Re: Two types of Hunter: strong or weak

In Response To: Two types of Hunter: strong or weak (Rockslider) : I've just realized something about Hunters in H1, and I'm wondering how : widely it's known. On any difficulty level other than possibly Legendary, : there seem to be two types; strong or weak. : My experiments so far : On Heroic I tested all Hunters on SC and also the first 4 pairs on AOTCR. I : found that they took 11 whacks or 7 whacks to kill (I'm talking about : normal whacks, delivered while fairly stationary relative to the target). : With all the pairs I encountered, I found that one Hunter was strong, the : other weak. : On Normal I tested all Hunters on SC and found that they took 9 whacks or 6 : whacks to kill. Strong Hunters were rarer than weak ones. : On Easy I tested all Hunters on SC and found that they took 6 whacks or 4 : whacks to kill. Again, strong Hunters were rarer than weak ones. : On Legendary I tested all Hunters on SC and found that they all took 13 : whacks to kill, suggesting that on Legendary all Hunters are strong. : Questions : So, does anyone know the full story on Hunter strengths? It must have been : researched before, surely. Strong and weak seem to look the same, so I : suspect that a lot of people (like me) didn't really notice that there are : actually two types. Maybe Bungie originally planned to distinguish the : types but ran out of time or something? Might have been. Bungie always color-codes for strength, and the fact that hunters seem equally vulnerable most of the time(one pistol shot in the orange, or a rocket) means that they might have overlooked hunter hitpoints, either by oversight or due to a lack of time. Anyway, I certainly didn't notice anything different about the hunters.
