Okay Hunter mains

If stompees is balanced and doesn’t give a huge advantage over movement and positioning… Why haven’t you taken them off, no no no! Don’t un-equip them now, it’s okay to admit you have a problem—an addiction. We should discuss it. https://youtu.be/uA5gz_SLvgs I’ll just link this here, it’s a well rounded video and does a good job at adressing stompees.

  • I never used stompees. And even then. Stompees give the same benefits as the other movement exotics. Except dunes add a chain lightning and warlock boots reload guns.

    • I almost never use this exotic. I put them on when I need a little extra for a jump but then they come right back off.

          Instantly jumping 3 stories in the air and having a huge advantage with the icarus mod with damn near 100% uptime benefit over other classes needs to be addressed for sure. https://www.xbox.com/play/media/TJZAUDYD

          • The problem isn’t with Stompees. It’s the other exotics. Let’s look at the big 3 in my opinion. Wormhusk, Dragonshadow and Stompees. Two of these get indirectly nerfed every time dodge does. Along with many other exotics built around dodge. What we have left are exotics that only improve 1 thing. Mainly the grenade and melee exotics. With the ability nerfs those exotics got worse. Plus it’s hard to run an exotic that only affects one thing. So here are Stompees that passively buff us, and don’t rely on dodge. It’s a no brainer. Our other exotics suck. Other exotics need to be brought up. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk!

            • Two reasons, one, hunters don’t have exotics that are as strong as the other class’s except for stompees. Two, speed is the best right now. Let’s compare exotics. Stompees to Tsteps, and dunes. They’re all about equal. Stompees give a jump boost whole dunes give you a crazy melee and steps reload. Dragon shadow, you have to burn a dodge in order to get the handling/ speed. Look at ophidians. They give great melee range, and handling, CONSTANTLY. Peacekeepers are nuts, but only work on one weapon type. Wormhusk, compared to OEM this thing is trash. It isn’t bad at all, but OEM is much, much better. Stompees are totally fine, I’m a little tired of the community listening to QP stars that don’t look at the entire story of exotics in destiny. While coolguy has a nice video that comes from a good place, I can do all of the things that I can do on a hunter on a warlock. The only reason I still play hunter all of the time is because I have and attachment to the class, they’re super cool to me. I’ve always liked the fantasy of the hunter class.

              • Few things: Question, what exotic are you running? Have you played Hunter without some sort of speed boost? It’s slow as hell, even at 100 mobility, it’s like playing a guardian with chronic arthritis. Stompees are not the issue, I haven’t used them in like months. The issue is the game currently rewards speed, hunters benefit from mobility massively, stompees are a scalar, thus they get even more speed. But they are actively penalized if they do not move fast, they don’t have rifts or barricades, they don’t heal on kills, their supers are generally pretty vulnerable, lacking either tankiness or range. If you don’t run stompees anyone with a movement exotic can just walk away from your roaming super or be on the other side of the map when you pop Goldie. Hell S&S seems to have gone senile and lost its ability to track targets. But most importantly, you can’t defend very well against shotgun apes who are running speed exotics. You are a class reliant entirely upon speed, and without stompees you are actively slower than [b][i]everyone else[/i][/b]. It’s a Hunter class design problem, not a stompees problem.

                A advantage over movement and positioning? Yet Warlocks are faster letting them get into position first and they still complain about Hunters! 😂😂🤣

                • "huge" - umm as a Hunter main who almost never uses it, I can say it doesn't do much but help you sprint almost as fast as Titans, and lets you jump higher. If you have such an issue countering stompeez, aim higher

                  I rarely use StompEE5s (I pretty much use the fir jumping puzzles exclusively now), so I can’t say that I’m entirely accurate with my opinion. I personally use thing like Dragon’s Shadow, Graviton Forfeit (used to just use it for looks but it’s actually good now). I’d use Mask of Bakris more of it wasn’t locked to Revenant. That being said, I think a lot of Hunters use StompEE5s because they don’t like the way the normal jumps feel. The same thing happened in D1, with Bones of Eao, where almost every Hunter was double Strafe jumps non-stop (myself included). Even with other good exotics being available, many Hunters will often choose something that makes the jump feel better. The normal Hunter jumps are still good imo, but they [u]feel[/u] off. It does feel all that agile. But that’s just my opinion

                  That video quite frankly is not good. It reeks of bias and console player. To be clear if you are on console and think it's a problem because of controller turn speed that's fine, I don't agree with you because I have used a controller on pc and had no issue killing stompee hunters but if you have that perspective then sure. Not going to argue with someone who is essentially playing a different game. To answer the question of why hunter mains havent taken them off, 1. Dont know what game cool guy is playing but before cooldowns were nerfed half of the hunters I saw in PvP, self included, used dragon's shadow. I think that it was always WAY better than stompees. Having handling like that is way more valuable than a jump that is more likely to overcommit you to vertical space that you will get shot out of. 2. Its because hunters have no other exotic geared towards PvP. If we look at exotics that other classes have aside from their movement exotics, warlocks have ophidians and karnstein armlets both of which are extremely good and titans have a number of useful ones such as synthoceps, one eyed mask, peacekeepers and even citans ramparts. The "stompees problem" is rooted in the fact that hunters have no other good exotics except dragons shadow which was just nerfed hard. Wormhusk maybe but that is really all, and not everyone can make wormhusk work because you have to play a certain way that not everyone can get used to. My favourite part of the video is when he gets cammycakes to demonstrate the movement abilities of all three classes. First of all he intentionally tried harder on the hunter, for example he would slide backwards and flick 180 to shoot ONLY when showing off the hunter when you can literally do that on any class and you dont even need a movement exotic. Second of all you can do all that crazy flashy movement but little reminder that this is a shooter game, and if it's me fighting him in that scenario im just going to put down a rift and stand there and shoot him while hes smashing his keyboard trying to be a cracked movement player, 50% of the time of which is spent in an animation which means that he cant shoot back. It is literally just like Apex legends where there is a pandemic of "movement players" who can tap strafe 180 wallbounce superglide in the firing range all day but cant actually shoot straight and who therefore get embarassed by controller players in actual games. I also like it when he plays the clip on altar of flame of him jumping over the warlocks head in slow motion as if its a demonstration of anything that proves anything. Couldve done the same thing with a non enhanced jump. What is he trying to prove. No I am not a hunter main. I play my hunter and enjoy it but I am not biased towards it in any way. What I want is to be able to have fun on all three classes and I would definitely stop playing hunter if stompees were nerfed into the ground, not because I crutch them, like I said I am the most used to dragons shadow, but because hunters would then be left with truly no competition to Warlocks with the movement capability of top tree dawn and the uncontested and ever so helpful handling advantage that they have over the other two classes.

                  • Stompees perks should just be built in to hunter movement so we dont even have to use them. People who complain about hunters are usually very bad at the videogame.

                        Stompee movement should be base hunter movement so I don't need to use an exotic slot. Prove me wrong

                      • I use oathkeepers. To be honest I don’t mind a nerf to stompees as long as they nerf dune marchers and transversive steps in the same manner.
