A few questions for those who play Hunter

Class and Rank Archer
#1
  • Which skills work on bosses?
  • Can you mount the pet while their skill is “active”?
  • Can you use skills while you are mounting them when they are in the “active” state of their skill?
  • Does using a skill when the pet is using a skill cancel the pet’s skill?
  • Are there any Hunter -> SR/Hakka?
  • How does growling work?
  • Does praise give you a bonus when you mount them?
  • How is Hunter C3?
  • Do you think Hunters are better now that pets can use equipment?
  • Does the no pet attack work for you?
  • Is HP the only stat you get from mounting?

I have a few questions that I don’t remember as well.

#2

Only rushdog works vs ground and fly boss.
Snatching works only on fly boss.

I have seen hunter sr but no hunter

Mounting pet gives you hp eva and accuracy.

Growling makes pet start growling even if the animal should
not growl (bird and Pingu). Pet generates aoe pulse around it every sec which fears enemies. Enemy can stay feared for very long since each pulse refreshes fear duration (can be resisted though).

Multiple input tends to bug pet so be prepared to hotkeh /comeon and use it a lot

All hunter skills are used unmounted (pet needs to move to enemy to damage).

#3

I see. I know pet skills have to be used unmounted, so I’m wondering if you can do something like coursing -> let the pet bite them -> then get on them (and have them skill be biting the monster).

Or like use growling -> mount it (and have the skill skill be doing it’s thing)

#4

I only heard skill end -> mount -> able to move pet, from @Composition He is the pet master maybe he will enter thread soon :slight_smile: Have not documented new pet system command yet

However pet still stuck in animation once you unmount
/comeon is very nice

Are you playing again rei?

#5

Which skills work on bosses?

Rush Dog
Snatching (Flying bosses only)
Hounding? (Bosses that Burrows/Cloaks)

Can you mount the pet while their skill is “active”?
Can you use skills while you are mounting them when they are in the “active” state of their skill?

No.

Does using a skill when the pet is using a skill cancel the pet’s skill?

The only skill that gets canceled after casting another is Retrieve, when you cast Coursing exclusively.

Are there any Hunter -> SR/Hakka?

Weird combination, Hunter Hakka would be a thing if you didn’t need to be mounted to use hakka skills…such a shame.

How does growling work?

Your pet stays stationary for 10 minutes Growling/Barking, any monster that comes closer receives a debuff for 3~8 seconds that disables their AI, making them stand still for the debuff duration. Every Growling/Barking your companion does have a chance of reapplying the debuff. There is a bug though that sometimes monsters run off the Growling AOE. The debuff is also applied to players but it does nothing.

Does praise give you a bonus when you mount them?

I have the Movement speed attribute and it does nothing to me when I mount it (TP Companion). A SR/Hakka would get this answered better.

How is Hunter C3?

Hunter C3 doesn’t provide as much utility as the other R5 classes do. Hunter past C2 is really hard to level and I do not recommend it, unless you have the patience to do so. Your Coursing, Snatching and Retrieve become stronger and you gain access to Growling…but nothing else.

Do you think Hunters are better now that pets can use equipment?

I can see Rush Dog getting nerfed in pvp soon, the skill has become strong, a little too much if you ask me. Hunter though will now be one of the best alt char to level, assuming that you have leveled up a companion to 170+ while leveling your main character.

Does the no pet attack work for you?

If you have the Auto attack toggle set as off, your companion will obtiently return by your side after it has finished using a skill…It’s PERFECT.

Is HP the only stat you get from mounting?

Another SR/Hakka question…I cannot answer that one.

#6

I’m not a SR but I’ve got a battlebird. Mounting the pet while it uses coursing “can” be done. This however only is graphical, the server register the coursing skill is active so the pet in the code is wherever the enemy under coursing is. So you may visually mount the pet and receive the bonus, but if you use another command the pet will travel from the last location (the one where coursing was activated).

Growling and mounting is impossible, sadly. But atleast if you mount it you can choose where to growl, before it was just wherever the pet was (this was bad).

/comeon cancels all active skills (Doesn’t end praise), useful to end coursing and growling, also works for retrieve but retrieve was always easy to cancel.

#7

Maybe. If I did play again, it would be on Klaipeda though.

I was thinking about other possible openers for SR besides the generic A2 R3 build. The only thing that I could possibly think of was Wugu 2, Wugu + Fletcher to replace ranger C2 & 3.

Then I thought about “What if you can use skills while the pet is using a skill? What if it doesn’t move you?” All of a sudden the idea of using retreat shot stationary while the pet does something came to my head.

But figuring out whether Hunter skills can work like that for SR was something I didn’t want to test out myself. (Because I’m lazy).

@Anarth
Well that answered like 90% of my questions with that No. Such a shame.

@Composition
That makes me wonder if Hunter -> SR/Hakka can actually work…

Same =p… but that’s only if they decided to ever fix this broken game =p

#9

I doubt it highly. mostly because I’m saying this with a TP companion. Only way to find out is the hard way, so we won’t have an answer for a while.

#10

If only there was some test server to do things on.

My remaining 10% questions can’t really be answered without a Hunter -> SR/Hakka sadly.

I have seen only one hunter3 reiter2 in my gaming time.
Does not seem very popular. Though snatching (attribute) -> hakkapelle skill should be a great boost.

#12

Not exactly an SR/Hacka but it seems you can mount pet while it is on skill duration.

If you notice, I have the mounted status while the pet was still on Coursing. My movespeed increased too (from mount bonus).

Mounted status is all there is to make mounted-only skills usable (except if there are additional specific weapon requirements).

#13

Autoattack off.

#14

That is amazing. Such a QoL update for Hunters.

@Biskee
Makes me wonder if SR/Hakka skills will work during it.


orz

I need a shiny pokemon to come out.

I have a Hunter+SR. The problem with coursing or retrieve is it doesn’t work on bosses so it won’t matter but if your idea is doing a Coursing/Retrieve combo’d with SR skills on mobs … I’m not sure if it’s even worth testing.

The only amazing thing about Hunter is Snatching. It can apply the DoT on the boss then you can mount again quickly AND normally w/o any glitch unlike that vid by Biskee.

Well, it doesn’t hurt to know.

#17

I ran into a hunter3 -> sr, i managed to ask away.

If you were to ask me the main reason for doing that build has been removed which was using growling then mounting pet, which basically made your character into an aoe stun.

While you prob can mount during retrieve being close to your pet also ends the ability, leaving only coursing left. Which they really need to let work on bosses already even if it doesn’t root them in place

Idk if praise will also give you a portion of the stats, i didn’t ask that. I believe rush dog is no good either.

#18

IIRC Praise doesn’t improve the stat you get from the pet when mounting. I will test that again when I can and post a vid.

#19

Aww that sucks. So growling and mounting used to be a thing. Damn why did they change that.

#20

If you really want it, I saw hackerpal skill (c2?) have similar effect - AoE damage during mount&movement but without the CC fear. Kind of similar to cataphract rush I guess?
