A hunter or scout

[old.Rohirrim]

Could someone pls help me with this little dilema, i want to be a char like a hunter or scout. I would like to ahve a really good stealth, bow, and Melee, (bit much to ask for i know) Which one should i go for? Some one with a great stealth and melee is the sort of Class im looking for.
Any one know?

Hmmm, i know the Hunter can specialise in Spear wielding, which is able to do great amounts of damage in melee, but i can't compare it with a scout as i have no expertise in that char...

I think it's more up to someone's personal liking. Do you prefer cold, snowy forests or sunny plains, lush forests and foggy marshes? (Guess what i prefer )
That being said, the hunter is probably the better choice if you want to be fairly powerful in melee, while scouts have longer range (except for a few infamous bows in midgård).

And don't completely rule out the Hibby rangers

Those damn bows.... grr... quite annoying tbh.

well i like the hunter but i want to be in abloin lol, i heard that the scouts are no good in melee, and also when they lvl up there stealth they only get the "harder to undisguise" points

Well we get the faster-running-in-stealth and the harder-to-uncover only. What do hunters get then?!

 

[old.stroke]

Only assassins get anything more than plain stealth for their points. Albion is the way to go ofcourse
Secondary choice would be Hibernia, dunno about their rangers, but they're atleast not Midgårdians.

Yeah the assassins get that safe fall stuff...
Rangers are pretty cool with their buffs, I liked playing one but got annoyed with Hibernia since I had no idea where to exp at each level.

oh, well maybe so. I still do liek the hunter tho. Not to sure about a scout. I liked to be a hunter cus they could hide and at higher lvls pretty much be invisible

plus when istarted to play the alb kept running, seems that thve got ther act together now tho

No more of this "cowardly albs" stuff. Last times I have been to the emain PK of ours (albs) and we have charged... we all end up dying thanks to people like Thing and Enki and such...

 

[old.Rohirrim]

sorry for the noob question but i just heard of assasins, who r they? diff from scouts and hunters?

 

[old.stroke]

Last (first and so far only) time i was in Emain was after the failed retake of caer hurbury. We got there, and after the usual taunting, beckoning etc the albions charged down the hill. Two thirds of the middies fled, one third died. We then proceeded to the MG where the middies had taken stand and had some skirmishes there, very fun, until the middie reinforcements arrived and mowed us down.
Being only lvl 22 i didn't participate much, but it was still fun

er, sorry to hark on but rangers can stealth also

Anyway, if you need a hand finding your way around Hibby xp spots SFXman, do a /send Brad and I should be able to suggest some hunt spots

 

[old.stroke]

Assassins are the lethal left hands of the realms, using stealth to sneak up and drive poisoned blades (or anything sharp or pointy) into the backs/throats/knees of their enemies.
Middies have Shadowblades, Albion Infiltrators and Hibernia Nightshades respectively. I suggest you read more on the tarnished dagger for specific information:

so whats going on with midgard at the mo anyways? 1 min they rule the next hibs takin a come back and albs seem to be no longer "wimps" as the mid so lovingly called them

 

[old.Spiritwolf]

Afaik Middie got most of the population in the start, but recent patches and a more even realm population has started to show through, plus the fact that people have know had more chance to get some levels.

Apparently (but i don't know for sure) Hibby's are doing very well on the US servers even though Middy did well at the start there too.

 

[SFXman]

Will do Spiritwolf, about the hunting spots.
But anyway, I have also heard, correct me if I am wrong, that the Prydwen middies have much more US vets than the other realms. THis is just what I remember, not 100% sure of course. There are many other points we could say here that would suggest why the middies, on prydwen at least, are so über. However some will be denied quite strongly and I don't want to heat up this thread so I will leave it.

 

[old.Rohirrim]

could i just ask someone what are scouts like in melee and rvr?
