Those Hunter exotic buffs are...disappointing

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]

  • Orpheus Rigs' duration improvement might make it possible to chain Tether against bosses that aren't easy to Tractor Cannon, so that's something, though really only relevant in Raids. I'm more annoyed that nothing was said about Skip Grenades and Shinobu's Vow, but Lucky Raspberry got a tuning pass that still won't make anyone use it outside of mid-tier content.
