From an early age the call of the wild draws some adventurers from the comfort of their homes into the unforgiving primal world outside. Those who endure become hunters. Masters of their environment, they are able to slip like ghosts through the trees and lay traps in the paths of their enemies.

These expert marksmen drop foes dead in their tracks with flawless shots from a bow or rifle. With the ability to wield two weapons simultaneously, hunters can unleash a flurry of blows against anyone unfortunate enough to stumble into close combat with them.

The art of survival is central to the isolated life of a hunter. Hunters track beasts with ease and enhance their own abilities by attuning themselves to the feral aspects of various creatures. Hunters are known for the lifelong bonds they form with animals of the wild, training great hawks, cats, bears, and many other beasts to fight alongside them.

Hunter Information

Hunters battle their foes at a distance, commanding their pets to attack while they nock their arrows and fire their guns. Though their missile weapons are extremely effective, hunters are at a disadvantage when their foes close in, and often attempt to evade or restrain enemies so that they can continue fighting from a safe distance.

Hunter Talents

Hunter talents primarily strengthen their pets; improve the damage, effectiveness, and duration of their traps; and increase the speed and power of their ranged attacks.

Hunter Talent Specialization
Hunter Features
Pets

Hunters tame the beasts of the wild, and those beasts serve in return by assaulting their enemies and shielding them from harm.

Ranged damage

Whether wielding bows, guns, or crossbows, hunters are deadly with ranged weapons. They are capable of dishing out consistently high damage.

Traps

Hunters are consummate survivalists, able to set traps to burn, freeze, and disable potential prey.

Soloing

Thanks to their pets and damage output, hunters are effective at completing quests and leveling quickly, even when they’re alone.

@Grodash: I don't agree, I simply hate focus. I vote that hunters gets mana back :) But we all diff opinions about it, ''new'' hunters prefer focus (also old hunters does) because it's easier to handle, you needed to use your brain with mana :P

@Sacratum: Unfortunatly the "beast atleast 3 times your own size" is unlikely even if there was Gnome Hunters. From my experience seeing and playing a Goblin Hunter, the pet doesnt got much bigger than yourself, big disappointment imo, but thats my opinion XD
