Hunter is an expert tracker capable setting traps and using bows and guns in battle, as well as the ability to tame beasts into their pets 9 Dragons Gold and the ability of crowd control, tracking, and a nice boost in damage output. Pets can provide a nice distraction or deal high damage of their own. Not naturally adept at close quarter combat. While you can spec your talents to build up your melee skills with the Survivability School, it's really a waste of good talent points. Even if you spec for full melee you will find that the Hunter doesn't take a beating well and getting up close and personal with a class like the warrior is just plain suicide.
