Comments: Currently when equiped with a Matchlock, your character still gets affected by attack speed and critical hit chance. Hence when you go hunt at narcion you will almost exclusivly see Musas, Strikers or Mystics at the high end level. You can compare it to grinding where some classes are better than others, but while hunting every class functions exactly the same! So there  is no reason why other classes are better than my current class I'm playing, and not by a small margin. Strikers or Musas pull 20%+ more than a normal class, since back attack and crit modifiers stack! 

As a side not Ranger is the best class for Sniper Hunting (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRhvANiKU8M) , please also make every class equal for sniper hunting!

Suggestions: Let your character be uneffected by attack speed and critical hit chance buffs while equiped with a matchlock. Relocate these buffs either into your Mastery level, your Hunting level or into your Hunting gear (or introduce Hunting food and draughts/perfume). 

Could go further with this...

Should every sailor have to play Corsair for the 1% boost?

Shai gathering/alchemy?

Shai is good for LT, but her gathering and alchemy passive is whatever.

And yes the 1% big boot passive for corsair is bs and should be removed. She is also number 1 for underwatergathering but she removing her mermaid form would be kinda stupid, so thats fine I guess.

Wait, Striker is better at hunting than Archers and Rangers? That makes no sense, lol. You'd think it'd be the other way around... Trust BDO to get it backwards...

I'd rather them not remove the passive buffs, and allow us some way to use certain buffs to customize our hunting experience. I made my Musa my hunter early on without this knowledge of passives affecting hunting, but I was lucky (I guess). Others won't find out unless they look at guides, which is unfair after you started leveling.

The Corsair thing is also weird, 1% to stats really isn't noticeable if we are being honest with ourselves, and it's more about padding our egos.

Overall, I don't like the idea that one class is better than the other at something, but, hasn't that been PA's m.o since the game came out?

We don't need things to make sense in our Fantasy game. /s

who cares, different classes are good for different things. just do it on a striker. you dont even have a pearl costume for hunting so there is like no problem

Also the fact underwater gathering is dead
