How to play Blood Hunter (And actually win at PVP) levels 1-30

This guide is intended for levels 1-30
If you like this I'll make a higher level guide

Blood hunter is a (arguably) bad class in FPO. It has both close and far range options that are shit compared to a regular subclass and on top of that it removes the self harm abilities that blood warrior has making the only way for you to get cooldown resets and damage buffs are on kill or with bleed moves.

'So what makes blood hunter good?' you might ask. Well what the devs TRIED to do was make the blood consume skill automatically activate on a bleeding enemy except THEY FUCKED IT UP. The skill ONLY works on the FIRST proc of bleed meaning that you will only get ONE cooldown reset and damage buff in PVP which is a death sentence. If the enemy you are fighting is literally brain dead they might cure their bleed allowing you to use blood consume again but that's not what we are going to learn here.

Skills
Blood Consume - CD 0 - Effect: Consume a bleeding or dead enemy's blood and reset all of your combat skills
This is your lifeline, it allows blood hunters to chain their abilities and actually be a dps and not a waste of time. If you want to use this skill effectively you need to buy blood vials and I mean as many as you can stack. You can quick cancel your blood consume animation buy using a blood vial which tricks the game into thinking you've killed an enemy allowing your cooldown to reset and give you a small damage boost.

Bloody Mark - CD 8 - Effect: Mark an enemy and make them bleed as well as doing 7% more damage to them
Always bloody mark the person you are fighting. Blood Hunter already has an passive for doing more damage to bleeding targets so this is an insane boost in damage.

Rend - CD 10 - Effect: deal 300% damage and slow the target by 10%
Use this to kill ranged classes. They like to run and this will easily take cripple their movement, although not by much

Invigor - CD 15 - Heal 30% HP and bleed
You would think you can use blood consume on yourself because you're bleeding right? WRONG! This move is garbage and you should never use it. This will break the blood consume glitch and you won't be able to use blood vials until the bleeding ends.

On The Hunt - CD 5 - Dash 8 ft
A good dodge option. This actually give you I frames so it's good for dodging ults

Dagger Toss - CD 3 - Throw a dagger that inflicts PAIN
The pain status effect will make the next hit deal 10% more damage so you want to combo this with Rend for that sweet damage

In the shadows - CD 20 - Turn invisible for 4 seconds
This has twice the cooldown as the rogue's ability with half the time. literally garbage

Triple Slice - CD 3 - Attack three times with each strike dealing 60% of your damage
A very good opener

Blood Rain - CD 13 - Rain blood
This causes the floor to be wet and slippery which is a good mix-up against rogues and you can use consume blood on it.

Blood bolt - CD 0 - Shoot a blood bolt for 50% of your damage
This is one of blood hunter's two auto attacks. It has good range but really shit damage

Blood blade - CD 0 - Attack with a blade made of blood for 60% of your damage
This is blood hunter's second auto attack. It's also not too great

Strategies


PVP against Melee Classes
You want to open with Bloody Mark and then triple slice, only using blood consume to reset it's cooldown. If you are ever pressured by a real dps like rogue you want to use On The Hunt to get away. Don't ever touch In The Shadows. The constant resets from blood consume should allow you to outdps any low class dps in the game and if you are perfect with the resets it can even outclass good classes like rogue.

PVP against Range Classes
Always open with Bloody Mark, it might be the main source of damage in the fight as ranged classes have a FUCK TON of escape options. This is also the only time you ever want to use blood bolt. The small pings will make a dent in their HP especially in ranger and gunner (rip). If you were blessed by god or if the ranged player is an idiot you might find yourself close enough to the ranged player, this is when you want to use Rend. The slow is good enough and you'll be able to catch up and use your triple slice and blood consume resets on them. Most ranged classes will give you a hard time but it won't be impossible.

PVP against Tank Classes
NEVER open with bloody mark, tanks have way too many on hit effects and bleed will activate ALL of them. This is a bug as bleed normally doesn't do this with the exception of blood hunter's bloody mark ability (thanks devs) as if blood hunter needed to be put in the ground more. You want to open with your regular auto attack because doing too much damage too quickly will activate most tanks auto heal/ auto resist abilities. Once you get them to 60% start spamming the fuck out of triple slice in the HOPE you can out damage their comeback mechanic of never fucking dying. In general expect to lose against most tank classes.

Final Thoughts
Blood hunter is a fun challenge of a class because it needs way more resources than your typical class. If you like managing cooldowns and a SUPER high skill ceiling character than blood hunter is the class for you.
