Woodsman, pathfinder, and master of the bow, the keen-eyed Hunter can use his arrows to devastating effect from a distance. Archery is not the only thing the Hunter excels at, for he can lead his companions through the forest at greater speed than they could on their own, and can set up traps to ambush enemies. The archer is no close-quarters fighter, however, and would generally rather let his bow do the work than resort to his sword.

The Hunter is the class of choice for players who enjoy striking a target at range. Clever by nature, the Hunter is known to lure his targets into traps to hinder them, giving him time to use his bow to deadly effect. A Hunter's knowledge of nature also provides skills that help him and his fellows survive in the wild. A Hunter's combat style depends on the ability to injure a foe while staying out of harm's way.

 

Skills of the Hunter

 

Quick Shot: Allows the Hunter to nock and loose an arrow quickly.

Set Trap: The Hunter's survival skills enable him to lay traps to ensnare enemies.

Purge Poison: The Hunter's survival lore allows him to use naturally-occurring medicines to purge poisons from an ally.

Barbed Arrow: The Hunter's arrow causes a wound that bleeds and slightly slows movement speed.

Swift Bow: Loose two missiles in rapid succession.

Rain of Arrows: The Hunter rains five arrows down upon his enemies, allowing him to hit multiple targets.

Scourging Blow: This attack wounds the Hunter's foe, dealing additional damage if the enemy is suffering from Barbed Arrow, but stops the bleeding.

Blindside: Divert an enemy's attention with a single melee strike and follow it with a single bow attack at close range.

Low Cut: The Hunter makes a low cut in front of himself which can temporarily slow the movement speed of up to two enemies.

 

Traits of the Hunter

Here are some of the Class-specific Traits the Hunter can obtain while adventuring in Middle-earth.
