Monster Play: Uruk Blackarrow

By Martuk

The Uruk Blackarrow is a herald of ranged damage. Considered the counterpart of the hunter class this creature prefers to deal damage from the back of battle. Its ranged attacks make it a vicious damage dealer in any battle. Like a hunter it can also aid its allies with the use of traps.

Finding your place as a Uruk Blackarrow in the dark lords service is an easy one. Stay to the back of battle shielded by the warriors of Angmar and deal your damage. Uruk BlackHarrow’s should avoid hand to hand confrontation with any melee class fighter as they will surely lose that battle. From a distance the Uruk Blackarrow is a force to be reckoned with, but in close quarter combat they can find themselves vulnerable and if not careful overwhelmed.
