4. Gunslinger
Gunslinger, like its fellow Hunter subclass the Bladedancer, have similar skill sets. What sets it above the Bladedancer in this list of best Destiny classes for House of Wolves PvE is its Golden Gun super. The Gunslinger can safely dispatch both powerful and weak enemies from a safe distance. This is unlike the Bladedancer and Striker that need to get up close and personal. Couple that ability with its speed for objectives and the Gunslinger is a worthy member of any Prison of Elders fireteam.
The only reason it’s not higher is because it faces some pretty stiff competition going forward from the other Destiny subclasses. The Prison of Elders can be chaotic and brutal on high difficulties, and the classes that can best minimize and make battles less dangerous get the edge.
