Races. Dwarf, Elf, Hobbit, Man
Role. Nuker
Tracker, pathfi nder and master of the bow, the keen-eyed
Hunter can fi re arrows to devastating effect. Archery is
not the only thing in which the Hunter excels, for she can
lead her companions through Middle-
earth faster than they could travel on
their own, and can set traps to ambush
enemies. While the Hunter has decent
close combat skills, she would rather let
her bow do the work.
The Hunter will be the class of choice
for players who enjoy striking a target at range. Clever by nature, Hunters are
known to lure their targets into traps to hinder them, giving them time to
use their bows to deadly effect. A Hunter’s knowledge of nature also provides
skills that help her and her fellows survive in the wild. Their combat style
depends on their ability to wound targets while staying out of harm’s way.
Focus. Hunters have a Focus meter above their Auto-attack button. Focus is
increased by the use of several lower-level ranged skills, including Swift Bow
and Barbed Arrow; the “Focus” skill will completely fi ll your Focus meter.
As your Focus meter fi lls, you will be able to unlock more devastating skills.
Note that moving even slightly will start to empty your Focus meter.
