I'm not sure, its been several months since I last played the demo. But I won't be surprised if that's the case. I have no idea what hunter's purpose in the game is at all. Seems to be just an generic back row attacker that shoots arrows and have the option to summon a slime but why would I want to summon a slime when it means replacing an priest that does far more damage and heals my party. lol
Oh and about my avatar, I've been using it since the day I joined this forum and I have no intentions of changing it at all and I vaguely recall his avatar as well. Feels like i've seen him post before with same avatar.
About the avatars: It's fine, it was just because i glanced over it without paying enough attention, thought it was amusing to mention.
I've just started a new game and thought to make the MC a hunter, apparently hunter got a few new skills since the last time i tried one (possibly never did) A poison arrow attack, and a fire arrow attack. Neither of which need you to be using a bow hilariously. (Used both while holding two chakrams)
The former does what you expect, and the latter does a little better than normal damage, i'm only about lv 11 so might find more.
I kind of feel like a lot of these classes are pretty useless, though i like the selection.
I mean, blacksmith exists. LOL.
I imagine the author is using the demos to try to fine-tune weapon balance.
Understandable, but it's constantly shifting, it doesn't feel like balance so much as i wonder if they're rewriting all the weapons stats every so often without looking at what they used to be, but remembering vaguely where each tier was.
Edit: Actually, the more i play, the more i'm finding changed mysteriously, maybe for streamlining, maybe for adjustments, idk, but sometimes it doesn't seem to have reasons.
IE: changing which progression item was for sale in the seaside village (previously was the magic plank, later on it's the power bracelet), removing the one-way door in the sewers (i guess it wasn't useful?), i recall there were two separate keys between the outdoor chest building and the sewer door, but now the silver key opens both...
