Well Hunter is a support class but Who can expect Hunter to bring in term of support?
It very weak in term of support capability.I have the feeling to other support from Archer tree (at least Wugushi and Scout c3 can bring good dps to party but not Hunter).
There are too many nice suggestion about companion ai already i will not talk much.
Hunter skill.
Rush dog - ok spam able damage skill but hard to use in term of target selection.
Suggestion - Make dog attack who i am attacking not the one nearest me so i don’t need to fight in melee to properly select it target. and increase more skill(include Coursing, Retrieve and Snatching) range at least equal to my auto attack.
Coursing - a single target disable at level 10 plus it attribute decrease enemy physical and magical df by 52, 50.
Retrieve - a single target disable same as Coursing but do Double damage compare to Coursing and decrease enemy physical df by 50 by it attribute (then this skill is completely replace Coursing)
Suggestion - Give Coursing aoe, reduce the ai animation of those two skills and give them breeding bleeding that work on bosses.
Snatching - A Flying Boss killer.High level skill can kill any flying quest boss in 2 use. Very good skill tho.
Praise - Completely useless skill not affect Hunter skill at all (only affect companion auto attack? why?)
Suggestion - replace for a better skill such as “call x(a summon)”- temporary call minion. minion may bring good support buff or great offensive damage support.
Pointing and Growling - work pretty much in the same way. Pointing a debuff that don’t bring much effort to Hunter has chance to fear. Growling long duration fear but the companion just stand still and has too little aoe.
Suggestion - combine in to one skill and increase a bit aoe or companion chase it target while using skill and reduce fear to understandable duration.
Hounding - this skill should work like it description. Your companion find hidden nearby enemies. not just an aoe reveal hidden enemies where it stand like this. The dog should run and find them.
You command dog to do something then you can’t use the rest of hunter skill for it ai duration. Why design Hunter to permanent cc that not work on bosses?
sorry for my bad English.
