Huntress just bad?

[Vampyr]

Is it just me or do the huntress skills feel not smooth at all kind of clunky and not at all what you would imagine a huntress be like. This doesnt feel even in the same vein as a ranger and I understand they are different classes but if they are in the same "archetype" why doesnt the huntress feel better but way worst? Again is this just me or....

[IsaacDragonHeart]

I agree as well very lame class not having fun with the class at all.

I'll take a look but if I'm gonna do that i might as well just play a merc right? That is mildly depressing. But appreciate the idea.

Ur supposed to make combos with a spear not just bash 1 button brain dead.

That'd be a nice thought...if auto aim wouldn't make you miss your parry, your retreat missing the parried enemy, etc

Or be able to attack before the mobs are ontop of you giving you micro stuns and interrupting attacks

yeah i get that but shouldn't combos feel smooth and not clunky and discordant? i feel like i'm watching my huntress try to get to the combo point and than when she does she does less damage than had I just not gone into the second part of the combo. But like i said I didn't level her very high to have more than a precursory judgement. do the combos later feel better?

Im also still lower level but it feels alright , seems u get something for every situation. , both ranged and melee.

an irish tribal girl who can make mini tornado's with her spear...... wow, what an imagination, what creativity.... the class looked like it would suck from the second i saw the video showcase. its another melee class that you will have to spec into a range in order to be effective.

this game kinda sucks to be honest. you are either some form of a mage, or you are some form of a ranger. selecting your "class" is almost pointless.

edit: im not mad, and im not about bashing the game. i just want to play a grindy, bloody frontline warrior and instead im forced to spec into a range build or i will never get my ascendancy points. you need 4 million honour to do those trials as a pure melee build. so you spec range, kill everything from a far, and call yourself warrior. looks like it will be the same thing with her

Tbf on that front you aren't really choosing a class anymore. You are just choosing a bunch of nodes in the middle of the tree and using them how you see fit lol. POE was always "praised" for this and now look at us lmaoooooo

Storm lance is great... with thunderous leap you dont need to parry anymore and with combat frenzy you dont even need leap anymore to detonate.

Bleed seems also to be good at some point but bad at the beginning.

Until you get storm lance just use twister. It's okay with whirling slash.

Besides that so far as I tested as a low lvl in act 2. Everything else is meh.

[Nomeat710]

I dont mind huntress, like im only halfway through act one. The only issue i have is Bleed feels like nothing but then again im just using the base rake without support gems yet

[Betrayer]

I think its only an early game issue
im melting bosses now, mobility is superb, attack speed is good by default, evasion is a good defense

you need more lvls,ascend points

[jmotivator]

I'm starting to think it's just bad, at least in the early game. The attacks with delays are just too weak to the point of being worthless. It's hard to work them into rotation when any other action cancels them.

I realize we are all just hunting (PUN!) through her skill set for what works, but this is painful.

If I can credit D4 for anything it is that they understood that time-to-cast is a far more important resource than mana, and so skills either cost mana or have a delayed cast, but not both.

I'm playing the Merc with a spear. Seems fine to me. Went from pushing one button with a warrior and annihilating everything, to having to do some combos.
