I’m really looking forward to the Warlock and Titan exotic buffs coming in Renegades, but I have to ask: what happened during the planning phase for the Hunter exotic updates? They feel significantly weaker by comparison.
Take Orpheus Rig and Gemini Jesters, for example. The changes there seem minimal--just a few extra seconds on their effects. That doesn’t really move the needle or make them competitive with the other classes’ buffs.
A few ideas to make them more impactful:
• Orpheus Rig could increase Mobius Quiver to 5 shots instead of 3, and extend the duration of Shadowshot when killing tethered targets.
• Gemini Jester could gain an added perk: when you strike a disoriented target with a melee attack, it triggers a kinetic blast.
The buffs to Graviton Forfeit and Omnioculus look somewhat promising, and Lucky Raspberry might be worthwhile if Arcbolt Grenades get a solid buff. But Orpheus Rig and Gemini Jesters really need another pass. Right now, they just don’t hold up next to the other exotic improvements.
[spoiler] Just to be clear, I'm saying this as a Warlock main. I don't think it's fair to give the Hunters such pitiful Exotic buffs, especially for PvE. [/spoiler]

3 RepliesIt's the go to for bungie, buff titan and warlock and nerf hunter. I also agree with you all the way (I'm also a warlock main but I enjoy playing the other classes just to get them up to speed) about the fact that the new hunter "buffs" need another look
