oh no, itās not updated. edit: updated it now.
I have a love/hate relationship with my hunter. Pet really needs a buff in terms of speed/responsivity/area of targetting enemies.
If you compare it to one of the mobs you can call for you from the blue orb for example, thatās the type of resposiveness Iād like to see on the companion. They attack who you attack, they follow you around, hell they attack on their own even. The pet is much more docile, and much more movement speed wise slower too - so there are times where mobs just outrun him unless the hunter stands in a spot to let the pet deal damage in. Yes, he does great damage then, but I donāt think an archer is ment to be played this way. A hunter is not a tank, itās neither a dodge machine. Maybe hunter into rogue with the evasion bonus from rogue will work fine, because then you can tank 20 mobs on you and not get damage. As it is, itās a bit wonky and definitely needs polish, but damage wise itās good.
Itās a more of a Iām going to stand here and shoot while my petās autoattack will kill everything that comes close and attacks me. Like a turret with spikes around, Iām more of an active player so I went back to my archer 2 -> qs for now to get him to wugushi and see how that works.
@tampwn I gave the rundown a couple of times in this topic already while giving opinion on other peopleās builds of this kind.
@jelly Limacon for single target heavy hitting no cooldown skill, running shot for the best aoe in archer tree from all the archer clases yet, aaand Iād say caracole, it has a nice aoe if I remember correctly so Iād go with that. Concentrated fire if you like a sort of multishot. Iād go with caracole, Iāll be focusing my SR on aoe damage though.
