Thinking about coming back to the game but my favorite class, the one that I really want to grind is hunter, I just want to know if it is still a bug fiesta or they fixed some problems like pet wandering around doing nothing this kind of stuff
yes it still is doing retarded things
you will be using /come on a lot. Hotkeys or recon. This is still a problem of a hunter. Good news is that pets can equip weapons and armor. Premium pets can have 2 weapon and armor slot while the npc pet got 1 slot for weapon.
Any hunter that wants to play as a hunter turns Pet’s auto attack off, it makes the pet’s stupid’o’meter stay near 1. far more reliable since pet’s auto attack tend to make the pet stuck near a dead target, and it just won’t let go!
317 hunter x2 here ( 1 hunter c3 and 1 hunter c2) i find it relatively improved.
1st you need to turn off pet’s auto attack
2nd you need Hounding to keep pet following you 100% of the time (sometimes pet bugged out and wont follow you, hounding will do the trick; or relog)
3rd, to make pet register your attack, you must be within the radius of pet and the target (usually is the range of your archer also, it wont register if it’s out of your normal attack range)
4th, for c3 hunter, to cancel Growling, you must cast Rush Dog to any nearby mobs or walk far away or relog; 2nd and 3rd options not always available during ET or Uphill so I prefer using rush dog 3-5s before you can cast Growling again.
Once the pet stops following you I use the following method to make it follow me once more: feed it (if it’s a premium pet, lock the food so it doesn’t get consumed) what will this do? well, first it heals your pet, and second it makes it follow you once more, you’ll notice that it is following you because the pet will begin facing your way if you begin to move around.
Please note that you must wait for it to finish eating because if you don’t it will make retrieve to bug out like it does once you use hounding after retrieve.
Also note that for dire situations /comeon is there, I’ve got it on a macro, use it a lot.
/comeon will instantly cancel any active hunter skill, with the exception of hounding, pointing and praise.
Spam /comeon, why? because this way you’ll keep your pet always ontop of you, and you’ll be able to use your skills since as @zlilkyz noted there’s an area in which you can trigger your skills, this area consist of your range + pets range, so to maintain a reliable accuracy make sure your pet is close to you at all times, or your pet is close to the target.
Also now that they’ve changed how the targeting works, you must at all times have a target otherwise your skills will go to CD in vain.
Note that in pvp mouse targeting is slightly broken, so targeting riding classes is a nightmare, so is targeting flying featherfoots.
falconner too!! miss commands and false “far away to use skill”
