It's not just a guy with an AR15 like you see on videos, though I'd prefer an AR15 to hunt them with. The best way is to take of them is through massive live traps and either modern sporting rifles or even machine guns in helicopters. Swords made for hunting were typically used by nobles who did not want to use the common spear.11/13/2018 10:02 AMPosted by Nemesîs...
Equipped with thick, razor-sharp tusks, and a razor-sharp mind (hogs are the 4th most intelligent animal in the world) a wild boar can weigh a staggering 660 lbs and exhibit extremely aggressive and unpredictable behaviour. Go hunt a wild boar with a knife, I'll speak at your funeral.
I don't think reality is the best place to look as a reference for a game where we tame magical creatures and can fly.
Let's ask a more basic question: why can hunters STILL dual-wield (since vanilla) if the devs had not wanted some form of dual wielding for hunters all along? If they hadn't wanted it, we would not be able to equip 1h axes and fist weapons. And with the revamp that made Surv a melee spec, why were those abilities not taken out? Why were 2H swords and 2H maces not put in?
