Why does everyone hates hunters?

How can saving yourself when you have little health left be cowardice? If you have the ability to save yourself just before you die, you would be a fool not to!

When will people get over the fact that hunters can keep themselves alive better than any other class, and just get on with playing their own class?

Wudy,

I hope that my in-game whining hasn't contributed to your frustration. I have the highest respect for you, and I know you are not a coward. I would like to clarify a couple of things.

When I complain about my perception of hunters being overpowered, I am complaining that NGD designed it that way. If I could evade most spells sent at me and escape from sure death, I would. It is not the fault of players that this is the current situation.

I don't think that players that play hunters are any more cowardly than players from other classes. I'm sure some are cowards, and others are brave, from any class. When I mentioned in my previous post that "hunters are perceived as cowards," that is the design of the class, like you mentioned.

Of course there are some jerks that play hunters, repeatedly killing the same people while leveling and such. But I know that you, Wudy, are not one of those people.

My complaint about hunters is with NGD's overpowering the class (in my opinion), and thereby making the game less interesting for those that did not choose that class. I suspect that this situation has become more apparent with time as more and more hunters get to level 50.

At one time your whinging was unbearable, but lately you seem to have it under control, out in the open at least.

And it is this kind of moaning that i hate - out loud and within earshot of me (sometimes deliberately i'm sure.)

I think some people get frustrated by enemy hunters and vent that frustration on ally hunters to make themselves feel better.

This kind of moaning should be constrained to private chats with a sympathetic listener.

But i tell you, when i hear it makes me think: "ok, if those are your feelings about my class, i cannot fight alongside you."

And on a personal note: i'm none too keen about the run/hide tactics of hunters.

My preference is for fort wars and always has been.

Because of this, most of my time as a hunter has been with a set up designed for forts. Hell, i've spent months of time as a hunter without even having camoflage. And my only aim at the end of a fort fight was to take some ememies down b4 i died, and never to run or hide.

But lately, circumstances have forced me to adopt a more evasive style. Every time i go near a fort, or even a group of people i freeze with high server pings. So i have to hunt alone or in a small group to stay away from the crowds. So i would be crazy spending so much time alone in enemy territory without evasive skills.

And even if i wanted to keep this style, why should i have to listen to realm mates bitching about it?

If these technical problems go away i will probably pick up rep shot again for forts and go back to my previous style.

Until then, can u all plz quit the damn whinging!!!!!!!!

:P Maybe you shouldn't revive a topic which was last replied to more than a year a go. The general opinion isn't that much against hunters anymore as it was back in those days.

yeah hunters are basically retarded marks without the dmg or the defense.

they are fun yet though

and im just being silly as usual...so let this thread die again

[Mattdoesrock]

Old topic is old.

[DemonMonger]

hunters are not over powered.. and yes much of what is said here in this thread is not valid... we have had many updates since this thread opened...

Anyone that attacks you by surprise has a good chance of winning..

Barbs can do it... and rape you 2 seconds....
warlocks can do it...
marks can do it..
knights can do it..
CONJI can do it..
Hunter does it well....

Barbs cant camo when they have 0.1 HP left, heal and then fight you back.

Hunters, sad but true, are overpowered.

Regards.
