Wild Hunter Overview

Released in the second part of the Big Bang patch (V94), Wild Hunter is part of the Resistance set of MapleStory classes, which include: Battle Mage, Wild Hunter, Mechanic, Xenon, Blaster, Demon Slayer and Demon Avenger. Wild Hunter was one of the first Resistance classes to arrive, alongside Battle Mage. The release of Wild Hunter was the start of the onslaught of new MapleStory jobs being released every single year.

Wild Hunter was remastered in patch V267 MapleStory x One-Punch Man Patch.

Wild Hunter proves to be a great class to play, especially with the latest remastered skills added in V267. Whilst early jobs you will mostly be attacking using your Wild Arrow Blast skills, your skill set opens up more as you progress towards 5th job. Like most new classes in MapleStory, Wild Hunter gets plenty of mobility, map control skills and has great damage during end-game.

As a bossing class, Wild Hunter is fairly easy to use. You do have plenty of cooldown skills to manage when you get to 5th job and beyond. When bossing with Wild Hunter you'll start to use your Jaguar as a companion for it's skills, rather than riding it. Managing the Jaguar cooldown skills is important for burst damage, but it's quite easy once you get used to playing. Wild Hunter is a hurricane class, so you'll enjoy seeing lots of lines of damage when fighting bosses. You also get a 12 second i-frame 5th job skill called Primal Fury!
