Deconstructing the Hunter class

Class/Lore/Fanfic
#1

(I like hunter, but I like being an asshole more)

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Passive 1 (Revenge):
If found guilty of treason, kill your accuser before your execution.

this can be terrible for BD, such as if you were framed by the scorned and get sheriff/paladin killed.

Passive 2 (Isolation):
Occupy immune.

just turned this class into claim for possessor (killer _ occupy immune), will probably be killed by prince all the time.

Night Ability 1 (Wolf Companion): 1 use
Summon a wolf companion to attack a player. They will bleed and die in 2 days.

A killer class who’s only ability that allows him to select who he will kill has 1 use.
additionally, the hunter has fund someone he so strongly believes to be scum that he uses his 1 use on them, and he has to wait 2 days for them to die. OK if he is 1 v 1 the assassin and has his 2 traps left.

Night Ability 2 (Spike Traps): 2 uses
Set spiked traps in your home to hurt intruders.
If trapped, the visitor will bleed and die in 2 days, if untreated.
You will be night immune.

like this one, nothing bad to say really.

Bleeding players can be healed by either the Physician or Alchemist.

tryna make the alchemist side with scum more often, eh?

Complaint in general:

-Only three nights of ability use

Over all, I think this class is good, lot of guess work though.

#2

3+ no-consequence kills

#3

So what you’re saying is, your sole reason for posting this is… to be an asshole?

:+1:

This has nothing to do with anyone siding with scum. BD can bleed. Unseen can bleed. Cult can bleed. Neutrals can bleed. It can heal anyone it wants.

Having a place to hide for NK isn’t a bad thing.

Good job pointing out what the ability does.

It doesn’t need any work, it’s fine. I see no issues. Honestly, I’m actually really glad this now exists because it creates more places for scum to hide with their claims.

wow I can’t even make a self deprecating joke.
clearly a joke.

alchemist can’t heal night shade, but can heal bleed,which is a BD only ability.
I’m fine with making alch side with scum more often, just pointing it out. The title is not “Hunter class EXPOSE/RANT!!!”

bad for hunters.
though I will say hunter will make VFC happen less :+1: (non sarcastic thumbs up) (that wasn’t sarcastic either) (nor this or that)

The killer class that only selects his target once.

A lot of guess work, as in "as hunter, you will need to guess when to use your abilities (traps)

#5

Nah, I don’t think it was a joke.

Sheriff needs to guess who Unseen are.
Knight needs to guess who’s going to be attacked to protect them.
Princess needs to guess when to wisp or who to check.
Observer needs to guess who to watch.
Should I keep going?

he has infinite uses of his ability, not 2.

Knight guards infinitely, hunter guards himself twice.

this is a choice between 2 infinite use abilities; hunter is "Do I trap and potentially hurt BD, or do I do nothing, not to mention I only have 2 traps.

once again, does this infinitely.

keep pitching, I’ll keep swinging.

#7

You’re still guessing. That was my point. Nothing to do with how many uses you get.

#8

they are different types of guessing. Sheriff guesses who to target, hunter guesses if he should even use the ability.

#9

There’s nothing wrong with that.

If multiple people visit Hunter on a night he uses his trap, he’ll do more damage than a Knight would.

There’s a bigger pay-off.

#10

Hunter is Vet on steroids. That what it is.

#11

Okay. Can we agree on that? (Why did I do two posts fail)

#12

sheriff and paladin visit others nearly every night.
so does observer, knight, physician, and many other BD classes.

Master Mind doesn’t. Poisoner assassin doesn’t. cult leader doesn’t (he kind of does, but half the time he is visiting a cultist.) etc.

#13

You wanna start listing off the converted side too? Or are you wanting to just ignore that?

Servant. Duchess. Sellsword. Herbalist. Invoker. Possessor. Reaper.

You missed quite a few actually but it’s okay, I’m here.

#14

there will be one unseen converted class visiting every night. There are more than 5 BD visiting every night each game.

Yes, you can catch reaper and possessor. This is much less of chance than catching a blue dragon, however.

#15

No reward was without sacrifice.

#16

Stop you two. This is devolving into a fight.

#17

No, it only becomes a fight when shit like this gets posted. So please don’t.

#18

I was deconstructing this class not because I dislike it but because I thought it would be fun to do so and I am actually looking forward to the class.

Please stop rushing to defend it when 1) it isn’t under siege and 2) you haven’t even played as it yet.

“But Norm, you haven’t played it yet”

Yeah, but you seem to take my deconstruction much more seriously than me.

#19

Mhm K. I’ll step out now. I’ve said my points.

#20

actually it’s weaker
