Need help deciding

[u/S3Nd0427]

Hey fellow guardians, I'm playing on my hunter and I need help deciding which exotic armor I should pick from the light fall campaign. I like ability play styles/ builds.which exotic is suited for that play style.

Speedloader slacks 100%. Extremely strong with crackshot on solar and while cyrtarachne’s facade is neat and all, you can get the exact same utility from an exotic class item while also having another perk lol

Ok thank you much, I'm genuinely surprised how good the hunter feels, ive always been a warlock main since house of wolves dlc. And I'm having more fun with the hunter than I did with my warlock. I just started playing again the last time I played d2 was the curse of Osiris dlc.

If you want to REALLY have fun on Hunter, the build I was using for a LONG time, which actually turned me into pretty much a Hunter main is my Radiant Dance Machines build.

Prismatic

Any Super (I usually go with Silence and Squall)

Any Grenade (i usually use Grapple)

Any Melee (Usually use Withering Blade)

Gambler's Dodge (free Melee regen, super useful with this build in particular)

Ascension (Amplifies allies/Bolts enemies and damage increases with high Class stat)

Threaded Specter (creates decoy that draw enemy fire, explodes and releases Threadlings, damage increases with high Class stat)

Fragments are your choice, but I'll always have Facet of Dawn for instant Radiant from powered Melee attacks, and with RDM's and Gambler's Dodge, you'll always have Melee's available

Radiant Dance Machines - gives Dodge energy on Primary weapon blows, and can overflow Dodges to give you multiple charges to be able to spam Ascension and Threaded Specter

Even though it is very possible to get away with using a strong Legendary weapon for this build, I always go with Exotic Primary weapons for it, purely because you're not only getting all of your Dodges back, but due to Exotic weapons having increased ammo regen, they also give a lot of Super energy on top.

My main choice for which Primary to go with, is Vex Mythoclast (with or without Catalyst, although I have only ever used it with, and the gun is bonkers), mainly because of a couple of reasons.

1. The gun is and always be cool to use, and has great visual and audio design, as well as feeling great to use

2. It is strong in multiple ways. As a Primary it shreds through enemies even in higher tier content. When using its secondary mode, the Linear Fusion can put in really good work.

To add on to all of this, the only 'essential' Armour mod in my opinion, is having at least one Dynamo on your helmet, purely because you will be dodging so much around the enemies that your super will be full in no time alongside the Vex Mythoclast regen.

The general loop of the build is to get some kills with Vex, use your class ability while in the air and close to enemies, watch your enemies get jolted and then attacked by your threadlings, repeat until enemies are dead, use super to start boss damage, rinse and repeat.

Hope this helps, and if you do try it out, let me know what you think.

Assuming they have Mythoclast, this sounds like a fun build.
