The Hunter is actually a absolute damage dealing class and is not capable of either tanking or healing. Their primary damage is produced by their ranged attacks that they make with a Gun, Bow, or Crossbow.

The Hunter is known for his power to tame pets which will battle for him. The Tame Beast ability appears following completing some Hunter quests at level 10.

When you finally tame a beast you’ll be able to summon him any time you please. Additionally you can leave your pet at a stable, which will generally be located outside of the Inn and near Hunter trainers, while you tame another.

You may have two pets in your stable with one at your side and you can then change pets for different occasions, The pets recently attained their own personal talent tree making them much more powerful compared to what they were before.

The Hunter, in most cases, can still do much more damage than his pet. He primarily fires shots and stings at a distance. He also has great slowing abilities to keep enemies away from him such as traps, and slowing shots.

He is a versatile damage dealer which should be moved around a lot. Killing is still something he is very good at with no class as good as the Hunter.

The Hunter can Feign Death. I like to compare that to playing possum. This saves him in many scenarios from being killed, which ultimately saves him a lot of gold in the long run. The Hunter does have various other expenses that the other classes do not have such as requiring ammunition as well as food for their pet.
