Moving while shooting?

dathylbran · 07-05-2007, 10:09 AM

I'm only at lvl 13, loving hunter so far.

But I was wondering is there a skill that allows you to shoot while moving? I've noticed you can't do specials, but I was wondering about the auto-attack.

cant do any ranged attacks while moving. kind a sucks cause in pvp close combat u have to stand still or maybe get killed by cc monsters instead of running away and keep the target on distance.
(yeah not every hunter looks for the dps of his cc weapons, some prefer the better buffs on them)
:P

Yes, as is the use of the bow is more like an archer than a hunter. It would make sense to allow moving while auto-attacking at least. No doubt it's a mechanism to reduce kiting.

that black arrows can move and shoot while, real hunters cant, gg turbine

in real life moving, drawing, sighting and loosing a 7ft longbow is not a viable option, its the same with a target rifle. shooting while stationary and standing is hard enough, especially if target is moving. you start moving and the problem quadruples. id hate to try a fire a barrett .50 sniper rifle while moving, and i now i cant do that with even a simple 40lb draw longbow

the monster player archer can do it so why cant we?

I agree, the fact a blackarrow can run after me shooting is stupid.

But oh well, monster players are far superior to normal players once they reach rank4+ so what's the difference. 4000 hp and they equal our damage, their guardians are actually healers as well and their reavers put champions to shame once they reach high rank with all skills.

Perhaps it will be balanced once players actually get rewarded for their ranks, but that's not even implemented in the game yet.

When moving, my hunter is too busy running away to get off a shot. All my other enemies are dead before they reach him.

It's funny, in the next Patch NPC's actually get Quiver's on their back as "intended" too, so..

Those mobs are able to shoot arrows while moving, AND they/npcs have actual quivers on their backs, what more does a Hunter wish for. D'oh!

Gz.
