Hunters are light, fast warriors that shun the heaviest armor. Their agility and training afford them many defensive maneuvers and the use of a large variety of weapons. To survive in the wild, Hunters have learned to be the masters of deadly shots with bow or gun, as well as expert trappers. Their swiftness and expertise with ranged weapons is a sight to be seen. And their abilities only further the effectiveness of such weapons.

Abilities tables

The Hunter can purchase abilities, obtain new abilities by gaining them as a natural course of the game mechanics, or learn them from their class trainer. Pet abilities are learned from special talent trees.
