Best Build for Hunter?

Class and Rank Archer
#1

I’m a new and didn’t try this game even in CBT, all i have is theory so i need some suggestion for the best build for hunter.( I love pet control class :3 )

Here is my build :

And some question about hunter/archer :
1 , Can Fancolner use both Hunter’s and Fal’s companion?
2, Can companion auto use skill when battle ?
3, Can i use pistol without schwarzer reiter job?
4, What happen if companion’s HP down to 0?
5, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMIwDqJA0Ww
How to ride without SR class?

  1. yes
  2. no
  3. yes
  4. stun few seconds
  5. outdated you can’t ride without SR

IMO best build for hunter is just take it only 1circle max Coursing, Snatching and Rush Dog. Good thing for Hunter is single target disable and Dog somehow has good aggro (hidden mechanic for hunter maybe?).

Hello there and welcome to the community :smiley_cat:
And lets start right off the bad news. Hunter is in a pretty poor state now. As a class it can offer only single-target damage and CC, skills overlap with their utility, pet AI is still not good and bugs are pretty annoying. Devs are stubborn in their unwillingness to give it a proper rework so community hype over it is now somewhere between zero…

…and zero.

Did that discourage you? If not, welcome to the club. I myself like the idea of pet class very much and Hunter is in my list, although right now

is the ‘best’ buld for Hunter I’m able to come up with :scream_cat:

The point is to take a solid powerful (and independent) DPS class right off the bat and take Hunter or Falconer later if they ever become of any use. You still will be welcomed in parties and may have fun with double pets and your personal bug army (in all senses, lol).

Now to the questions

  1. Yes. Skills do not overlap though.
  2. Only Rush dog. Also falcon doesn’t have any auto-attack.
  3. Yes, any archer class is able to equip a pistol at lv180.
  4. It will be stunned for ~5 sec, then it may return to combat but it’s HP won’t regenerate instantly.
  5. It’s totally outdated.
  6. You can’t. And even if you could, you can’t use Hunter skills while mounting and SR skills while on foot.

so i can use 2 pets at a time?
why you don’t take falconer c2?

#5

same state as hunter

#6

Just 1 more question, which stances can be stack with hanging shot ? ( running shot, kneeling shot, swift step, …)

Sorry for make you bothered

#7

So far it’s Running Shot (buff only) and Swift Step (again, buff only). Swift Step is not really a ‘stance’ skill but your autos when you are airborn can’t be cancelled with movement anyways.

falconer C2 only gains one new skill (which is a single hit on a long cooldown) and most falcon skills scale very poorly with skill points.

another potentially fun consideration for rank 2 is ranger. a wugushi build means you’re going to want to invest heavily in strength, and coursing*+crit shot = 80% crit chance. however, I’ve heard that barrage+circling was bugged and don’t know if it’s been fixed.

*coursing doesn’t apply to bosses, because it’s a CC skill.
