Best hunter build to make for raids?

celestial nighthawk

I made a longer post but the bot deleted it. can I make a decent celestial nighthawk build that'll work for legendary lost sectors as well?

[slow mist]

yes

[zealous mica]

Cool, thanks. I'll just focus on that then

if you want to midmax, then you would have 2 saved load outs with only armor changes between nighthawk and lucky pants.

for use with lucky pants, is malfeasane or wardens law(for no exotic option)

U shouldnt limit urself to using 1 loadout for every raid

Every encounter in every raid will require something different u should be able to adapt to that and not try to use something that doesnt work as well just cus its good some where else

[zealous mica]

Yeah, I'm just looking for the one main thing to set up as masterworked, and then anything I'd swap to would be less upgraded. Just don't want to invest much more than one build on my hunter

[fresh dawn]

for now sure, but it'll be fun having a movement strand build or star/spathe/pants build for low content and a dps at the boss.
honestly I'd masterwork the low tier build cause you spend more time using it than your super

[zealous mica]

Yeah thats fair. Whats good in that regard these days then? Really enjoying sunbracers warlock and BoW Titan. Not sure whats similar on hunter

[fresh dawn]

lucky pants, star scales are fun mid dps. I have a stompees grapple trinity eager edge for just max speed in strikes

[zealous mica]

Lucky pants might be fun, I'll look into builds with that thanks, Not crazy about star eater design wise so I'll probably just have it as one of the swap exotics lol

[hallow bane]

How r star eaters mid dps

[mystic anvil]

not really mid if you do swapping between Nighthawk and lucky pants. it can do ~700k dmg in 10sec, so you switch between that and heavy you save heavy and make your dps last much longer

after you do a lucky pants dmg make sure to reload then so when outta luck debuff ends you can instantly proc lucky pants without reloading stowing then pulling HC out

its one thing people forget and it stall usage

if they ever do a Heavy Burst HC with auto loading that would help a ton

[gentle prawn]

Star eaters blade barrage are the best stacking damage you can have in a dps phase. Nighthawk only beat it when kinetic surge bug was around.

[slow mist]

tbh celestial still beats it

[gentle prawn]

Celestial is great for champ nuking, but has very little survivability.

[hallow bane]

Survivability?

I dont think ur concern is survivability when ur talking about dmg exotics

[gentle prawn]

Yeah, I thought I was in a different thread when I said that. Apologies.
