is a strand hunter build worth for... raids/ dungeons/ gms?

[foggy geyser]

i wasnt sure what element i wanted for my 2nd character so i wanted to know

[west beacon]

the unravel beyblade spam is decent, yeah

slap on Foetracer and Quicksilver storm and you're good

[foggy geyser]

what about new strand extoic bow?

looks intresting

[west beacon]

idk how it'll perform in endgame

only tested it in sorrows harbor, but seems viable

[foggy geyser]

it looks like a good replacement for quicksilver given the quirk it can do

[west beacon]

yeah it covers unstop pretty well, and barrier if you use the extended suspend duration (when it's available)

[digital pecan]

The bow is ok for a quick suspend in an area but thats about it. The damage for a headshot is a bit more than 8,000 which is great but again it’s just not enough.

[foggy geyser]

does it have a catalyst?

[digital pecan]

No not yet I think but it is getting 4 separate catalysts you can choose from in the enigma or whatever it is called . ( The thing that you use to craft weapons)

[foggy geyser]

o

ill give it a chance

[digital pecan]

It’s either 4 or 5 I would need to check again

[digital pecan]

You should at least have a little hope for it

[foggy geyser]

ye

i like the grapple build u can do

so i might make it around with that

or another

[digital pecan]

I’m using a suspend build with it and it holds out pretty well

[foggy geyser]

what artifacts do i use?

[digital pecan]

I would have to look at the artifact again

[foggy geyser]

o

[digital pecan]

I think there is one that grants you unraveling rounds on strand weapons or something

When you get powered melee final blow

[foggy geyser]

ye

got it

[digital pecan]

I don’t know the rest of them so have a look around for any that seem useful

[rain junco]

Sixth coyote quicksilver w/ whirling maelstrom is peak hunter rn

[weary spindle]

bow is TBD. have to see what cat's do for it

[onyx thicket]

@digital pecan bow has 4 catas. Vorpal, extend suspend duration, suspend more targets, hatchling

Me personally i’d take either vorpal or extended duration

[rugged peak]

last season it was nice

strand hunters kinda just fun rn

I use it for abys in crota

most raids and dungeons are dps based and its super is awful

last season it could generate a lot of ammo

[rugged peak]

hunters are dominating raids rn with solar and have always been great for gms on void

[rugged peak]

I wouldn't go for strand as its not as good as some of the other options for hunter

Celestial GG does more then 2 needlestorms rn

and arc hunter is really fun (not super crazy) And void hunter is super powerful

[west beacon]

whats the 2nd dodge for? decoys?

[rain junco]

Yeah

[west beacon]

hmpf

i like weapon damage more

[rain junco]

Survivability is nice in gms

[west beacon]

damage too

[rugged peak]

yes which strand has the worst of for gms

[rugged peak]

everyone arguing bellow is simply wrong

I would not even bother doing lightfall on hunter this season

it has 0 use in endgames

[rain junco]

Smartest destiny player to ever exist

[rugged peak]

Tf are u on

Titan?

[rain junco]

I play all classes

[foggy geyser]

Okay. What would be great this season for hunter

[rugged peak]

Solar is absolutely incredible putting hunters back on the map with a super that does 2x more then any other super in the game in one shot

Void hunter has incredible survivability and utility for team play

Arc is one of the best for solo dungeons oat

Strand is the only hunter sub to not have a 1 off super

[rugged peak]

CEL GG does more dmg then 2 needle storms and 1.5 thunder crashes in 5 seconds

[foggy geyser]

What's best for dungeons / raids?

[rugged peak]

Dungeons arc with assassins coil is great especially for solo

Raids you can run shards with blade barrage for encounters with low amount of dps required and gold gun marksmen celestial for all encounters with a precision spot and a dps part

[rugged peak]

For team raids and dungeons omni can be used kinda depends but if you want a tether omni is the play as it can make the whole team invis for long periods of time

Its up to preference tho

All the light subclasses on hunter are viable

[foggy geyser]

Ah

[rugged peak]

Both dark subclasses on hunter are less used in raids but if you want to run one use stasis not strand as it has more utility

[foggy geyser]

What build is there?

Like weapon and armor

[digital pecan]

Thanks I didn’t know since I couldn’t check at the time

[digital pecan]

Ehh strand has its place

[digital pecan]

If you do want to go stasis the only one that is good is renewal grasps but mask of bakris can be useful

[vestal sparrow]

just a word of advice

ignore anything hyena says 🙏

[digital pecan]

Will do 🙏

[onyx thicket]

unless hes agreeing with one of us

[vestal sparrow]

not even 💀

that guy never know what he's talking about

he yaps about fusions anytime they're brought up

[rain junco]

[digital pecan]

I can imagine a carton head popping out behind cover and saying “You guys talking about fusions?Without me!?”

[foggy geyser]

artifact?

[digital pecan]

Pillar of ice and hail of storm I think are the only ones that affect the abilities of stasis.Also always pick up overload rockets if you can on your artifact.

[foggy geyser]

oki

[vapid trench]

Strand hunter?

Uhh

Whirling maelstrom or however you spell it is pretty cool

I don't think you would use strand hunter in raids or dungeons tho

Maybe it could be good in a GM with the new bow

With green beyblade

But I don't play GM's

[rain junco]

its pretty good i've used it a couple of times for gms this season already

[rugged peak]

Why?

It does unstops without being on strand

[vapid trench]

Yeah

It's suspend on any class

[rugged peak]

Yeah

So why play the class with the less ability to kill the suspended add

[vapid trench]

He asked about strand hunter being good

So I told him what I knew

[rugged peak]

Instead of like solar with radiant and picking off kills to get more knives

[rugged peak]

No he didn't

[rugged peak]

His focus was info about raiding and dungeons and gms

[digital pecan]

Are you blind

Look at the title
