Hardest part about being a hunter is missing a shot and having to live with the embarrassment.

[@LockerDope]

true😭

[@bigfsi_smite777]

Ignore what is this guy said about helmet piercing arrows just go headshot refund and shoot their toe or body and you've a half chance to headshot anyway. U can also shoot without drawing full way knowing u basically have infinite arrows and ur not spending time adjusting aim

[@failegion7828]

@@bigfsi_smite777 I perfer shield piercer + headshot proc. Ammo only becomes an issue in nightmare. And that's more due to the fire spirits focusing the hunter usually.

[@bigfsi_smite777]

@@failegion7828 it's nothing to do with ammo economy and more so what u CAN do with infinite ammo. Longbow shots stagger so u can quickfire and kill off low hp targets without feeling like an arrow is wasted. If helmet piercing only works vs head and shield piercing only works on body why wouldn't u just wanna shoot their feet, it's easy to do and u headshot regardless ontop of inf ammo

[@failegion7828]

@@bigfsi_smite777 Headshot isnt always a guarantee if body shotting. So you maximize your dmg and range with a full draw. Longbow doesnt need to pick off weakened enemies. And unless you have stone-skipper your build isnt really viable. A miss or non crit will see you running dry and require a restock eventually. Spamming weaker shots will result in more time to kill. And honestly most hunters rather delete enemies from afar than be in the danger zone. Infinite ammo doesnt mean much when fire builds can clear pretty much any round with ease already. The hunter is best when not being focused upon.

[@dead7781]

This build was great before the skipping stone nerf. All Seeing Eye definitely makes a difference now. I recommend using it and getting better at headshots. Get your skipping stone to 120 and get headshot refund and helmet piercing. Spam headshots, don't worry about drawing, just build up your ult. Ranged Projectile Velocity is really useful here as it dramatically decreases how much your arrows drop and the increase in velocity makes it so you don't have lead as much.

[@sander8622]

what did they do to nerf it?

[@calumspaughton5215]

[@PROUD_CANADIAN78]

Hi with the Skipping stone bow today with all the updates, do you prefer Headshot damage with Draw Speed over Ranged Damage wiith Draw Speed? I've also heard some people say to use Reload Speed and Draw Speed with it. What would you recommend today with the updates. Also lastly I use a Hunter Charm with Fire Master but for the 2nd perk I normally use Combat Regeneration with my other characters, should I be using Resolve Gain instead with Fire Master?

[@kaijuslayer3334]

I don’t use aim assist at all after having tried it. Not because, gEt gUd. But because it often locks you on to a opponent without taking a arch or a moving enemy into account. So for farther away shots, it’s very hard to hit with auto-aim.

[@macgillicutty188]

[@robertlewis6855]

I run hunter charm with range resolve and hunter ability radius to make sure I cover an entire spawn with exploding arrow. Combine that with a headshot and you’ve nuked a whole group before anyone else can get there. Most maps have a great perch for you to cover most spawns from a distance with little movement. I only jump down with the melee peasants when there’s an emergency then right back to my perch for the next wave. Usually end matches with 150-170 kills. Occasionally I’ll break 200 if I’m just nailing my headshots.

just started hunter last night. i absolutely love it lol it shreds especially if u r able to get the ultimate back frequently. i made a samurai player leave the game bc i kept taking his kills lmfao. right now id say to get a lot of resolve gain % on ur gear, anything involving getting resolves faster like hunter charm with resolve gain, melee resolve gain on ur katana, range resolve on ur bow, the sudden resolve perk on a ghost weapon(try and get cooldown reduction on that ghost weapon to use it more often for that extra resolve) theres also injured resolve gain on the healing gourd which gives u faster resolve when taking damage

Shield piercing ammo is the play all the way. In later content too many enemies have shields. You can't waste 5 seconds per enemy lining up a shot in the raid. Even if the bounce gets blocked by a helmet, you then aim for that person's body to proc a headshot.

[@mckookie2967]

No it's not at all cos they only give u like 4 arrows. U can easily shoot the shield guys in leg to stagger them for the follow up headshot but u have to be good. The 25% inrease to all fire damage rolled perks is insane AOE to pass up

Vet nice,i will give it a try,look forward to seeing your Hunter nightmare build also.

