Tips for Melee Hunter (exp Spells)?

[DonKalleOne]

Im planning to play a Dwarven Melee Hunter with a Wolf.
Stats: 17/13/14/10/14/8
Dwarven Longhammer and Medium Armor
Feat : Combat Reflexes
2nd Level : Outflank 3rd: Precise Strike + Power Attack or Weapon Focus

Spells : [0]Create Water, Detect Magic etc [1] Lead Blades, Longstrider
[2] Barkskin.

Do you guys have any Tipps for other spells? I dont think Entangle , Obscuring mist and Produce Flame is as effective as on a Caster Druid or im wrong?

Do you guys have another Tipps?

I like magic fang and verstile weapon, overcomes most DR with these spells :-)

Vine Strike is amazing for your Animal Companion. Resist Energy, Protection from Energy, Wind Wall, Fickle Winds, and Named Bullet are all great spells that you have early access to.

Monkeyfish. Sense Vitals. Faerie Fire. Also, consider Ironskin as an alternative to Barkskin.

Vine Strike works better on AnCs with multiple attacks.

With lead blades, vine strike and precise strike, even a mediocre pet is hitting pretty decently

Bear 4
1d10+2d6+5
1d8+2d6+5
1d8+2d6+5

That's not even counting Focus, Feats or other Buffs. On a large cat 7 it's wacky

Delay Poison is underestimated. Resist Energy is great.

Frigid Touch and Reduce Animal are both useful although maybe hold off on Reduce Animal until 7 when your wolf grows.

Once your hour/level buffs get up there, you can swap to Improved Spell Sharing the night before, then cast your longer duration buffs split with your AC, then swap it to something more useful while the spells are still going.

You really want to get Pack Flanking. Consider a one level dip into Wild Child Brawler if you have to.

If you're willing to worship a deity who would be CE if not for Dwarven Exceptionalism then Bloodsworn Retribution is your first 4th level spell. If you'd like a nicer deity look up the various other dwarven ones, they mostly have useful options, from Torag's feat to use spellstrike to Trudd's Mighty Strength.

Pack Flanking is nice but you need 2 Feats for it and an Int Score of 13.
To many Prequisite that I don't have. Maybe at some higher LvLs.
And as for Brawler Archtype which level should I take it below Lvl 5?
I want to go Straight to LvL for my LvL2 Spells, so I guess only on Lvl 5 it makes sense.

[Markov Spiked Chain]

Yeah, I'd push to Hunter 4 first if you're leveling up. Remember that Pack Flanking is a Teamwork feat, so you could take Combat Expertise at 5th (with Brawler to avoid the Int 13 req) and then swap your Teamwork feat to it. And get Martial flexibility for another teamwork feat, Improved Trip, Power Attack, etc.

The planar focus feat gives so many tools it should be your 5th level go to.
