Makes me sick to see people kicking hunters out of VoG groups because they are "useless". I am going to prove them wrong. Here is how they are amazing in VoG
1. Destroying oracles fast: Got three oracles you need to destroy in less then 5 seconds or else your team die? Not a problem for a gunslinger. They can one shot those oracles
2. Great relic holders: Hunters are best fitted for the relic. They are very fast and quick. The whole team spread out and you need to cleanse them? Not a problem for the Hunter. They are also really good for in the teleporter for Atheon.
3. Clearing out enemies: Got a bunch of supplicants swarming your team on atheon? Get gunslinger and Time Vengeances and you can take out all those supplicants out. Need to help out clear enemies with the shield guy in the teleporter? Not a problem.
Now you know how they are amazing in VoG. What are they are not good out?
1. Cheesing
I laugh at the people who say hunters are useless in VoG. They are the people who want to do it the easy way by cheesing the bosses. I just want to say you guys that think so are pathetic and just so sad.
Well that is it. What you guys think? For those Hunters that do VoG, you guys are the real MVP.
Edit: Thanks for all of the responses and glad to see that many people feel the same way. It is not the class that makes the group succeed, it is the person that is holding the controller. This whole Hunter Discrimination needs to stop.
Edit: I am not a Hunter, yet

Edited by BigLanceLS: 11/7/2014 7:41:54 PMI'm a lvl 30 Hunter and these don't apply on the Hard raid. However, where Hunters are extremely valuable on the Hard raid is on Supplicant duty. One Hunter should be designated as supplicant bitch while everybody else is shooting Atheon. Golden Gun will one-shot the supplicants and saves all the people in the middle from having to dodge supplicants while scrambling away from the center. If there is ever a lvl 29 Hunter in your group on Atheon, they HAVE to be the supplicant guy!! Very useful role for somebody who is a 29 on Hard. Any class can be competent with the relic. More to do with the user than the character. If I'm teleported to Venus on hard, if I'm not the one grabing the relic, I typically will use my 3 golden gun shots on the Praetorian then move on to taking down Oracles with my maxed Atheon's Epilogue. On Mars, I'll take some pot shots at the Hobgoblins so that they aren't shooting the relic holder before moving on to Oracles. All of the classes are good in their own way and you can clear the Vault on Hard with any class as long as you know what you are doing and have a good team dynamic with good communication. I'll also add that more important that what class you are is your weapon loadout. I was lucky with weapon drops a while ago and have maxed Atheon's Epilogue, Praedyth's Revenge and Gjallahorn.
