Destiny 2 Hunter BuildShattering Strike

THIS BUILD WILL BE MUCH BETTER IN EDGE OF FATE!!! (I will also add Artifact Perks when they release)

Class item perks: Inmost Light/Coyote

In-Depth Breakdown (for nerds like me🤓):

Super: Totally up to you, I just like tether because it is great for dps or support, an you you can still spam your abilities, instead of waiting for a roaming super to end. It also means you get an overshield on orb pickup thanks to facet of purpose, which is incredible for survivability. My other choice would be golden gun, because it is even better for dps, especially if you hotswap to a celestial nighthawk loadout.

Dodge: NEEDS to be Gambler's, Marksman is kinda 💩 and Acrobat's takes WAY too long. Gambler's means whenever you use your Ascension, you will get one Withering Blade charge back.

Melee: Withering Blade is the best. Two charges means you can insta-freeze an enemy for shatter dps on a boss, or for the ad-clear. More than that, it'll create Stasis Shards with Facet of Awakening, and will fill up your Darkness Transcendence meter very fast.

Grenade: Grapple is the best in my opinion, but this one doesn't matter too much. I prefer Grapple for the Darkness Transcendence and the extra mobility, good for getting you out of tight situations.

Aspects: Ascension: A key aspect of this build. Quickly fills up your Light Transcendence and is incredible for ad-clear. Also provides enough ability kills to charge up Gunpowder Gamble with only one Ascension. You also get two charges, and when Edge of Fate releases, it will also trigger HOIL, so you can use it whenever you want.

Gunpowder Gamble: Massive Damage Grenade, triggers HOIL, gives Light Transcendence, and you are able to Grapple to it. It is difficult, but so much fun to fly really far.

Fragments: Awakening/Honor: Lots of Elemental Pickups from Ascension, Gunpowder Gamble, Withering Blade, Lotus-Eater, and Grapple. And, with Facet of Honor, picking them up gives huge amounts of bonus transcendence energy.

Courage: Ascension and Gunpowder Gamble do more damage if enemies have been hit by Withering Blade first. This also means if you are using Golden Gun, it also does more damage. This means when you are dps-ing a boss, you can spam all you abilities and have bonus damage.

Purpose: Pretty simple, Overshield on Orb pickup, great for survivability.

Hope: Using Ascension gives you Amplified, which gives you Ascension back. Overshield and other buffs also give your Ascension back.

Exotic Armour: HOIL: Makes spamming abilities so much easier, and is one of the best perks for any build. It will be even better when Ascension triggers it in Edge of Fate.

Coyote: Can be switched for anything else, but once you try having a backup Ascension, you won't want to switch it. Plus, there are no better options. Weapons: Outbreak Perfected: My all time, favourite gun, obviously can be switched for something else, but i just love the feel of it. If you can, pairing this with the 2-armour piece Techsec armour bonus thingo, it will melt ANYTHING.

Lotus-Eater: Crazy for ad-clear, and makes Void Breaches for bonus Transcendence Energy.

Any Eager Edge Sword: Also not necessary, but being able to cross long distances with ease is insane. You don't really need a powerful Heavy weapon for dps, because you can spam your abilities instead.
