This is an archer: he deals damage from a distance, and Long Shot (113) increases shooting range by 200. The core of the damage is Double Shot (19), from level 76 Lethal Shot (343); Stun Shot (101) stuns the target for 9 seconds and drops its target. A special feature of the Hawkeye is Snipe (313) (lv. 60): a big boost to P. Atk., Accuracy and range at the cost of immobility.

The weapon is a bow: Bow Mastery (208), Long Shot (113) and almost all attack skills depend on it.

Where to level

Zone levels are approximate.
