Again, it's a support class, I don't think comparing it to Nova Bomb is apples to apples, Gunslinger would be a more apt comparison.
Right, and the Titan bubble can kill exactly zero dudes. But with the Helm of Saint 14, it can set up the slaying of many, and enable the survival of you and your fireteam. I think there are going to be a lot of situations where the tether will be a good defensive option for the Hunter, as well as offensive. Getting caught out with no heavy or in a vulnerable place, the tether can be used to detain a group of enemies to slip by while you reposition. Or to create an area of denial for enemies, or for helping res fireteam members. I think its ability to set up kills is pretty huge.
Again, I really disagree, and think the utility is far more versatile than a simple big explosion. We'll know soon enough, but right now I see a lot of possibilities, and am just excited to have a support class I'll enjoy when playing solo. I'll take what's on offer over every Titan and Warlock subclass, for solo play.
