The Hunter is the ranged DPS king of the Lord of the Rings Online. In a group, that's more or less the Hunter's sole job. They are a fast-playing class - they run fast, they hit big numbers which bring enemies down fast, and they have the ability to quickly guide their groups anywhere in Middle-Earth.

On the eve of the launch of
Free-To-Play, eager new players may need a little bit of guidance when
rolling up their fresh-faced new characters. We thought a
brand-new, comprehensive class guide for Hunters, arguably the most
popular class in the game, would be a good place to start. This guide outlines aspects of solo play, group play, and
PvMP from Archet to endgame, from individual skills to trait lines to
legendary weapons.
