This section contains subjective remarks about this class. Relevancy of information and recommended weapons can quickly change over time. Use substantial discretion before heavily investing resources.
Overview
Nighthound is a unique class due to its ability to swap in and out of the party. Since many MC classes provide valuable utility and/or damage, it is hard to justify using Nighthound which brings neither. Post-Ultimate Mastery, the class has gained access to some skills that help out in this regard, however its usage remains notably low.