[@ZugZwangin]

I found this particular review on the hunter both helpful and confusing/unhelpful. I am a purest and only utilize the hunter class. Archery in this game is so well done and so realistic it was so easily integrated into my game play, whilst enjoying the campaign. I am level 98, playing with no legendary perks or bows(but a level 98 long bow), and I am averaging between 200-300 kills per survival game play on gold. Staggering arrow is useless, enjoy the explosive arrow once It's unlocked as suggested. Utilize the archer perks at higher levels with fire master, Also ensure you utilize a 25%status effect increase technique. Utilize the archers primary special ability with added targets(technique) and the cool down technique as well. my latest game was 256 kills not even surviving the integral 20-25th waves(teammates had roughly 45-55-80 kills respectively). Ensure you either use Callops(incredibly useful and brutally underrated for legends) with explosive capabilities and either dirt throw with fire addition or the sticky bomb with explosive/fire capabilities. You will watch your games increase from 70-110 kills to 200-250 in no time. Hopefully this helps some with their archer class. As this gentlemen took a massive amount of time out of his day to ensure we had excellent information as well. Leave him a thumbs up and lots of love. I may not agree/know how to utilize his teachings properly. If you have a similar issue, Maybe my teachings will be of assistance. If not, this guy knows his stuff, we just have contradicting play styles. (also probably why his estimates for kills are 300+ and my range provided was between 250-300 ;P)

[@dead7781]

If you get a headshot with staggering arrow while using the skipping stone, it will hit as a staggering arrow, but seemingly ricochet as an explosive arrow. Idk if they patched this because I haven't used staggering arrow in forever, but I'm certain this was true. I would get a headshot with it and there would be an explosion and also set enemies on fire, but also stagger them. You got the best of both worlds. It was very strange.

Caltrops can deal significant fire damage but unlike the smoke, they don't stop enemies from attacking you so you won't be able to shoot them as easily, meaning your overall DPS is reduced.

I run 2 Legendaries with Spirit Kunai. Hit with Explosive Arrow, wait till they get low, Kunai, leads into Explosive Arrow being cut into at least a third. Get 20% Damage on Kunai plus 4 second CD on Kills, highly effective on virtually any build. Its also extremely effective with Munitions since that 120 second cooldown can typically be cut down tremendously more for endless ammo. Also, I almost always have less than 11 seconds on my Kunai cooldown with this build. A similar build on Ronin is hilarious with Black Powder Bombs. I actually will out kill other Hunters with this endless loop combo of dropping Munitions, throwing Powder bombs, Kunai, refresh.

Definitely found resupply arrow technique way better then 25% fire with the long bow you get 2 fire and 4 regular arrows pre one resolve with no resolve buffs you can EASILY get another resolve back with 2 fire arrow headshots sometimes I need to shoot a regular one but often you can just constantly deal fire dmg which is better and then 25% fire dmg when you pick up arrows. Also helps stay at range

[@Ecthellion1985]

If you're using headshot refund on the skipping stone bow (and you should be) then the resupply is useless, whereas the fire boost has synergy with the explosive arrow and other hunter charms. This way you can save your resolve for an earlier ultimate.

My main is hunter and lol yeah a lot of people are still fairly bad to be honest and yeah I do see alot of hunters stealing kill but that counts for every class even ronin lol, when people see my bomb arrow they go for the low health enemies that are on fire lol, it's just hunters are more obvious than the other classes. And by the way I can get to low 300 kills but that's because I can obliterate 2 waves quickly unless it's all heavy onis without help from my team, that's mainly because of my ult and bomb arrow, and I use my ult the first wave every round, talking about nightmare not gold. In gold thats easy but I do have to add if I do get good teammates I can't break to 300 kills. Mainly because my targets gets finished off by my team.

[@boubafett]

I feel your pain brother. It's a good thing the nightmare story this week is relatively quick and easy. You can spam that with a friend or random to try and get the skip bow. Caaaaause after the 40th run of severed hearts and not getting the bow I gave up lol

Do you have to play as hunter to unlock the bow? I finally leveled up enough ki for gold, but her current build I got isn't the best. Would rather grind it out with my assassin or samurai.

[@theroguemarksman2675]

Can you do a Ronin build?

[@dead7781]

This is a good build, but it's missing a lot of extra details. First, on your skipping stone, get ranged damage and headshot damage. Everything else is useless. Draw speed really doesn't make fully drawing the bow that much faster. I think it's like half a second? Reload speed is also useless because if you just stop aiming after you shoot and then immediately aim again, you'll reload pretty much instantly. As for perks, I would agree on getting helmet piercing, even if you use pinpoint. Because if the arrows ricochet into a helmet, they won't do anything. Nightmare and Gold are filled with helmets, so you're gonna be useless if you can't pierce them. And a small correction: the amount of resolve you get from headshots is constant. It isn't affected by how much damage the headshot did. So just focus on getting those headshots and avoid long draw times. Stay within 10m of the enemy and you can fire instantly and hit your reticle. Just getting 4 or 5 headshot like this will grant you 3 resolve. If you want quick and easy resolve then get a smoke bomb with sudden resolve. Use it when you're empty and you'll get 1 resolve and also become invisible making the enemies easy targets. You can literally just spam headshots. You could also get a sticky bomb with blast radius and increased radius; hitting just 4 enemies with it will grant you close to 1 resolve. But I personally like to run the new Bottle of Liquid Courage with Lucky perk. If you want to know how ridiculous it is, just look it up. As for everything else, just experiment. I would recommend though that if you're only concerned about your ultimate, then get as much ultimate damage on your katana and charm as well. I have 20% on my katana and 18.8% on my charm. .....it's crazy.

