Hunter (Physical)

If you have tested out a few classes or are new to the game and overwhelmed by the affixes and attributes, physical hunter is a narrow build from where you can think of other builds. In this build we will ignore dealing elemental damage and offline bonuses.

I will also be paying attention to opal restrictions so that this guide reaches more players. Without unlocking anything you can easily make it very far, you may still unlock additional active and passive skill slots when ready but this guide does not take that into account.

### Race

This character is intended to be mainly active and learned from, we are not focusing on offline bonuses. At 50% Orcs have the highest physical damage but at a low experience bonus. I recommend Orcs however you can trade for Undead at 10% physical damage for 15% more experience.

### Attribute Point Allocations

We are going to aim for 2 allocated Strength for every 1 allocated Vitality (not total). Throughout the game you may also allocate points on Dexterity to maintain 90% or higher hit chance but this will be a fraction of the allocated vitality.

### Active Skills

* Multishot
* Frozen Arrow
* Mana Arrows
* Quickdraw

### Equipment

Before acquiring each Unique and Set item for this build during the late mid-game you will have to progress on standard (Medium) Armors, Weapons, and Jewelry. To utilize these items we have to already know which types of affixes we want. Setting up filters for each item and affix rarities slot takes about 10 minutes.

### Essence Overrides

Instead of trying to find the already rare affix combinations and then also require the affix rarity, we find the affix rarities separately from our affix combinations with 4 layers of overrides with increasing rarities designed to reduce clutter.

* The Default Override (Layer 1 - Catch all)
	+ This irremovable override is handy in the late-game to re-roll rare affixes with rare relics and can be left at **S** or higher, doing so will also hide any cluttering drops not listed below so we can focus on drops only for this character.

Since Layer 2 contains all build affixes I will also show what items each affix shares here. Minimum rarity can drop from **AA** to **B** or lower if you have no essences yet.

### Standard Item Affix Building Overrides

Items which drop including unlisted affixes can be used temporarily but should probably not be upgraded, especially if it is a completely useless affix to the build (eg: ?% increased weapon poison damage). Increase the minimum affixes once you have found the matching item and decrease if you have to few.
Evasions are singled down to ?% increased total evasion because of its link with jewelry but other evasions are acceptable.
