The effects of Expert Hunter
Expert Hunter: Cost: [5400 / 5310 / 5220 / 5130] Stamina.
Invoke your expertise in anatomy and enemy behavior to detect stealthed and invisible enemies around you for 5 seconds. Exposed enemies cannot return to stealth or invisibility for 4 seconds. While slotted you gain Major Savagery and Prophecy, increasing your Weapon Critical and Spell Critical rating by 2629.
Evil Hunter: Radius: 12 meters.
Invoke your expertise in anatomy and enemy behavior to detect stealthed and invisible enemies around you for 5 seconds. Exposed enemies cannot return to stealth or invisibility for 4 seconds. While active, increases the damage of your Stamina costing Fighters Guild abilities by [22 / 23 / 24 / 25]%. While slotted you gain Major Savagery and Prophecy, increasing your Weapon Critical and Spell Critical rating by 2629.
Camouflaged Hunter: Invoke your expertise in anatomy and enemy behavior to detect stealthed and invisible enemies around you for 5 seconds. Exposed enemies cannot return to stealth or invisibility for 4 seconds. While slotted you gain Major Savagery and Prophecy, increasing your Weapon Critical and Spell Critical rating by 2629. You also gain Minor Berserk for [2 / 3 / 4 / 5] seconds after dealing Critical Damage from an enemy's flank.

Expert Hunter will reveal hidden enemies and prevent them from returning to stealth for a short time. It will also grant you increased Weapon Critical and Spell Critical just by being slotted. With the Evil Hunter morph, it will increase the damage of all non Ultimate Fighters Guild abilities while active, while the Camouflaged Hunter morph grants you a damage bonus from flanking attacks that do critical damage while the skill is slotted.

NotesEdit

  • Like Magelight, this skill is mostly useful in PVP as very few NPC enemies use stealth attacks.
  • Prior to Patch 5.1.5, Camouflaged Hunter provided Minor Berserk when attacking from stealth.
  • Before Update 10, this skill gave your attacks a chance to deal additional damage against all targets, with a greater chance against Undead and Daedra, with increasing duration for each Undead and Daedra killed. It also passively increased your Weapon Critical while slotted, and allowed you to see Undead and Daedra better. Evil Hunter also added Stamina restoration to the on-hit chance, while Camouflaged Hunter dealt even more damage when attacking from stealth.
  • Before Update 6, this skill gave your attacks a chance to deal additional damage to Undead and Daedra, with increasing duration for each Undead and Daedra killed. Evil Hunter also added Stamina restoration to the on-hit chance, while Camouflaged Hunter always dealt additional damage to Undead and Daedra if you performed a stealth attack.

  • Fixed an issue where the weapon visual effects from abilities such as Grim Focus, Siphoning Strikes, and Expert Hunter could get visually detached from the weapon.