[@dead7781]

My build: 120 Moon Katana +9.4 melee resolve gain +20% ultimate damage Moon Master Way of the Flame 120 Skipping Stone Bow +10% headshot damage +12% ranged damage Helmet Piercing Shield Piercing 120 Hunter Charm +7.8 headshot damage +18.8 ultimate damage Foul Arrows Combat Regeneration 120 Sticky Bomb +23% blast radius +3.6s cooldown reduction on kill Increased Radius Fired Up 120 Bottle of Liquid Courage +15% cooldown reduction +4.0s cooldown reduction on kill Lucky Increased Healing Techniques: Explosive Arrow Legendary Status Damage All Seeing Eye This build is great at everything. Story, survival, rivals, raid, literally everything. And on any difficulty as well. You're a monster but a team player as well. Foul Arrows help you're team a lot, and using it with your ultimate will put WEAKEN on a lot of the big enemies whilst taking a big chunk of their health. Leaving them for your team to finish off. I used to run Fire Master instead if Combat Regeneration, but during testing I noticed that fire damage capped at 30% or so. This was because when using Status Damage alone, the difference was negligible compared to using it with Fire Master. All the other perks on the charm were useless and Combat Regeneration was surprisingly better than I anticipated. Works especially great during survival as you're moving between points and waves. It also makes up for the fact that you don't have other methods of healing. 2 weaknesses with this build, and their both minor: 1. Poison. I was really sad when I found out Combat Regeneration does nothing against it. It will still heal you while you are poisoned, but it won't remove the effect, which is stupid. Bottle of Liquid Courage can help with this, but most of the time it's unavailable because you should pretty much use it as soon as it's available. You maximize resolve gain that way. 2. Ammo. There's nothing you can really do about this anyway, so it's more of a weakness on the class and not the build. Scavenger could work, but Combat Regeneration and Foul Arrows are so much better. Headshot refund isn't as OP as it used to be before they nerfed the Skipping Stone. I actually used to run it and it really didn't help that much. I found Shield Piercing to be much more useful, especially since you won't miss that many shots trying to hit their head over the shield. You could try using Shield Piercing Ammo instead of Status Damage, you get an extra 6 arrows that way, but you're fire damage will be weak. You'll notice it especially on Gold. Personally, I find that both of these aren't really that problematic. Poison is rare. And as for ammo, just use you're focused hearing and you'll find a restock nearby; there's alway one. And don't forget to use you're fire arrows as well as pickup ammo drops from the enemies.

People fail to realize 50% more damage when headshots are close. Ie nm survival. Using an explosive arrow close range in a group of Oni using a fire build, will melt any enemies in range. 90+% to hunter aoe and you clear the screen with one shot

[@keywan8096]

[@monoespacial]

This is absolutely amazing on Nightmare tbh. People running the NM Leaderboards haven't really nailed down a Hunter build since some prefer reducing the cooldown on the explosive arrow and some like maxing damage like this build.

[@amateur-madman3047]

How can you say that pinpoint isn’t body shots doing headshot damage when that’s exactly what it says it does?

[@monoespacial]

I'm saying the game treats it like an actual headshot. It's not just headshot damage. Anything that procs with headshots will proc with those 50% of body shots.

[@tomasdelcampo2]

Wait so how do you not run out of arrows

[@monoespacial]

Munitions on the smoke bomb create arrows you pick up. Whenever you are really our of all arrows, pick more up from the shrines and also once you defeat any enemies make sure to pick up any arrows they dropped.

[@UclaChris1]

Is there a big difference between headshot damage and ranged damage?

[@monoespacial]

Ranged is better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKayepKApKylqZI

[@jonesyc1833]

Headshot since the perk grants 50% headshot damage within 12m. I never once use pin point since skipping bow says it in the name and get tonnes off kills and I mean tonnes, but the thing is, my setup is made for close combat. No draw speed whatsoever and melt purple oni just with an normal arrow or a fire arrow. Pop an explosive arrow or an ult and watch everything go from 100% to 0% slowly dying including purple oni and that's without a fire build. If you like close combat then you'll deffo like this setup. Add us up TheNykophilia

[@afailable]

The faster draw speed after getting an assassination of critical strike is way better imo

[@monoespacial]

I don't think it is. Top level players going for rank 1 on the leaderboards use 2 hunters and 2 ronin and neither of the hunters use that perk.

[@afailable]

@@monoespacial maybe if you're going for rank 1, but in my experience being a regular player just farming roll points and gear the draw speed is much more useful

Why not ranged damage instead of draw speed? Ranged increases your dmg

I don’t have the skipping bow and as Hunter you still get the most kills by far.. it pisses teammates off cause it makes the fist 15 waves very boring for them so I started playing different legends or slow play the hunter so I don’t ruin the experience of others. Also don’t be that hunter that disregards the objective to kill enemies in zone and goes off killing the wave in spawn boom objective lost. Actually that applies for ronin bombers as well
