Which is Funner? Hunter vs. Marks

Salkor · 11-17-2007, 01:53 AM

Hey, I'm hoping to see many opinions on which would be funner to play as: a hunter, or a marksman. Archer EXP would be somewhat helpfull =P

This is just a discussion thread btw lol.

In my opinion I would think Marks, due to high damage. But I don't know about hunter. The ability to hunt and have pets seems fun, but which is funner to play as? Is it funner to hit high, or have pets/ hunt? YOU decide!

I'm a lvl 50 marks, I've only ever played a hunter up to lvl14.

I'd say playing either would be very fun. Although a marks hit better they are more vulnerable than a hunter is. A hunter can go invisible and have pets to help them and generally survive better than marks do in hunts. In fort wars, marksmen are more useful as they have more range and firepower. Hunters have only 1 or two damage spells that are class specific while marks have a whole discipline of them. I prefer fort wars to hunts, and I love my extra range which is why I'd argue playing a marks is much more fun and challenging.

well i have not played either of them, butt i bet its same as mage class, really depends on what u want to do in the game. what attributes are more important too you, because if u feel that u r satisfied with the char it will be nothing butt fun

Hunter, a few examples -

Around level 25 I went exploring in ignis territory, ran into some high level players (I think looking back that they were marks). I ran, they chased, one of them ALMOST kept up with me right down from near samal to the swamp. Had I been a marksman I would have been caught -- too slow.

Today Kaeleeya and I (please be spelled right.. please.. ) ran into two ignis near the border, one was a marks near my level, another a barbarian, didn't see the level.. anyway, the barbarian, damned if I know why, RUNS, leaving the marksman to die (10rp!). So I track and pick up a warrior, impossible (!) in the direction he ran. About five tracks and down to the swamp, I find an impossible warrior sitting in the middle of the road, plain sight >_>

Was it the same guy? Maybe. Would I have found him if I were a marksman? Probably not.

Wait, what was I saying? Oh right.. If you like pissing the enemy off by -
Chasing them for miles and killing them
Leading them for miles and escaping from them

Hunter is for you

they both fun kinda but hunters are so boring training

i enjoy having the extra range and power in my bow with the marks for these reason

Every class is pain in the ass when you want to lvl it

I have 43 lvl marks and 36 lvl hunter i do not see the difference in lvling.
Hunter give me more funn. Speed, speed, speed. And i love close range fight :> wich with pet is great.

DemonMonger · 11-18-2007, 12:33 AM

personally i like hunters...

1) stealth
2) damage bonus + 25% when near allies
3) pets
4) enemy location
5) Super speed run

marksman are better in forts hunters and better at hunting
i choose hunter cause its pretty funny killing someone near their save running away to make them think they have you then turning around and killing them so easily :P hunters only get one attack skill for choosing a hunter but you still have the short and long bow attacks. also when it comes to getting away marks are killed eaily whereas hunters almost always get away. plus when training hunters have pets to take the dmg and do dmg. which plus your pets dmg and your dmg is about the same if not higher than a marks.

there both pretty good classes tho not to make marks sound like vegetables. marks have good range and a hell of alot of attacks

I believe the main difference between them is that hunters can tame a pet and specialize in its management and marksman is about dealing greater damage at far distances and killing an enemy before he gets to you.

I believe hunters are more fun to play because of tracking skills and because when they fight someone they have a nice pet support that complements the damage.
