What to do now?

[Myxir]

Hi,
No whining, just a small question.
The last update changed the gameplay of the game totally. I like the idea to put high level mobs near the bridges and also into the realm.
But what are we hunters now supposed to do since there are no targets we can hunt?
As we know Hunters suck at Fort Wars. I tried it at the weekend, but I mostly never got rp.
Maybe around 13 for more than half an hour of fighting...
So what know, hunters?

You're doing it wrong o.O I'm level 41 and get more like 50+rp in that time during a good fight (One where we're defending and winning)

I haven't been hunting lately so uh.. I don't know :/ But there are a lot of low level mobs in the warzone too now, so I suppose it should balance out?

Well this is really all I get from onslaught and area buffs, warriors have to get up close in fort fights, and when we do that, usually you are the only one, and everyone from oppossing realm jumps you.

At least hunters got the great infinite power of long range, which means not getting touched in certain situations,

now on the other hand, one on one battles and hunts are the opposite, hunters are better, and warriors are better, but still we have to run a long way to get to you, in the mean time you can be casting knockdown spells

The problem I see with alot of archers/mages too, is that they just stand there, they just stand there and get hit, most don't run away.

About hunters and fort wars:

We have pets and scouting:

- Pets. They are no useful in fort wars since they are killed in 5 secs.
- Scouting (in fort wars):
+ Track skills (4 skills): No useful
+ Head of the pack: It doesn't work (MegriM said it)
+ Sentinel: Pasive
+ Wild Spirit: Not very useful for fort wars.
+ Camouflage: It could be useful.
+ Ensnaring arrow: useful.
+ Stalker surroundings: Maybe it can be useful one time at the beggining of the battle.

Sumarizing, habilities of hunters are not useful for fort wars. Of course, we can get some rps in fort wars, but it is not our role in the game. Our skills are focus on other issues.

Hunter without pet = weak marksman

I get quite a bit of RP from fort wars...may have to change your tactics but hunters are just as useful if you know what you are doing....AND...you have others to coordinate special attacks. Last fort war I was at raked in around 100'ish RP...maybe a bit more. And, my hunter buddy did about the same.

We will have to start playing like ignis hunters - in pairs. Try to catch something at desert near swamps or with stalker on pb2 - lot of them cross it to hunt. But it is realy hard to touch sand without arrow in ass :/
On the other hand near wall there is a lot of new players, and lot of newbies are hunting so it is not as bad as it look like.
Shame that lvling is harder now i never had so many xp stealing like today.
