Marksman Active Skills

[Nikopol]

What are the ones that unlock at level 20? And is there an alternate way to generate focus other than going invisible?

Thank You!

Yeah having to cloak is the reason why I'm not touching marksman again, kind of didn't like the Mercenary either in the beginning until lvl 10 when you can increase HP regen =p

[Jack Twist]

One of the abilities is a lightning bolt you shoot, doesn't cost focus, and if it kills the enemy you regen 10 focus.

Eh, you only use focus so far for the poison attack, which is more just an aoe attack. It does heavy damage, which makes the wait for invis worth it. Don't forget you also get a speed increase AND regenerate health pretty quickly.

Overall having to cloak isn't that big a deal to me, just make sure to max the aoe dmg on shoot and you're golden, don't ever HAVE to cloak. lol.

I actually have a high level sorceress and I love the active playstyle with spell spamming. I'm just wondering if it's possible with the marksman or is there downtime between skill uses.

Would really appreciate if a high level marksman wrote what the lvl 20 skills did!

i played sofar every char for a while around lv 15-20 and MY PERSONAL opinion sofar is that Marksman ist the worst of all 3 Chars and i realy dont like it to have them in Party already !

-The Mercenary is a very good Tank with high Dmg and group support like vul. Debuff and he can delay Monsters a very long time !

-The Mage can perma spam Lightningbolt every 2 sec with 418% Dmg which hits for me for 4,5k crits sometimes (lv19), at the same time he stuns for 1 sec every enemy also he can buff a nice area with +150% Trap dmg and she has a high surviveability with her invul shield !

-The Marksman has not the best dmg because his skill goes over 5 sec which means using it more then every 5 sec is a waste of focus, sure you can buff it with passiv and the + poison dmg skill + high crit rate (which not high at early levels ) but this seems to me way too much only to make a skill usefull ! His basic skills is nice and fast and his dmg is fine ! Marksman is ok for short fights where he goes in stealth after each of them but in longer fights with tough enemys they run out of focus pretty fast and either they run away and reg focus/health which means they do nothing for a while or they spam the basic attack which is ok but still weak compared to other classes skill spam in longer fights also they cant delay monsters for long and there overall surviveability is low compared to others ! But still i have to say i dont know which skills he get with lv 20 if he doesnt get something strong/OP he will have a tough live !
Like i said its my opinion !

My impression on Marksman from SP only: seems to be weakest of all characters.. unable to put down a mission-boss by himself. Once any monster gets past the reach of his traps (armored, golems, various champions, bosses) he's in serious trouble. Also a group of ranged enemies can kill him almost instantly while standing still and shooting. It's the only character unable to complete missions with 3 stars right away (or i play him completely wrong, unlike the other 2 chars).

I dunno i like the marksman, though i have little to no play time with other classes.

I see marksman as a really good map managment character, for a team or solo.

Hes got skills that buff traps and turrets, which is handy.

He works well as a hit and run, like ill go to a wave of enemies, buff traps do a poision line shot then run to another spawn and let my defenses clear.

For bosses i do just fine, not the fastest killer but i can hang behind them and kill high hp targets with little fuss from them. The cloak makes it easy to zip around the map.

id assume the sorceress is an artillery spammer, the tank is well...clog up a lane with him...

marksman is the guy that runs around managing the map, as i see it.

I know from other threads his fire and ice skills can do massive damage..when fully leveled, i have his main auto attack somewhat maxed (passives not quite there) it does well enough killing any boss before they get close to the base...

Only if there isn't any source of poison DoT nearby, as it will happily overwrite DoE'd Poison Streak attack. Wait, you put points into Poison Bolts? Then you will never see a PS DoT lmao. They will even overwrite each other which is pretty useless on 3 shots per sec. attack.

Too bad you can't regenerate gate points which you will surely waste by constatly cloaking.

So the whole hunter's "gameplay" comes down to spamming auto-attack? Gr8 game design.

[dOBER]

i agree half of ur posts. marksman is weak till lvl 40 and after it he becomes stronger and stronger.

this is not true. he got 2 very good skills witch do much more dmg then autoattack

here is a video of my marksman on inkgate t4. all pll how played this know how hard this waves can be

Y'know what irks me about having to cloak to regain Focus - it makes you self-conscious in multi-play - "yeah I can see you need help but instead of helping you I'm going to run over here and do nothing for a few seconds while you're getting your a$$ kicked so I can help you kill the thing that's kicking your a$$...eventually. Just hang in there........

Almost ready....

...o you died.

Fully max out grappler bolt and shock bolt, with the damg stack per kill and damg after uncloak.. and ur set. Grappler is alot more better than the poison skill due to a bigger AoE and les focus cost, plus it can pull and slow (pull doesnt work on co-op if not the host same goes for the focus on skill with shock bolt)
