Hunters are scouts, gunslingers and rogues. They have the most mobile movement, a Dodge as their class ability and Supers built around precision and tricks. If you like speed and style, this is your class.

Subclasses

  • Gunslinger (Solar) – Golden Gun and Blade Barrage.
  • Arcstrider (Arc) – the Arc Staff and Gathering Storm.
  • Nightstalker (Void) – Shadowshot tethers and invisibility.
  • Revenant (Stasis) – Silence and Squall.
  • Threadrunner (Strand) – Silkstrike and threaded attacks.
  • Prismatic – combine Light and Darkness abilities.

Who it suits

Players who like mobility, precision and flashy plays. Hunters are popular in PvP, and invisibility makes them handy in PvE too.
