Hi, I want to test Hunter and I have already a build in my mind, archer>archer>hunter>hunter>fletcher>fletcher.I don’t see the point going hunter c3 because I don’t think growling is that good. So I want to know if Rush Dog from hunter is aoe, because I saw a hunter using Rush Dog in a video and doing aoe damage, there is no information in tos base about the skill, if it is aoe or not, thanks.
Its AoE is very unreliable and hits 4 mobs at max. Think of its mechanics as small cleave AoE attack ratio 4 skill.
Also Rush Dog’s damage is static/pure, it will always do at least skill damage+1, but its crits do not take skill dmg into account only pet’s own damage - enemies def. So Rush Dog’s Damage is something like: Skill Damage + (Pet_attack - Enemy_defense)*crit_mod. Pet also uses that skill automatically quite often without triggering your cooldown.
Aside from Rush Dog and Praise, the rest of hunter skills are all glitchy:
Coursing: doesnt work on bosses, pet attaches itself to target and will not leave or attack automatically until skill duration ends. You can still manually use Rush Dog on attached enemy and it will work. If Coursing target dies pet will freeze on one spot until skill duration ends (Duh!).
Pointing: pet starts to run around pointing any and every enemy in range, debuffing them for 3 sec. Doesnt automatically attack for skill duration (90 sec) unless you manually use Rush Dog.
Snatching: why would you want to bring flying non-boss enemy to ground and lose your own 100% additional damage from Bow anti-air attribute?
Retrieve: Fun skill. Does exactly what is written - pet attaches itself to target and slowly brings it to you. If used together with coursing… teleports enemy away along with pet.
Hunter gameplay: attack the target (with AA, for example) - wait for pet to finish it off. Boss fights are all about avoiding attacks while pet chews through its HP. Manual Rush Dog and Multi Shots make that process a little bit faster.
PvP note: if your duel opponent is killed by pet he will die with all penalties involved and duel wont end. To end the duel both participants should relog or opponent should revive and kill you or you kill him without pets (that way duel may end normally, or one of you dies with penalty and duel ends).

that coursing bug basically ■■■■■ everything up lol, aw man I was so hyped up for a pet class… can you tell me the difference between Hoglan and Velhider? and is it difficult in later levels for a hunter ?
Hey, I have a doubt about the companions, I can use the Velheider along with the Falcon (when I’m Falconer)?
Sorry for bad english.
