🏹Hunter Job
On Classic Reimagined the Hunter adds bow volleys, three grenades, a slowing trap and four falcon/arrow attacks based on Windhawk skills. The falcon/arrow attacks scale with DEX and Base Level. Hunters can also normal-attack while walking. You play it by kiting and weaving different custom attacks to trigger Hunter's Instinct, using grenades for groups and Focus Fire, Crescive Bolt and the Hawk skills for single targets.
ℹ️Classic 99/50 server. Custom skills are learned from the normal skill tree with skill points, after their prerequisites: the basic ones unlock from a related class skill, the strongest ones need another custom skill (usually at Lv 3) or a signature class skill first. Values below are for the current patch (November 2026).

Class Signature: Hunter's Instinct
⭐Class signature: a built-in bonus every player of this job has. It needs no skill points and works automatically: follow the pattern below to trigger its bonus.
| Who | Normal Hunter with Beast Bane Lv 5 and a Bow |
| Build | Hit with an eligible skill (Tracking 8 s), then with a different eligible skill |
| Ready | Instinct Ready for 8 s (buff icon) |
| Bonus | Next eligible cast: +12% damage to the main target (+6% vs players / PvP / GvG) |
| Recovery | 10 s |
Every normal Hunter with Beast Bane Lv 5 and a Bow equipped has this passive. It costs no skill points and you don't activate it.
| Eligible skills | Focus Fire, Poison / Freeze / Explosive Grenade, Hawk Rush, Crescive Bolt, Gale Storm, Hawk Boomerang |
| Tracking window | 8 s |
| Ready window | 8 s |
| Bonus | +12% damage vs monsters/MVPs; +6% vs players, player-owned units and on PvP/GvG maps |
| Recovery | 10 s |
Notes
- Step 1: do HP damage with any eligible skill to start Tracking (8 s).
- Step 2: do damage with a DIFFERENT eligible skill before Tracking ends. Instinct becomes Ready (8 s).
- Step 3: your next eligible cast that lands gets the bonus. It can repeat either earlier skill. An easy rotation is Hawk Rush, then Hawk Boomerang, then Crescive Bolt.
- You can switch targets between steps, and killing blows count.
- Only the primary target of the empowered cast gets the bonus. Splash enemies and grenade ground pulses don't.
- Slow Trap, normal attacks and autocasts never count. Missed or blocked hits don't count either.
- After the empowered hit there is a 10 s Recovery with no new Tracking. Buff icons show Tracking, Ready and Recovery.
- Death, warping, logout or unequipping the Bow clears unused Tracking and Ready, but not Recovery.

| 2 | 541% | 812% | 594% | 12% |

| 4 | 838% | 1258% | 891% | 16% |
| 5 | 987% | 1481% | 1039% | 18% |
Notes
- Blind lasts 4 s. Bosses are immune.
- It can crit.
Changed Native Skills
- Normal attacks: Hunters can keep auto-attacking while walking, and attacking doesn't add a movement delay.
- Blitz Beat: damage per hit = (DEX / 10 + AGI / 2 + Steel Crow Lv x 3 + 40) x 2. It uses AGI instead of INT.
- Double Strafe: 2 hits, 100% + 10% per level above 1 per hit (190% x2 at Lv 10).
Tips
- Weave different custom attacks to trigger Hunter's Instinct, and save Ready for your biggest hit, such as Crescive Bolt at 3 stacks or a full Focus Fire volley.
- Build DEX. All four Windhawk-style skills (Hawk Rush, Crescive Bolt, Gale Storm, Hawk Boomerang) scale with DEX and Base Level on top of ATK.
- For groups, start with Slow Trap, then use Explosive or Poison Grenade (both leave two follow-up pulses) and Gale Storm. Freeze Grenade can lock down a pack on its 10 s cooldown.
- Keep a Falcon equipped. Hawk Rush and Hawk Boomerang can't be cast without one, and they don't use arrows.
- Poem of Bragi reduces cast time and after-cast delay (Gale Storm's 0.8 s cast, Crescive Bolt's 0.4 s) but NOT cooldowns such as Freeze Grenade's 10 s or Gale Storm's 5 s.
