Which Type of Hunter

Drogar · 02-10-2009, 09:24 AM

After the changes done to hunters, i dont see many ninja type hunters around (or am i mistaken?), i wonder if lvl 50 hunters use mostly pet-based setup? im a pet-based one but not too experienced, busy with mostly lvling (49),thats why i use pet (send pet to a mob and go kill another mob, almost at the same time 2 mobs down 2x XP) but im not sure about the setup after 50.

which type of hunter are you, ninja type or pet-based type and why? want to know opinions of others

regards

I guess im niether at the moment, I use a pet for grinding but right now ive only begun real war. I still don't have enough points for a full setup, but what im testing right now is a support hunter.

I make good use of evasion and rarely try to deal damage, instead I might confuse a conjurer, or ambush someone, ensnare them to slow them down. I ofc use classic strategy like stalker surroundings to hide in spots where I know a tracked enemy will pass through, and then we'll pop out and my friends do the work, im just there to assist them.

Im liking this setup right now, but its totally useless in 1on1, its supportive all the way. But I kind of get the feeling the hunter is meant to be played this way, in a defensive way I mean, offensive hunters don't usually go far. Thats just my take though

The only attack move that is unique to hunters is ensnaring arrow, but it is a great skill at least. Anyway if a hunter plans to go offensive in my opinion the best way to go is with a pet like most other hunters. I personally don't belive in that silly ninja crap ;P

When I train I train with ensnaring arrow maxed and normal hits, when I get more points later I might put them into a weapon tree, or put the latter into evasion or tricks. With my setup I only need to change for war the pet part if I want to go petless, but other than that I always have scouting maxed.

Too many pets has drown in Gokstad, so I start to train Scout`s Skill-Tree.

Camo & Stalker skills are very good for hunting on heads (alone and in party).

Ninja with pet :P

I prefer hunting with a pet, it's doable without but trickier ^^

That's because I do my job well

I still dont use a pet, but then again i dont play as much as hunter since the changes, just dont like the class changes overall.

it still is effective at killing pet hunters quickly enough, ill just camo or stalk around grinders or even bait, as i dont like travelling much or being a typical hunter. most hunters ive seen (and yes there are exceptions but they can be rare, are scavengers who go after the lower level grinders or people resting/half dead..so seeing them overestimate a situation (i.e. not using the tracking feature to see just how many enemies are really in a given area..is their stupidity not mine if they start atacking and find someone else hitting them a second later in the back with a confuse since they didnt bother to buff to kill some "easy" half dead player)

hunters are bugged and nerfed imo (opinion not everyone has to agree obviously) so i can still kill, but its getting harder and harder with every day.
the stalker bug with camo was brought up, the tele killing pets, no more piggyback, change to sotw, spell elude made overpriced and garbage compared to the last version, removal of xim bows...i hate to even log in with it no more, maybe one day ill see my bow removed completely.

The ninja style hunters still exists.... We just do not play regnum anymore...

Hunters are extremely weak ATM so most people have given them up for other classes but IMO to be a successful hunter you need max camo and stalker and then pick your fights VERY carefully. Stay hidden in leveling areas avoid large groups and forts at all cost you are easy RP. Hunt is small groups with other hunters and communicate.

Just my 2 cents, but hey I'm a PT hunter so don't listen to me...
