| Two types of Hunter: strong or weak | |

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?
