Hunter | Classes Guild Wars 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Hunter is a one of the most mobile hero in the game, who is perfect both in melee and distance. In encounters he can use pets and summoned spirits.

To get a new pet, you should just find an animal with the juvenile prefix and press F. From now one you've got a new companion. A hunter can have four pets at most, with only one active in the battle. What is more, he can decide when use one of the special pet's skill. Unfortunately, the rest is used automatically.

Hunter has also:

Group	Effect
Pet skills	Pet's skill.
Pet utility skills	Skills affecting your pets.
Spirits	Summoning of spirits.
Survival skills	Increasing your survival time.

While playing solo, hunters have to kill enemies one by one, best using bows. Thanks to that they can save life. Melee is a good choice if you want to cause maximum damage but you have to remember that you're vulnerable for the retaliation. Eventually you can use pet's help and retreat. In a group hunter has an easier task. He can both support his companion and focus on causing damage. It's very versatile hero, who is designed to appeal to every fan of elves archers.

During PvP hunters rely on causing negative effects and bleeding enemies out. They don't have the warrior's strength, but they can harass enemies from a distance. In a group hunter is perfect fitted for catching and slowing down the running enemies.
