AC2:Bounty Hunter

=Human Bounty Hunter=



Introduction
The Bounty Hunter class is one of the specialization classes of the Human Melee tree. (The other is the Defender.) You can choose a character class when your Human character reaches level 15. By choosing the Bounty Hunter, you gain access to a set of specialized skills that require the use of two melee weapons.

"While Humans may be the trickiest fighters of the three races, the Bounty Hunter may be the trickiest of the Human skill paths. Bounty Hunters use any means necessary to overcome their opponents; to them, there is high virtue in poison, disease, and shock attacks."

Quick Guide to the Bounty Hunter
Bounty Hunters (BH) are the human melee Damage Dealing class, and are exceptional at taking single non-boss targets down quickly. The Bounty Hunter has access to a stun, poison (attack speed slow), and very powerful shock (vigour damage), as well as a party weapon buff providing vigour damage over time on hit. The real power of a Bounty Hunter comes from the high critical chance of their skills, and massive armour-ignoring damage. Favored Blades provides a triple hit capable of massive critical damage, Puncture provides good bleed damage, and the combination chain - False Pretenses, Ruse, Betrayal - ends in possibly the most devastating attack in the game, dealing tremendous armour-ignoring damage, in addition to a strong attack with a high chance to critical strike. A Bounty Hunter may also cheat death, using the skill Fate's Forgiveness, buying them some time in which to finish off their Bounty target.

Bounty Hunters are often favoured for KVK and PVP. In PVE Bounty Hunters provide a mezz, and may also Feign Death in order to fool monsters into thinking the BH has died (in fact, early in the game's history, it was used as an exploit to take down large bosses with impunity), and a vigour over time buff to help them keep up the damage on group targets and bosses. They are also the best choice to loot big bosses and caches, as their Lucky Charm buff can provide a better chance at loot.
