Well Now... That Build Actually Works! (Destiny)

I've been meaning to try out a cloak-y backstabbing "Assassin" Hunter build for a while. I always figured the cloak wouldn't be good enough to fool people and the backstab would be too directional and not trigger often enough to make me mad. Turns out I was wrong! I've been one hit meleeing people all over the place and while the cloak isn't near as good as in Halo, it can allow you to sneak in fast and sometimes cloak and get away. Specifically, I have Better Control (Jump), Razor's Edge (for Bubble Titans), Backstab, Path Forgotten, Shadowjack, Way of the Fearless, and Stalker.

So yeah, once Destiny decided to stop joining me into games with one ally and all the points captured by the enemy, or horrible lag, and stopped spawning me in front of charging Titans this build performed very well. Much much better than I expected! :)

I actually have trouble against cloaked hunters, particularly when they close quickly and use melee. Fast, vertical, tough to see, and deadly up close.

Not so much when they try to snipe or precision-shoot...no big deal then.
