Most popular class?

First day and I saw many many many hunters, a sign of things to come perhaps?

I wouldn't think so, i tried hunter and to me, they seem pathetically weak.

Your character take 2-3 seconds to shoot an arrow, before you can shoot another, the enemy is at melee range, so i think its just best to be a Melee Class, cause thats where its fought out the most.

I saw Legolas moving AND shooting AND hitting his targets, so suggest the Hunters do that too and he was even shooting arrows every second...hell, most of the times, he didn't even need to aim and he got neck shots and headshots.

I just thought it would be like the movies, but it isn't. oh well.

Back to Melee for me, hmmm, Guardian, Captain, Burglar or Champion.....tough choice.

Nope - it's like the book, which the movie isn't

Hunter is a good class once you understand how to play it. My hunter is my favourite character (solo/duo), closely followed by my Minstrel (for groups).

I don't see as many other hunters now I'm around L20 - possibly a portion of the original hunter players cannot adjust to ranged combat?

You have to slot the right traits for your playstyle, mine are mainly for power and morale regeneration so I can hunt faster.

At L16 I've found that I've never really lowered my power low enough to warrant concern...

As for the Hunter class, once you get one or two things down it becomes a bit easier. You really need to be aware of what you're attacking and how many you're attacking. If you think it's going to be two of equalish level, set a trap, barbed arrow the furthest away. Because he has slowed the one closer 90% of the time gets trapped, allowing you to take out the slow one. You should use you're double arrow one's for this. Then you have to decide if it's worth using your accumulated focus on finishing him, or if you'd be better off using a standard attack and use the focus on the new guy.

if u add a quick shot while in stance strength u actually get 40% off the movement speed which will pretty much garuntee that mob dont reach the trap b4 the other

Im actually finding the hunter to be quite boring and I hope it has to do more with that then the game itself being boring..

But right now, Im finding it hard to motivate myself to log in

I feel the same mate, its that first hard slog, where you pass the training quests and you want to get stuck into the game and all it has to offer . . . dont do what im thinking of doing and creating a champion say, stick with the hunter . . . you'll not regret it

I'm level 20 on my hunter now... Ever since my life of MMORPGS i've always found it a pain and found it very boring to play ranged class... i've always played as melee fighters... Pikesman / Swordsman or TKM in SWG, Warrior or Rogue in WOW, and Warrior (?) in Guild Wars....


On LOTR i started as a champion and decided it was a time for a change... so i rolled an Elf Hunter...

I've adapted and can jump between the two class's and do both...

Admittedly on the hunter i can sometimes manage to kill a mob before it gets to me, giving the right stance and right combo or attacks... but when it gets close... Duel Handed at level20 sure does help!


With hunter its all about killing them before they get to you... Traps, Tracking.. Speed...

All about getting the jump on your opponent :P

I usually play warrior or paladins in MMOs so i thought in this one id be a Hunter. I haven't see too many other hunters though, usually champions and defenders, but on other class forums theres typically a thread saying "is everyone <insert that class>"

I always use to pick a mage type person but funny enough im a burglar now!! Really enjoying it i may try a hunter down the line but hmmm not at the moment !
