Hunter player's guide

[Gnupis]

So, after conjurer's guide how about we get a hunterpedia rolling? I'm gonna start...

Chapter 1

Hunters are a special class. They don't belong to the holy trinity of rpg classes (tank, healer, dmg dealer) and they are not a hybrid either.
A hunter must not try to become a dmg dealer unless they are willing to pay xim for it. Use your unique skills to their extent to become useful.

[Gnupis]

Chapter 2

Enemy conju is your closest buddy, never leave him alone. Confuse and if his friends try to block you out send your pet to play with him.

[Gnupis]

Chapter 3

Track and always announce your readings to the team. If you get no tracks say "nt' (no tracks) so they know you keep them updated. Makes the whole team feel safer.

When you announce tracks you can try to give a rough number of opponents and their direction if its a lot of them or specify classes, example:

"2w1m 250se" stands for "2 warriors, 1 mage, 250m southeast"

[errei]

Chapter 3
If you get no tracks say "nt' (no tracks)



never saw this NT thing being used, lel.

chapter 4: ignore the guy above and pls dont spam the chat with your fucking tracks, its annoying. Unless is something really critical as an enemy zerg moving report.


ah and this reminds me:


Chapter 2
your pet to play with him.

chapter 5:

forget chapter 2, dont use pet unless u r good with it as Imunne or unless u want to play ganking-fgt

[MxCx]

I think it's nice when someone says NT, I get paranoid some times when I see a hunter use tracks and not post them, unless it's someone I know and hunt with or I know their English isn't that great. On that note...

Chapter 6: Know how to use your compass
Posting "2w1m 250se" and moving southwest will confuse the shit out of everyone around you, and cause half of them to move the direction you posted in chat.

[Shwish]

Chapter 6:

Know exactly how much attacks/spells you can fit into your ambush and account for GCD. Trying to overreach will only get you killed embarrassingly.

[Gnupis]

chapter 5:

forget chapter 2, dont use pet unless u r good with it as Imunne or unless u want to play ganking-fgt

Works fine for me. Apparently you re the one who can't handle it.

Chapter 7:

Forget chapter 5... naah jk xD

Don't be intimidated by people who blame hunters for using confuse at high levels, its one of your best spells so confuse away.

[Hollow-Ichigo]

Chapter 8:

No matter how much you own people 1v1, 1v2 and 1v3. You will still be called a gank artist.

#feels

[LucianDeathshield]

Chapter 9:

If you plan on using your hunter in war, try and party other hunters to coordinate your ganks. (Voice communication programs are very helpful with this)

[Wi3ld]

Chapter 10:

Get hold of some jewellery and OP bows, because quite frankly, you're weak as piss without them.

[clavinfay2010]

Chapter 11

Max your speed if u don't have dragon set or speed bonus leggings, cuz even with op gears, u still need speed to outrun the melees. Stick touch is an extra cc on barbs, 2+ works pretty well. Skill passive damage on the long bow tree, I do notice a big difference after I skilled it.

Passive damage gives me ~5 dmg / level so 20-25 dmg / hit.

Im not willing to sacrifice maxed out WM tree or tricks for that anymore,

+500 hps dont seem like much, but when know some opponents that already hit harder than you run around with at least a 750 hp advantage on top of that, you kind want to get HP passive anyway just to at least have a chance to compete.

[clavinfay2010]

Chapter 13-1

Lvl4 passive damage is enough to see the difference. I don't have marxed trick tree in order to get that 500 hp passive, seems to make big pact for me, at least i can tank a bit more safely against the barb, don't get 2,3 hits K.Oed. Ensaring arrow is hunter's best friend, good damage short cool down, along with slow effect, enough keep one barb at bay, 2 is still manageable, 3 hug a tree and camo ur butt:)

[Rising_Cold]

chapter.. 13

learn to ensnare -run till ensnare is off cd- and ensare again
if you cant play like a b*tch you prolly will never learn hunter

(also if you plan to pretend to be atleast a little bit good.. DO NOT BACKPEDDLE
aka walking backwards using 's' the slowest way to move)

[errei]

Works fine for me. Apparently you re the one who can't handle it.

fair enough. tho camo -> distract -> rpid + cb (and maybe + bestial w.) + ambush + cb (and maybe sotw after this) is considered playing like a pussy, and tbh is not fun at all for me.
and most of times playing with pet forces us to play like dat.

Which brings me to the next chapter,

Chapter 14

Pussy is a hunter's middle name. You are squishy, weak, with few cc spells. Kiss your honor goodbye and kick some ass the rogue way.

