Something to consider in the next update skills

[Leon30]

I am hunter too and i fed up to not can shoot any arrow while i am moving.
They should give us also some skills that we can hit with our bows as we are running so we dont have to stand always still and also MAKE US shoot faster we are more slower than a turtle.
Give us a Stun shot(i have played lots of online games and all archers classes had stun shot)
We are worthless in groups and we are a bored class.All we do is hiting 1.2.3 and loop(did i mentioned 4?)
You said we are aggro control?With what?
The rain of thorns is missed the majority of times and 3m CD
Traps..you must be joking the mobs just pass on them without anything happens.
The cry of predator failed now even on 45 level simple wolves.
Give us the skill to make our own Light and Fire Oils.I dont see the reason to buy them since we can only us use them.
Why a hobbit archer has more range i cant understand it.
In pvp with 2 wargs we are dead all we can do is to stay dazed till we die?
If we bypass all this i know the main reason they make us as we are now.
As you have all see the places are huge and need lots of time with horses to go anywhere so with the nerf we have we stay in towns and become teleporters for the other players so maybe we must stop argue with the developers and be happy to make us so usefull.
Maybe in the next update they give us new skill named taxi caller so a player call us and spawn in his place and teleport him where he likes
Think about it ITS AWESOME.!!!!

All hunters should join the Server Wide Taxi Union(SWTU), so that we can have solid front on keeping the cost of taxis high.

So we can actually make some money out of our one useful skill.

UNITE HUNTERS!!!

[Daguras]

If we're getting new stuff I'd like to see:

# a bow chant to buff attack/induction speed
# a bit more melee survivability (maybe a Bow Swipe melee attack that can trip/stun/disarm the target for 5 seconds, doesn't trigger FM tho. or frontal AoE, max 3 targets)
# maybe replace DF with +75% evade/+75% runspeed/resist CC for 20-30 seconds (or less duration with a +6 stealth buff to camouflage) at the end of the skill... perhaps call the skill "Run Like Hell" instead of DF) - simply 'cos I'm sick of running back to quest areas etc after DF'ing 'cos some crappy low level root.
# more traps as skills (or give a few recipes to woodworker at least!)... even if they require a few gathered mats. ATM its bit dumb that we have to buy a tripwire from a weaponsmith... it doesn't take 10 AI ingots to tie a piece of vine between a couple of trees ^_^

Well I don't want to be negative but it'll never happen...

If turbine thought that it would have been nice to add new skills or change some we already have, they would have already applied them to make us accept the nerf of Ba and traps.

But they didn't.. so don't except anything form them.

@turbine
I do not trust their explanation "fear was not intend to work this way"... yeah yeah.. 2 options, the hunter skills pass thought several beta and patch without any problem and nobody noticed the problem, then simply change the entire QA team as they're plenty useless.
Or your simply think we'll believe you... and it's quite obvious that nobody thrust the poor explanation provided. you nerfed the hunter legendary skills just because of few people using it "badly" in pvmp or in few occasion... what a big deal !!!
You fixed the problem by creating a bigger one !!! People leaving the game, giving up their hunter character.. real nice decision !! congratulation for the decision !!!

Later

[HardOnails]

For turbine to decide what we are and fix it

1) DPS nuker class
2) Kiter Class
3) CC/DPS Class

1) remove heartseaker, reduce focus on merc shot and remake 50%, bring back slow weapons with decent damage

2) remove loss of focus when moving, stop "glued to the floor" when autoshooting

3) introduce decent traps so we can CC like other classes in combat, give us a net shot or stun powder arrow, make rain of thorns no damage but doesnt break exsisting CC

wont happen

where do i get a taxi cape from?

[Llewrend]

you nerfed the hunter legendary skills just because of few people using it "badly" in pvmp or in few occasion... what a big deal !!!Interestingly, the tyrants in Ettenmoors are now also immune to fear. ... Yes, makes you think why the hell was fear still nerfed.

Immunity timer, chain fear problem solved without destroying solo ability. But I guess it would have required them to copy paste code from stun skills. Such hard work.

Ill GM tailor a "Cloak of the Taxi" for any1 who wants to Join the SWTU on evernight :)

TAXI'S unite!!!

Together we are strong!!! :)

(But still levelling my Minstrel ;) )

[raiders7]

Well, personally I refused to be a taxi anymore (except for my kin). When ask I say no and explain that hunter are not only good to be a taxi.

:D Man, you're brilliant, I didn't think of that ! Going at it, at least I know what to do now with my useless Hunter.

By the way Turbine, keep on SWG's way. You're the next one to appear on "Customer's satisfaction 101". Being lazy and fixing things the easy way is not the business way.

Waiting for Turbine's CU and NGE...

and we can have union

[nicbass]

I am hunter too and i fed up to not can shoot any arrow while i am moving.
They should give us also some skills that we can hit with our bows as we are running so we dont have to stand always still and also MAKE US shoot faster
According to a post by Hakai on the Turbine Guardian forum about book 12 updates:

We're modifying the ranged auto-attack to work while moving. The price will be an extremely high miss rate on the skill when it is used while moving..
That better apply to Hunters as well or it'll be ridiculous if a tank can shoot whilst moving & a skilled hunter can't...

[MéLAnoR]

Why not tweak agility a bit like they did with Fate?
Book 12 is incoming for Burglars , this can be handy for them too.
Agility does not increase dps much you dont even notice the difference, maybe it shouldnt increase dps too much but make it more remarkable , more importantly for hunters it should give more ranged crit chance imo since with book 10 our focus gain is mostly keen on succesfull critical hit from skills which you can get favour of deadly precision trait.
currently it gives around 0,4 crit chance for 30 agility i guess and having a cap agility you can get only 25 damage increase comparing to a moderate aglility focusing hunter.
Need to re-examine these values though ..
