The Current State of Hunters

[DkySven]

Demon, I could kill a level 50 knight here with a pet, while I barely hurt him myself, pets can be very strong because you won't stop dealing damage while casting buffs or debuffs etc(my pet is a level 40 Troll Slave).:

[DemonMonger]

hehe nice!
I see you like retaliation
tear apart owns knights...

DMC I strongly disagree with your strat on barb. A blunt barb will not die form low normal hits

And if I reminds well each time I see you using SotW + stalker you die.

nah..... I've had alot of lag recently.......
I escape and the lag warps me back.... so I die..

I kill barbs in the arena like this also...
The pass through is just to make onslaught wear off... then i keep distance

I was heading to meleketi to buy more arrows/try pets

tricks -13 (all skills lvl 1)
long bow -09 (all skills lvl 1)
pets -03 (all skills lvl 1)

Good setup, but why tricks 13? oO Finesse is crap... Long 11 is a bit (! ^^) more useful...

And there are 3 spells I'm missing: rapid shot, evasive tactics and dirty fight.

As you pass him his spell will activate and you may resist it
Turn and basic shot + dual shot again
Use mobility and run in a straight line away from him
When he turns to face you it gives you time to put space between each other
Kill him with basic + dual shot and save enough mana incase you need to sotw + stalker

You won't kill a good barbarian with this tactic. I prefer sticky touch, stunning fist etc to lower the damage you receive. This works always, mindsquash is your only enemy.

1) camo
2) move in for the kill
3) use repetition shot at the same time
4) low profile and return to group

I'd prefer to be the only hunter and doing that with some warlocks and barbs... I don't have to return to my group then because no enemy is alive

I also use sticky touch on them, but rarely... The more damage that I can do in the least amount of time = better chance I live. I don't use all the spells on my list or bars. Some are just for effect

Ya I also like using rep with warlock... because the terror holds them down...
Then again when warlocks advance to attack the enemy falls back to avoid the terror. However, when a group of hunters goes in they see nothing and do not fall back

There are many ways to make regnum soup, I just like the taste of this recipe.

Enjoy

Wow... today I got rocked hard lol.....
My attack failed twice in a row...

hunter vs hunter lvl 50

I repped his pet + him
pet died... he evaded the rep...
he hit me with sudden attack lvl 1
then killed me with dual shot lvl 3 and ensnare

This was twice.......

One mistake / failure of a major skill ... and it's over never underestimate sudden attack
On that note... pet may be reliable to a degree, but how to balance it all out..

good work gps of syritis

Yeah all is fine for you when you can put your repshot. On my hunter I will be left with 2k hp and you with 3k. Normally with your dual shot lvl 5 vs mine lvl 3 you should have the upper hand.

One thing is you gotta fight one challenging opponent only once in a 3 minute gap.

Give pets powers, if i have to stop and wait for him he should at least be able to "Troll Roar" or something like that. If moobs can do it, then why cant pets? At first i hated the new pet commands but after you get use to them they are not so bad. Assisting allys is great! It just sucks using so many power points to be fast but having to stop and wait for my pet to catch up. Also, what is with the bridges? If i get to close to the side my brainless pet falls off! :S

Right. Lvling a hunter is a pain now.
