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

Like many other classes, Hunters gain so many abilities over the course of their gamespace lifetime that it would be unwieldy to list them all here. Therefore, we took the approach of presenting them as a series of links from the following table, which contains the first rank of all abilities possible for the Hunter to learn.

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 either purchased from Pet Trainers or learned from pets that the Hunter has tamed. Pet skills can be taught to other pets the Hunter might tame in the future.

Click on a given ability's name and you will be taken to a page with more in-depth information about that ability.
