Hunter's Dodge

[Psycho]

Do you think Hunter has the worst class ability?

Titan can place a shield down
Warlock can create a healing ring

I main Hunter but I never even use the dodge because it seems pointless. I guess maybe in PvP it would be good... but do you guys think it's the worst class ability out of the 3?

How is this a troll post?? I'm talking about an ability

You make no sense

Because the hunter dodge is amazing, so asking if it sucks and saying it's pointless is a troll or just a really weird take. Can make you invis, reload your gun at the same time, refresh melee ability allowing non stop chains of permanent invis combined with massive add clear. If anything it's likely the best class ability for pvp and pve but all of them have their different uses.

It's one of the most broken utilities in the game if you don't suck at playing hunter lol

Well I'm not a troll I'm just new to the game. I started playing a few days ago. It's not like I knew it could do all of that stuff. That's why I made a thread to discuss about it

I you aren't using your dodge then you should seriously consider playing another class or reconsidering your build as you're wasting massive potential.

I didn't know it was that good. I'm glad it is though. I thought it was a bad ability

Says you have 217 hours in the game so figured you were just taking the piss.

Destiny playerbase at its finest. Everyone 4k+ h in game and totally forgotten that they started one day as well and were shooting bosses with primary weapons etc.

As for the dodge it is not really powerful in itself. It is just a roll, sure you can evade but it is about its utilities. You can pick to reload your gun, or fill your melee ability if enemies are rather close. This can lead to powerful loops paired with the right exotic.

For instance, Ahamkara arms with tripmines allow to have almost permanentely melee and nades (tripmines) up. On top Gunpowder Gamble aspect would give a big shootable bomb every 3 ability or 6 solar weapon defeats. Nice to pair with it.

Void hunter can go invisible upon dodge and there are exotics that buff it further as Graviton Forfeit.

Wormhusk mask gives now around 70? (prior 44) HP back each dodge.

You want to reload all weapons and have that melee reload dodge (gambler's dodge) and have faster handling? Take Dragon's Shadow chest piece.

These are some examples and there are also mods that allow to use it more often as Utility Kickstart or some void mod on class item (cape). Aim for 100 Mobility.

Take your time and see it is worthwhile but nothing wrong to test the other classes as well.

Have Fun

Thanks. I'm actually really glad it's better than i thought. I'm gonna try using it in fights more.. I didn't know about the reloading it does

Actually yesterday i played my first strike and my teammate went invisible after they dodged. I didn't know how they did it til now

I think both dodges are available from the start but maybe visit Ikora in the middle of the Tower map to buy the missing Ability alternatives and Aspects/Fragments. Don't forget to 'meditate' after buying right next to her to get them.

Right click on your subclass symbol on character screen (top left) to pick what you see fit. I would go for Gambler's Dodge (melee refill) over Marksman (reload) as there are also perks as Auto Loading Holster or as I mentioned Dragon's Shadow that allows to reload ALL weapons and buffs mobility + handling for 10s. A bit boring but so are stompees

Assassin's Cowl (Shadowkeep exotic) grants invisiblity with all subclasses after charged melee or finisher. But void is a solid choice especially for harder content. I slept on arc and just came back. It seems very strong but flickers too much. Also I play least Hunter most WL.

There is lot to try out especially with the 3.0 subclasses.
