the first two capture the flag runs. Switched to the trials handcannon and scout for the last two rounds and had more fun sliding around and switching between them.

I used the Sudden Death through every encounter but the final. I have next to no experience with shotguns at this point, but obviously it kicks yellow bars in the teeth. It killed my dog in the pleasure gardens. I forget how many stacks we had, but quiver/nades/shotgun got the job done in one phase.

AR owns and I regularly have a 66 round clip

pulse rifle shreds due to Having outlaw and kill clip

The rocket launcher has cocoon and cluster bombs and is therefore the best in the game

The sword has both of the best sword perks in one

Apparently the sniper has some insane ADS speed and AA but I dunno because I don't loving have it

I think the SMG is extremely good?!!!
