Hunter Class Guide
The Hunter is a master of Ranged combat, most deadly at distance but also a formidable enemy up close. Hunters are best described as a Ranger, they love nature and animals. To prove the love for animals the Hunter is able to tame almost any beast he encounters out in the wild. Since Hunters know so much about nature they are able to Track every type of creature there is, ranging from Humanoids, Beasts, Elementals, Giants and more!
Hunters are best known for being masters of Ranged Combat, but they can do more then just sit back and fire a bow! Hunters have many Crowd Control abilities available to them and of course don't forget about their pets! Hunters have maximum control over their pets, they are able to spend talent points for their pets, level them up name them and even maintain their happiness by feeding them.
While all this about pets sounds super cool, I must say keeping them happy can be a pain in the rear.
Hunters Strengths:
- Very good ranged damage
- Feign Death
- Pets and the customizability that pets bring
- You can solo very well with a hunter
Hunters Weaknesses:
- Horrible in close range combat
- Have to feed pets, can become a pain in the ass
- Very difficult class to play, will take awhile to Multi-Manage and Master.
Pets
I'm not going to go into all the different pets that hunters are able to tame because there are too many to name. I will however describe pets, There are two archetypes of pets, tanking and dps. A bear is the most common choice for a tanking pet and a cat is the most common choice for a DPS pet. I almost always will recommend a DPS pet over a tank pet. Each pet has a unique ability, this is what should help you determine what type of pet you want not their ability to tank or dps.
