Their massive array of weapons
The Hunter is the ranged damage class and can do more damage to a single target per hit than any other class. It is also the class for yellow-bellied cowards and favored by Elves like The Chronicles of Spellborn Gold, though Humans can also excel at it. Hunters die easily and can not heal, so have to be careful not to build aggro in parties, which is tricky considering their massive array of weapons, projectiles and high-damage.
