Now my template number2 is a bit con version ......template nunber5 have nice stats but low resists so i am wonderning if i could waste a couple of Rp's for PD and AoM to make it a bit balanced but still have low hp and template number6 is the 1 i like more ..its has a couple low resists but...!

Now i am looking forward to hear ur opinions
Ty in advance

P.s Cba to post all those items so when i decide 1 i will post it

Hmm well ok. A mele hunter in NF.
I would go for defence defence defence. You are going to need it.

 

[Exarkun]

its not always good to aim for the +25 caps, ppl tend to neglect other important things just to get that 25cap.
Perhaps aim for a little lower stat cap, but increase your +AF bonus.

as kathal says, defence defence defence and AF bonus helps with that.

my personal priorities for a melee hunter are
1. 10% melee speed (must have really )
2. 40-50 AF bonus
3. str/dex/con cap as high as possible
4. resists, skills, other stats etc..
5. whatever melee/style dmg bonus you can squeeze in.

Can't really comment on the templates you made, cause they all look good. But its best to pick one yourself, as playstyles differ.

Winged helm + 40-50AF + AFcharge + Gov proc = easily 800+ AF and great defense

#2 seems the most solid out of those 5.

now i consider myself a melee hunter but i havent cared that much about str cap or dex cap all i wanted was to get full 50 af from temp and my 6 artis
and my spec helps alot i got 43bc for last speed and shield buff that gives me 785 af self buffed and if gov procs i get 844 af and that is as high as a archer can get in any realm and it helps alot more then a few extra points in str or dex and try to get resist as high as u can couse there are a few that run with thouse odd lw weapons and it can hurt alot if u got low resists



ps sorry for my spelling dyslektik cant spell or put out this things ... at the right place

No need to excuse yourself. Your opinion is just as valid as if it was spelled correctly and with perfect grammar. Thumbs up for posting even though you are dyslectic.

I have been a sword Melee hunter for about 6 mths now. I have 50 sword, 32 bc, 33 stealth, and 35 bow.

I did start out as a melee sword hunter 3.5 years ago and loved it then so thought it would be the way forward, I was wrong....

Dont get me wrong in that I love playing it for its challenges. However everything has to be focussed on artifacts, ML10 and Realm Abilities all favouring towards a melee spec.

I am personally going to change my spec very shortly and build my 5th template in one year although with 2* artifacts it wont involve any levelling thank god.
NF is all about range and this will never change, yes you need strong back up in your melee nowadays due to all the damage limitations out there but focussing on it solely is most probably going to reduce your RP's per week but give you more fun.

I currently run with SOM, GOLM, GOV, Scalers, Battler, Traitors, Winged Helm, Ring of Dances, Cold,Spirit,Heat Swords, AF Charged boots and haste boots,
plus all the Realm Abilities to back this up with IP2, Purge 2 (dont leave home without them) Str 2, AOP2, MOP2 cant recall the rest
