Hunter: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 18:02, 6 November 2020

Hunters are a unique class. Depending on their disciplines they can be either great foes in fair pvp, or silent backstabbers that strike enemies in their moments of weakness. Archers who choose this subclass give up the accuracy and damage boosts of the Marksman, but gain the use of more interesting spells and abilities.

Hunters are, without their pet, weak compared to the other five subclasses, with no real power improvements. With that in mind, they need to use and sometimes abuse their stealthing techniques to kill their enemies.

Having a hunter in the group means always being prepared as they can quickly track surroundings to find enemies. Combining this with their area stealth spell can lead to successful ambushes and surprise attacks. One last thing about them, is that hunters can tame wild creatures and name them, mainly animals and monsters.

Hunters tend to choose their battles and their victims will always be taken by surprise.

-Hunters are weak compared to the other five subclasses, with no real power improvements. With that in mind, they need to use and sometimes abuse of their stealthing techniques to be able to win. This has given them quite a bad reputation.
-Having a hunter in the group means always being prepared, they can quickly track surroundings to find enemies. Higher lvl hunters can get better data like lvl and class of each enemy. Combining this with their area stealth spell can lead to successful ambushes and surprise attacks. One last thing about them, is that hunters can tame wild creatures and name them, mainly animals and monsters. Buffed pets can get very annoying when their master hops around and evades all your strikes. So before facing a hunter one needs think it trough first. Bad luck, hunters tend to choose their battles and you will always be taken by surprise.
