Tips and tactics

• Use as often as possible when you cannot get out of melee. But getting out of melee should be a priority. Wing Clip and getting away is a preferable melee move.
• Because Raptor Strike is an instant attack, Hunters have a good incentive to carry slow, hard-hitting two-handed weapons since it does not matter if your weapon is slow.
• As of , this ability does not cost any resources, but is now a part of the Global cooldown.
