Low LVL Hunter spells

[FlyingDeadBirdie]

Hi all!
I have a lvl 33 hunter. I found that at my level I can get passive speed. Is this really worth it in the warzone and/or grinding? Or should I use the power points on other spells? PleasE voice your opinions

Don't use it. It's useless if you want to grind, and in warzone... well, 5% is not that helpfull.

For grinding, useless.

In WZ, mandatory to survive versus a barb, Mobility isn't enough to keep the distance in most cases.

At your level, put your points elsewhere.

At lvl 45-50 maybe it's a good way to survive arround WZ, not at lvl 33. Use that points in skills to increase damage.

As Annavilya says, passive speed is a must in warzone. For grinding is of no use. Listen to Annavilya she is one of the best hunters.

Passive speed is useless since the nerf too.
I was often hunting with 2 other hunters before and after the balance update. After the changes I was the first of us who dropped speed completely. (passive and mobility)
I never lost them. The passive speed bonus is way too small to spend 5 points on it.
I think it's more efficient versus barbs to have spells that decrease the damage you suffer at high levels. Put the 5 points from mobility and wild spirit to son of the wind and escapist.
You should be aware that it blasts a high amount of mana, though. With his 10 seconds of spring with +25% movement speed he will still get you. Ensnarring arrow might help you but you have to keep in mind that clever barbs change to a spear to have range on feint and that you have to stop for every shoot.
Since the balance update I tried with and without speed. You just waste points with it you can spend a lot better, in my oppinion.

you have a point.... it seems better to buy a horse and not use any speed buffs, since they don't help much. I am a lvl 50 hunter and with my passive mages can catch me with ease....... But stun and mount a horse and you are always going to escape 1vs1. What fun is that?

not every hunter who uses a mount uses it to escape fights. After the speed nerv my hunter got a horse as well, last char to get one. I named it "passive speed" and I use it to get TO battles quick, not to get away from them

Why going for a horse? With all the marks around it's far too risky.
Stun/knock/fist and camo is far more comfortable.

And nobody was talking about escaping. Keeping barbs at distance and escaping are different things.

I wont use it with grinding.
