Best hunter build for nuking majors/minibosses?

[graceful blade]

As the title says.

[errant hearth]

Arc with assassin's cowl and a 12 punch shotgun

[plush forge]

Worldline sword does a great job

[low fox]

first over the second 🙏🙏

[iron agate]

liars also good

and prob something good with RDM

[plush forge]

Why not, both!?

[low fox]

because worldline is pretty mid

[stoic dock]

No

[plush forge]

Oh, I defo agree. As far as nuking a champion though with burst dmg, it's pretty top tier. Get invisi with assassins cowl, stun champ, wham, bam, and finish able. 😂

[lapis kiln]

Its a waste of not only a exotic slot but a heavy slot most heavy's can shred and most do better then world

[plush forge]

I'm just responding the specific question man. World isn't practical compared to other heavies, esp in a gm environment.

Most other exotics do NOT do better then world as far as burst dmg is concerned.

If you're just pounding away at a dummy, the dmg output is up there. Esp once you put on a surge or two.

There's other factors to consider here, but generally I'd go for a nice RL build.

[lapis kiln]

Leviathans whisper sleeper lament parasite

[plush forge]

None of those, possibly parasite with enough setup.

World will bring a gm champ down to finishable range in two heavy swings.

Esp not Levi and lament. Also, you won't even touch the definition of "most" other exotics.

I'm not here to say how awesome world is, just saying a fast way to nuke a major /champ

[hollow plank]

Yeah can vouch for it being a good burst champion option, and mediocre and subpar at most other things. Messed around with it with stronghold titan after the buffs

Sleeper and whisper are definitely not burst damage options in the same way

[iron agate]

[humble siren]

You better hide (your right)

Idk maybe - radiant dance machine + marksman dodge + a good rocket launcher

[shrewd narwhal]

Lucky pants, liars handshake

[short flare]

did i hear whisper 🔥 🔥 🔥

best looking and feeling exotic in the game ong frfr 🔥 🔥

[iron agate]

so true on god frfr someone with amazing taste🔥 🔥 🗣️ ‼️

[errant hearth]

sound is definetly the best, optics I'm not too sure

[stoic dock]

No

[humble siren]

Lucky pants maybe?

With a good wardens law sure

[short flare]

only use malf with lucky pants

[errant hearth]

^

Wardens law is cope

[short flare]

i got my "god roll" and never touched it again

like everyone else whose gotten it

[humble siren]

Doesn't it put up similar damage to malf

I know malf has the unstop but idk if that's worth the exotic slot

[short flare]

its worth the exotic slot with lucky pants

[green ether]

Its not

[shrewd narwhal]

And crimson

[short flare]

no

[shrewd narwhal]

Okay lmao

[proven hearth]

Arc Hunter With Combination x3 + Tractor + 1-2 Punch Shotty (Viable even in GM level content)

Malfeasance + Luckypants (if you must maintain distance)

Radiant Dance Machine + 4th Horseman If Not Running Arc

[stoic dock]

Just dont use lucky pants 😄

If you're in the like 2 situations where lucky pants will be good malfeasance is the only option anyway

[winged pilot]

wardens law is actually not bad

probably more useful then malf

[lapis kiln]

Yes

[lapis kiln]

Absolutely not

[winged pilot]

yes

[winged pilot]

more useful not better outright

malf has very few situations where using it is actually worthwile over a real dps strat

you cant really run it in a support role

wardens isnt bad as a backup option for a ghally or tractor player

sitting over stuff like doubleslug/pellet on bosses with decetly easy headshots

[stoic dock]

You also kinda shouldn't

Theres better options but if it's all you got it's fine

[winged pilot]

its got higher dps then slugswapping

way better then fusions

[stoic dock]

Huh guess you learn something new everyday

[winged pilot]

its got like

170k dps its actually devious

surrounded slugs are 150

and non surrounded is like 120

[stoic dock]

Guess it's still got the downside of having to run lucky pants and having to use hunters which arent always preferred

[winged pilot]

can you not start by shootint 2x ghally throwing gs

then loadout swap like in rdm

dodge reload ghally

shoot one more unload wardens until ghally expires

[shrewd narwhal]

Lmao okay dude

[stoic dock]

Ok

[green ether]

Lucky pants arent good

So much better exotics

[short flare]

in the case you'd wanna use lucky pants

crimson isnt worth using and malf is better

wardens law is mediocre too

[ocean bobcat]

wardens law is compareable dmg to malf so up to you which you pick but those 2 are best with it

[humble siren]

Malf has unstop that's prob why it's better

[short flare]

plus it does more damage when a target has witherhoard on it

[stoic dock]

Wardens law is more useful because it isnt exotic

[short flare]

in certain situations

[winged pilot]

malf isnt that useful

because you are outclassed by actual damage rotations

and its exotic so you cant use to to suppliment a support role

[visual bough]

This is burst dps we are talking about no?

[winged pilot]

uh ngl i think this topic has drifted from the inital question

best option for nuking champs and stuff is arc punch

[short flare]

dont think anyone uses malf for dps

[visual bough]

Maybe best burst damage for powerfuls is Arby for barriers and other shield combatants.

I’m not sure about unshielded ones tho

[winged pilot]

its not terrible

objectively its pretty good, its easy

[short flare]

i don't doubt its not terrible

remember being able to do 500k+ with lucky pants and lunas?

[stoic dock]

It's like the perfect middle ground. Imagine thunderlord ease of use but it's actually alright

[winged pilot]

yeah

[humble siren]

Isn't banner of war better?

Also I think they should add a bit more to lucky pants tbh

I wanna use it more but idk

[dull patio]

banner of war is the best thing in the game rn

[winged pilot]

for hunter, arc hunter has better surviability

banner is in an ok niche for gms and stuff

raids its not super useful

[stoic dock]

Arc hunter might unironically be the most loaded class with the best survivability in the game

[humble siren]

I really thiguht banner of war would be better

[winged pilot]

its only got healing

and damage boost wich is good, it deals alot of damage and has good champ stun

[humble siren]

But I don't get it without assasins cowl I don't see how it's more survivable then like solar warlock or titan

[winged pilot]

assasins cowl just that busted

[humble siren]

I think we should combine liars and assasins 😎

Totally balanced

[stoic dock]

It makes you go invis you get a melee damage boost and it refills your dodge and when you dodge all the enemies get blinded near you

And you get healed

[humble siren]

Without assasins cowl

[winged pilot]

doesnt matter without

[humble siren]

But yeah I see it with assasins cowl

[humble siren]

Doesn't the punch blind enemies and not the dodge?

[winged pilot]

think both do

[humble siren]

Also getting that first melee is kind of tough in low level content

[stoic dock]

Forgot honestly

[humble siren]

I would've imagined that wellock was more survivable tbh

[stoic dock]

Both are very survivable but arc hunter goes overboard for no reason
