Hunter

Class Difficulty: Basic

Role: Damage

Available to races: Dwarf, Elf, High Elf, Hobbit, Man, Stout-axe

Gameplay: Hunters are proficient at dealing significant damage to a single foe at long range. Their basic bow skills generate Focus, allowing them to use even more potent skills. If a foe manages to close into melee, the Hunter's dual-wielded weapons are capable of dealing a final blow. In Fellowships, a Hunter concentrates on quickly defeating foes one at a time.

Lore: Hunters are masters of field and forest, unmatched in their dexterity with the bow. They use their survival skills to guide companions and lay traps for enemies. The coming of the Enemy has forced them to adapt these skills to use against new prey.

This class was inspired by Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood, a mighty hunter and companion of Aragorn.

Role

Nuker - The Hunter is proficient at dealing out damage to single foes at both range and melee. When the Hunter is at range, they can unleash devastating arrow shots that do high damage to single targets. When the solo enemy finally manages to close into melee range, the Hunter is well-equipped to deal the finishing blow with some of their melee skills.
The Hunter has three different trait specialisation sets: the Bowmaster, the Huntsman and the trapper of Foes.

• Huntsman: The Huntsman is a mid-ranged mobile harasser who excels at sustained damage, while navigating the battlefield. This versatile build allows the Hunter to kite and deal with more than a single enemy.
• Bowmaster: The Bowmaster is a stationary, high-impact build that focuses on bursting down targets before they can get into melee. While grouping for DPS, this is usually the wanted Hunter specialisation, as it simply deals the highest damage.
• Trapper of Foes: The Trapper Of Foes functions as a utility build that focuses on sustained damage, AoE, and crowd control. In this build, the Hunter can take on multiple mobs at once by trapping many of them, to prevent being overwhelmed.

Focus

In addition to Power, Hunters use another resource, Focus. Some abilities generate Focus (such as  Quick Shot), while other (usually better) abilities spend Focus. A Hunter can have a maximum of 9 Focus (each 'pip' on the Focus meter represents 3 Focus, also marked by a small crosshairs icon). Abilities will spend Focus in multiples of 3 (1 pip); most spenders consume 3 focus / 1 pip, but a few abilities consume more (see  Merciful Shot).

A Hunter must stand still to maintain their Focus. The Focus meter will start to deplete if a Hunter begins moving, and can quickly empty to zero if a Hunter moves too much. Choosing to specialize in the Huntsman (blue) trait tree will entirely remove this penalty.

Range

All Hunters have extra range on ranged weapon special abilities and auto-attacks, able to fire from up to 30m away. Hunters specialized in the Bowmaster (red) traits can fire from even longer distances, up to 40m. Auto attacks can always reach up to 40m.

Equipment

The Hunter is able to wear Light Armour and Medium Armour.

Hunters are able to apply Oils on their Ranged weapons to inflict additional damage or other beneficial effects.

Hunters are able to equip a Hunter Book in their Class Slot to lower the Power cost of certain bow skills, reduce Threat and raise either their maximum Morale or Power.

Mounted Combat Skills

These skills can be used only while riding a war-steed, and only while in the regions of East Rohan, Wildermore, and West Rohan. Passive skills which improve the war-steed's defensive capabilities remain effective even in other regions, but serve only to prevent forced dismount due to enemy attacks.
The three different stances (Riddermark, Rohirrim and Red Dawn) influence the effects and damage of the different skills, but all skills are available in each stance.
