Rank 3: Hunter
With 144 votes (9.42%), Hunters make it to the bottom step of the podium in third place.
What makes Hunters special? Hunters are specialists in physical damage at range, through companions, or even in melee. They rely on traps, wild animal companions, and their range.
They are considered one of the best classes for beginners to start with, and many continue playing long-term. Hunters are popular for their mobility and defensive abilities as well.
The specializations of the Hunter
- Marksmanship: Marksmanship Hunters are probably the most well-known ranged fighters, having a longer range than most other classes. They are particularly mobile but generally forgo animal companions.
- Beast Mastery: The majority of damage from Beast Mastery Hunters comes from their companions, which they continually enhance in battle. They send their animals to attack the opponent and use their abilities to ensure that the companions deal even more damage.
- Survival: Survival Hunters are the melee fighters of the class, fighting with spears and similar weapons instead of bows or firearms. They are suitable for both single targets and cleave damage but can only do one of them at a time.
