Any tips on how to survive as a Hunter?

Edit: What does "Weighted Throwing Knife gets a second bounce" mean? I've been trying Athrry's Embrace in the shooting range and the knife doesn't seem to actually bounce. Am I misunderstanding the Exotic description? --- I've been trying to level up my Hunter, but I admit: I suck at it. I put Powerful Attraction on my cape and have plenty of Orb generation, where I'm running into problems is when Orbs aren't easy to come by, like during boss battles and whatnot. I feel like something isn't clicking, like there's a trick or a gameplay style that I'm just not getting. Or are Hunters just glass cannons and I need to learn to play around that? The build I'm using right now is Gifted Conviction with a few extra points in Class to get the Overshield, that Overshield has saved my -blam!- more times than I can count. Should I put even more points into Class for the time being? Thanks for any advice you can offer!

    I enjoy the hoil verity prismatic build on hunter, imo this is by far one of the best builds for the hunter. I have also tried a vexcaliber strand build that utilizes woven mail and over shield, it's very nice but decent. Arc hunter with combination blow and liars also another staple, but requires up close and personal combat style. Solar hunter with melee stat and calibans is also very fun and with a healing nade can handle sustainability very nicely. Stasis I go shatter dive with renewal grasp or mask of fealty, not the greatest but does get the job done. Void is all about maintaining your invisibility and crowd control, once you get devour proc can do great things with gyrfalcon and shadow heart, or vexcaliber. Would like to say that if you ustilize the exotics glaives for warlock and titan on hunter they can make for some awesome synergy across all sub classes, titan bubble glaive is god tier and for group play warlock glaive giving a healing turret is awesome. Hope you find what suits you best in your endeavors to finding the right hunter build for you guardian, enjoy D2 🫡🍻
