Spear is much more difficult solo unless you are an absolute master at the 1v1 back stun. Sword has an off-block stun that you can follow up with a 2handed hit. So, not absolute bullshit.
People who speak in absolutes are bullshit.

dude really... stun is useless since everybody will purge it anyway. what makes spear strong is the .68 anytimer and the option to change dmg type.
with sword you are bound to slash only which is a huge disadvantage vs hib stealther and if you take a look around you wont find any descent sword hunter on this server. many tried it and respeced to spear again.
you should play classes yourself before spreading you pen and paper daoc knowledge.

I did just fine with my Sword Hunter during beta. I don't have time to play and template multiple 50's after launch though. Playing does not equal pen and paper

at the end i like more spear. the big + is the choice for thrust/slash,the backstun and the higher damstats/ws.

If I wanted pure melee hunter
50spear
43BC
45 Stealth
11bow
I guess if you want to drop stealth to 45/35 you up the bow
Also can drop best speed
Well you would be moving fast under stealth which helpswatbrif wrote: ↑Sat 19 Oct 2019 8:38 AMgotwqqd wrote: ↑Sat 19 Oct 2019 8:35 AMwatbrif wrote: ↑Sat 19 Oct 2019 8:23 AMJust out of pure interest: how does one play a melee hunter? Do you guys still open with the bow?

Or is it marginal?
Also the 50 spear bleed...does it come into play? Or is the fight determined before it matter much?
Runental wrote: ↑Mon 21 Oct 2019 9:02 PMTherefore i have a question to some styles aswell,- cuz im a bit new on this..
Can any1 explain me how EXACTLY does style bonuses work?
Lv. 12 spear "Dismissal" for example.. Nothing special about this anytimer except the "HIGH" Defence bonus.. but i do not see any difference when i test this style (just done on Mobs atm).
When i count 1+1 after using this "unimportant style" my Defence i.e evade shoudl be higher?
How exactly does this work? Or are all bonuses unimportant because they do not work?

why so many ppl dump so much into bow? its well known that it does nothing for you... better get higher dex if you guys want to run sniper hunter.

Since I am RR5 your spec isn't really possible. You'd either have to run with 49 composite stealth, or give up the spear backstyle, neither of which is a very good idea. At RR6, you might have a point.

i currently only have 49 stealth and dont miss anything... especially when you want to be a sniper anyway, you want to stay in areas where it is not common for sneaks to roam.
at your rr i would suggest you to up spear skill though

Anything above 51 weapon is for the style, 47 makes no sense as you gain nothing for that extra above 44 if you plan on using that style. That's an extra 140 spec points wasted for nothing

okay mr. progamer then tell me whats the benefit of a purged stun?
btw try to get a two part evade chain off with a hunter vs evade7 opponents
for sure it looks nice and strong on paper but in reality it is not
you can also ask the higher rank SBs here, they dont even bother to try to get their stun through because it is going to get purged and then you have to reapply all the poisons.... if you manage to the the two part chain off in the first place...
also as a hunter if you want to kill rangers/ns in melee you have to d/q and asr debuff them which is hard enough since there are no debuff weapons for hunters you have to charge that and now you want to stun your target and get purged? lol
if you dont have a clue, better shut up

(Good luck landing Extend Reach on an assassin, with their insanely high evade rate)
Razor's Edge and Perforate.. also very situational, hard to land most of the time. Even hitting a target with Razor's Edge, stunning them, then getting off Odins Wrath, still doesn't damage as much as it should.
I think someone did the maths wrong when computing the spear styles. The spear growth rates aren't as good as they should be.