[Blastard]

Chapter 15
Don't be afraid of dying, as long as it gives you any chance of getting better (doesn't include engaging in fights where you are greatly outnumbered, unless you're Ichi :harhar:)

[Shwish]

Hunter's are surprisingly not squishy at all. Evasive Tactics + Acrobatics can provide a fair deal of mitigation to anything that isn't a barbarian. Not to mention various escape spells.

Which brings me to Chapter 16
Don't forget to cast defensive buffs and do not prebuff in such a way that they expire when you need them the most. Also Son of the Wind and Low profile are really good CC chain breakers due to their cast times.

Chapter - Under root 16 :D
If a big zerg of 15+ is chasing you , cast escapist/dodge -> SotW [ hope it doesnt fail ] and cast camo with a cs bow or try to attempt running camo. xD
PS : its to survive & piss the enemy zerg to a great extent.

never attempt running camo as its abuse of game bugs and unfair to every1 playing
if you cant win, run, or survive w/o abusing bugs you're an idiot

Whats the bug?

[Dupa_z_Zasady]

I need your explanation, if I understood you right.

Chapter - Under root 16 :D

If you suck enough to not be able to track 15+ zerg in time...


, cast escapist/dodge -> SotW [ hope it doesnt fail ] and cast camo with a cs bow


...run like a bitch leaving your realmies alone...


or try to attempt running camo. xD


...and try to cheat.


PS : its to survive & piss the enemy zerg to a great extent.


I hoped to find some usefull tips for playing hunter in this thread.

Whats the bug?

You can cast camo, stalker and any other long casting spell without need to stop.

[pieceofmeat]

You cast camo, stalker and any other long casting spell without need to stop.

Yeah so? Evades and resists obviously dont count as disrupt of camo since like forever.
Where is a official statement saying it a bug and not a feature and why not just fix it, before people unknowingly makes themselves bug abusers?

What do mean other long casting spells?
I dont know of any other spell that is supposed to cancel by hits.

I don't think you even know what you are replying to.

SotW+Escapist to cast camo = not bug abuse
Knowingly casting camo whilst moving = bug abuse

Ah i didnt read it properly and winter quoted the whole thing, never seen the running thing either.

[Rising_Cold]

sorry next time ill only quote the part im talking about while also mentioning what im talking about in my post.. :)

seriously tho lets get back on topic xD

chapter 17
when you use a pet, dont forget to call him off the target before you cast that stun
or your face will be quite red from all the faceplams

[pieceofmeat]

Sorry for blaming you! Mostly i didnt read it properly with my limited english,
since i didnt know the bug, running was translated to "casting", and Dupas stop was in my mind referring to stop casting not moving.

chapter 18
Never blindly trust tracks, expect more!

[AnujAJ]

Imho its very hard to execute & btw alsius hunters do it the most :p & i never said i did it :3

[Dupa_z_Zasady]

You gave it as an advice, now you claim you don't use it and you blame Alsius hunters. What do you think, we are band of idiots?
You are pathetic, repulsive, ugly person.
Go away and let people give real advice.

[Wi3ld]

Give him a break. He has helped a lot of Hunters out in the past, and was obviously joking about running while camo. I hope you finally retrieve that stick that is firmly lodged in your ass some day.

Gee, I really don't want to see this thread turn into flame so I will comment for the last time.
Briefly, you also gave a "great advice":

Chapter 10:
Get hold of some jewellery and OP bows, because quite frankly, you're weak as piss without them.

But I resisted commeting that, cause there was no cheating encouragement.
You to should couple and make great clan, I even have name for you:
"Cheaters and boss whores".

[Tamui]

As hateful Dupa is, I'm agreeing with him against Anuj.
He's an imbecile who uses xim to buy everything and has the face to give advice?
Why the hell Syrtis gets all the idiots?

[Hollow-Ichigo]

You should know, its genetic. If you have stupid and ugly parents then it very likely that you end up in Syrtis.

[Tamui]

All the sensible ones are mostly gone, so yeah.

[The_Pirate]

Chapter 19

Ppl might say you are useless in fort wars. Ignore them... conf enemy conjus, ss and death s. knights, sticky touch barbs/marx, caltrop arrows and proj rain all great to use, and very helpful to the realm. Personally fort wars are what I enjoy most on hunter :D

[Shwish]

Imho its very hard to execute ... i never said i did it :3

It shows you really agree you too were an idiot as dafuk! xD

Tamui got the hell out of dodge once stupidity took over.
You guys are ruining this thread with BS arguments though (myself included now).

[AnujAJ]

There are trolls everywhere but nevertheless someone said " Dont care about people who dont influence your life"

[Kimahri_Ronso]

Chapter all class

Do not rush until you get a DI, stay in the back and shoot, heal, cast, 'n run. :closed2:

[xayne]

run away from melee spamming ensnare.
