Thread: Hunter development request

Okay im sure i can speak for most hunters here, The hunter needs desperate developer attention, Ever since ive joined the game at the start of the year i have seen nothing in the updates to do with the hunter.

Heres a few idea i have in mind:

Pets: The whole point of a hunter is to track down its enemy and kill it with speed but most hunter realistically would have a companion like a dog, can't you picture it, it makes so much sense and would make the class even more interesting and would enhance the class even more and i believe it could be a new breakthrough.
Higher damage/criticals: yes this definetely needs to be seen to as its ment to be a dps class yet yeah it does nice damage fast but yet i see runekeepers who can also heal them self hitting 15k crits and i think rks should hit less damage, The only heal a hunter has got is strengh from the earth which can be interrupted and i think this is class favoratism as all the other class are always getting updated and i despice this alot, what happened to equality, i mean it seams like it as there has been barely anything done to the hunter in the last few updates.

more moves without inductions: when a hunter spars they can barely do anything because most of there moves are induction, which means hunters are ment to be dps but when sparring they do barely any damage i think this is a big disadvantage and should be seen to as soon as possible.

So please developers when you see this dont ignore this request acknowledge it and do something about it, dont leave it.

I hope this is a troll.

If it's not, I'll address each of the issues.

Pets: Next people will be saying Minstrel is a wandering bard and can sing to the forest, summoning pets. We don't need another class with pets, it would make our mechanics too much like LMs and make them less needed besides select fights (T2 saruman).

Higher DPS/Crits: No. We can already hit massive hits, and sustaining DPS isn't much of a problem if you know what you're doing in a raid.

More Inductionless Skills: We have a spam skill already, and with fleetness and faron it's even more spammable. Just mouse turn if you want to use inductions and kite.

I agree we need developer attention, but asking for things to make us seriously OP is not the way to do it.

Ofc he is trolling.
DPS is not an issue for the hunters I play with, Aggro is.

And the dog thing, priceless... Maybe you are playing the wrong game.

I feel like hunters do need a inductionless self heal, but all the other suggestions are kind of dumb because they make us OP.

This is not going to happen for lore issues - The Hunter is based off of the elf, Legolas. At no point did he call upon a small fluffy creature to fight for him and to lick his feet.

Similarly, do not duplicate posts (one here, one in the suggestions) as it is against the Forum rules.

Can we have a pet Pikachu? Just to make the class even more of a joke?

A pet dorf for Elf Hunters would be appropriate.

For the record ...

I DO NOT want a pet on the screen
I DO NOT want one in the scene
I DO NOT want a dog or bird
I think the entire idea is absurd
I DO NOT want one sir or mam
I DO NOT want one, Sam-I-am!

What I want is skills that work
and maybe a single target DPS perk
and a reasonable escape skill that will work
in the Moors - that would be a perk!
That is what I want sir or mam
That is what I want, Sam-I-am!

Just get your agility up and watch things die. No need for more DPS.

We're not out hunting geese or deer or....well sometimes pigs. I don't need a pet to kill them for me.

I despise pet classes and wouldn't want to play as a hunter anymore if a pet was added. Combat with pet classes always feels clumsy since you never have complete control over the pet (poor pathing for example). I love the control I have over my character's actions and wouldn't want to lose that finesse for slightly more soloing capability.

That being said, I actually wouldn't mind it if they added a landscape pet that did nothing but loot the bodies of things I kill. I love killing things quickly from a distant and it gets somewhat annoying having to run around looting all the corpses afterwards.
