I love this class as starter for the first skill alone. Being able to keep track of ambushes mean so much when tumblers, zombies, dran swarms, root snipers appear out of nowhere to send you to the nearest world stone. Even late game it helps you keep count of adds, especially Bane on root earth. Not to mention the really nice long gun that comes with it, so far I havent seen a starter that offers such great stats and reliable oneshots in the early game.
Love how this class is a combination of damage and support with the Mark mechanic. Plus being able to keep your ability going forever with headshots is also pretty amusing. Definitely my favorite base class.

Thinking about using the 50% melee damage from shroud with something like a challenger or maybe explorer to make a backstabbing melee build. Havent tried hunter yet so idk if the shroud is good enough to get in melee range without enemies noticing or if they will lose Aggro if you shroud but it seems like it could work.
If shroud doesn’t remove Aggro then maybe a hunter-handler build could be better for melee since the dog can take the Aggro idk

The only ability that feels worth a damn is the first one. The second one requiring you to ADS without stopping for one second before firing is way too long to be used in boss fights, especially because it doesn't mention that Focus ends as soon as you drop your aim to do anything like dodge. When you activate it after staring at the boss doing nothing you get maybe half a second to start shooting before you have to dodge a boss attack again, and instead you could have just been firing the whole duration you were aiming at them for more damage.
The third one is a cycle of 50% damage increase for 2 seconds after not shooting for 1.15...which means in 3.15 seconds you deal 3 seconds worth of sustained damage. They're both literally worse than nothing.
Meanwhile the first ability marks enemies from extremely far away, even through walls, so ambushes don't work on you. You always know how many enemies are about to be in the fight because you can see them coming, AND your bonus damage isn't locked behind being inactive for an arbitrary amount of time before hand.

I anticipate cool synergy between Hunter’s Shroud and Invader’s Worm Hole - crazy stacking dmg multipliers right??
