Dunno wtf you guys are talking about. Wild Hunter's mobbing isn't near as bad as you all say it is lol. 2nd best of the archer class and with criticals it can hit pretty good damage.

Pro's

2party atk buffs + 1 one for him/herself, that makes 3atk buffs.
SE buff
Moving while shooting
Swipe
Got decent amounts of HP at 3rd job
Skill with cooldown are exactly as much as the duration, so never playing without them.

Cons,
IDK, some say mobbing is bad, but with explosive arrow while moving you are able to kill quite some monsters quite quickly.

Honestly Phantom's Damage is lower than Wild Hunter.
Wild Hunters have the highest HP out of all archers, Strongest % Hurricane, Buffs are really good, The only thing Wild Hunter lacks is mobbing but it's really fun to boss with.

How are Wild hunters unfunded? Do they require a lot of funds to do decent dmg?

[quote=Arazthoru]got 40% hp from jag and 80% from zeker, the phantom got 30% from buff and maybe 60% from stolen HB, also I want to believe that capturing the white snow jag gives 50% stance to the 55% from the skill that's 105% stance O_o, also for some reason dodge is far superior than avd because even having the 90%avd in the phantom the wldh got 40% dodge and 20% avd and my phantom get hitten more often

wldh have a little invincible frames when using swipe+drain
the double tap from tempest don't work anymore[/quote]

Basically sums it up. Phantom had his time to shine but is now one of the absolute weakest classes in the game after the nerf. Even if you're not a damage oriented player, the stolen skill nerf and switching cooldown makes the class a very thin shell of it's former self.

[quote=guerratrades]Is actually the archer class with the most amout of HP (80% more thanks to feline berserk) I'd say that it has almost 2x phantom's hp.[/quote]

Pros:
100% Stance Potential
Strongest Hurricane Skill
Drain
Decent Range Mobbing
Can Attack While Moving

Cons:
Magnus is harder for them because they are elevated off the ground -_-
Getting 100% Stance isn't easy.
Mobbing isn't the greatest when compared to other Archers.
A popular hacking class
Some User Interface issues, for example can't hit small animals w/o ducking for some skills.

You'll be rather unique, seeing as wild hunters are rather rare now.

Phantom: Has a variety of skills to "steal" from Adventurers, agile, and pretty good damage with no funding.
Con: the 30s delay when changing skills.
WH: Very high speed, mobbing&healing skill at 3rd job, very high damage with low funding.
Con: hard to jump up small platforms with Jaguar

I am just giving a brief summary of the jobs and are based off my opinion. Others might be different and say WH are weak and crap but trust me it is actually pretty good.
