Red

Overview

The Red Hunter provides excellent high DPS through long-range stationary attacks. As a class, Hunters have always been a reliable choice in raids and instances for a long time due to their ranged attacks capable of dishing out high-burst damage while staying. Making them ideal as a DPS for all types of content. With the ability to trait for more AoE damage, they can also dish out significant damage to multiple targets, which is useful for trash pulls.

Stat Priority

For stats you’ll focus on Critical Rating -> Physical Mastery -> (Enough)Finesse -> Tact/Phys Mitigations -> Vitality

When it comes to stat prioritization for a Red Hunter, Critical Rating (25%) should be prioritized over Physical Mastery (200%), followed by Tactical Mitigation and then Vitality.

Keep in mind that, through the traits Shoot To Kill and Critical Eye, the cap for Critical Rating is increased to 30% and the cap for Ranged Attacks is increased to 210%.

Virtues

Main priority is damage virtues, but stats are easier to get now and there is a lot of finesse floating around. You can replace Wit, Valour or Confidence with Loyalty or Honour to reduce your finesse and improve mitigations and morale.
