Playstyle
The Hunter fights from range with a bow or gun and has a tamed companion at its side. Aspects adjust its style, for more attack power or faster travel, and Feign Death and traps help when things get tight.
Background and lore
In the classic world, every hunter starts by looking for a first pet: from level 10, a class quest teaches you how to tame. After that you roam the world in search of rare companions, from ghost wolves to big cats. Those who made it all the way could earn the epic bow Rhok'delar in Classic through a long quest chain.
