Hunter Build

[mortal gulch]

Starting up my hunter from scratch, got some decent gear but no exos yet and pulling max weapons off my warlock to help boost up the drops, what are the best builds for hunter and what exotic armors should I be focusing?

[lament jungle]

Get to soft cap max light, then worry about build crafting.

[deft zephyr]

Gyrfalcons Hunter, YAS Hunter, Assassins Cowl/Liars Arc hunter/ Lucky Pants Malfseance strand Hunter are the best hunter pve builds in the game currently

[lament jungle]

Nuh uh

[vernal echo]

lair handshake is bugged and not working properly
lucky pant malfs is okay-ish but why need to do that when you can use other thing ,, maybe for solo stuff with taken enemies only

gyrfalcon void breach build with artifact is strong this season
also berry arc grenade build exist because seasonal artifact mod

OR you can build the tripmine with ahamkara spine , good build that not require seaonal artifact , strong on it own

and the last one probably the " stasis dusk grenade field build " with renewal graps some copium guys still insist it the best build of hunter

[deft zephyr]

anything to see pre nerf renewals get a slither of hope of being unnerfed

[deft zephyr]

lucky pants Malf works in all activities and tbh maybe a biased take easily one of the best in endgame and endgame-latrgame only

[vernal echo]

never like using hc in pve anyway

[deft zephyr]

pretty good as clear dps that makes you feel like your first nut

what is bug with liar handshake?

[vernal echo]

inconsisten of proc cross counter

[mild summit]

i see

[vernal echo]

tldr : the exotic bugged since season of plunder ( arc rework ) and not even acknowledge by bungie

[mild summit]

oh

[vernal echo]

on top of that , cross counter sometime get override by current lethal causing it not proc at all till you die
happen too many time in plunder i just trash the exotic to shard

[mild summit]

yeah if that shock kill i notice it doesnt proc the combination blow used build in solo GOTD and pain

[vernal echo]

it usually happen after the shock chain arc kill , lair handshake will refuse to proc cross counter after 2 or more punch

feel like the exotic just disable itself

and bungie also dont give a flying f about that
