When seeing the hunter Acolyte it got me wondering. Why Acolyte, it feels as though they didn't have another option. Witch and knight are of comparable power level just different paths. I always thought Acolyte was before you would pick one of those paths.
Of course this is just my understanding, so if someone knows of lore that would provide concrete info regarding hive evolution please share!

Well, i think thats because a acolyte was kind of the only option that made sense. Warlocks use the light in different ways than the other classes. Wizard. Titans are strong and hit their enemies with everything they got. Knights. The options left are ogres, shriekers, thrall and acolytes. We can cut ogres, because they arent agile or fast in any way, sams for the shrieker. Thrall is the weakest of the hive, and inly really win by swarming the enemy. Not like a hunter at all. So really, acolytes is the better option.
