Hunters left out?

[marzuku]

So far ingame i have seen 1 hunter high lvl, this is why:

1.They cant trans up to lvl 16(dunno when they can and if)
2. no special skill that makes them "special" besides being able to use bow in a different manner.
3.they use alot of mana spamming tornado.
4. their heals are manually clicked.
5. an average hp pool.
6. no spells which really increase their damage to an ammount that counts.
7. Haste buff can take as much as 30% of their health if they hit a area with alot of monsters, therefore it doesnt count as a buff since youd rarely use it.

Also in pvp we need a single attack which does alot of dmg, used to be eagle eye but thats a normal dmg attack now.
Some spells which could be developed to actually make hunters interesting, suggestions though.

Arrow Storm:
which would use massive ammounts of energy/mana to fire but would do alot of dmg, like a finnishing attack, well basically you would fire like 4-5 arrows at once which would go in a kinda Curve out from the hunter and into the target, spell could be named "Arrow storm"

Hail of arrows:
And a Area effect spell for hitting multiple targets "Hail of arrows"

Shadowstep:
And since hunter is supoused to be the speedy class i suggest that instead of run attack they have Shadowstep or something consuming just as much as a run attack but it is faster and you will only see something looking like a flash, and he could move fast past some minor objects trees, monsters etc like warriors leap.

Noticed that a player would take advantage of my long range attacks and he attacked me if one of my arrows hit him, so we really need a -monsters -all button soon.

any one else feel like hunters are gimps ingame.. tell the developers why.

Also found out Rapidshot doesnt work, and i dont dare try leap out on gaps because i think it doesnt work similar to the warriors leap.

Also wonder why i cant shoot the test dmg skellie from long range, tornado works but not regular shooting.

I haven't played a hunter enough to be able to answer to many of these, but there are a couple I can help with:
* /monsters, /all are in the game.
* I do believe that you can shoot the skellie, though the one time I tried my char walked up to him before firing.
* I don't know about trans or leap, but that's what trans wands are for, right?

Over in another thread, Karl has this to say:

In this next update, I'm trying out something new that is a more standard buff. It should also solve the problem of hunters not having enough MP and fighters not doing enough damage.

That should help some, too.

Karl, you're awesome, period. Melee/Hunters are great now.

[Karl G.]

Ha...so yeah, hunters are wicked fast now. Their DPS is a bit insane, but this next update will make things more fair.

Haha I saw this coming!

Hurricane does the same damage as Tornado, only difference is the MP usage.

Fixed for tonight's update.

Very cool, thanks. One more thing: alignment seems to be bugged as it hasn't risen ever since the reset.

Keep up the good work.

After all the ballancing is done, is there any chance there will be a stat reset karl? Now the the damage is nerfed some, my build is really really bad. I can't hunt liches without a group anymore =/.
Edit: Trolls are also difficult at level 28... o.O

Earlier today he mentioned that there will be one.
