A Windhawk, the advanced 4th Job Class after Ranger, has become one with the wilderness and is capable of wielding the power of the wind to deal devastating damage to their enemies with their mastery of the bow and arrow. Armed with new skills to shoot powerful Crescive Bolts with pinpoint accuracy and summon the power of a Gale Storm with their arrows, Windhawks can also endow their body with the rage of the Calamity Gale to embody the terrifying power of mother nature's gale force winds.

Furthering their bond with nature, they also have the ability to communicate and form even stronger bonds with wildlife, allowing them to use both their Warg and Hawk animal companions together in combat.

Windhawks have also advanced their mastery over Traps by borrowing other facets of mother nature's fury, such as Fire, Wind, Earth, and Shadow, to imbue these special traps with new elemental powers.

Beware the Windhawk as they hide an immense, often untamable, force behind their demure and nature-loving appearance.

See Windhawk Job Change Guide for detailed information.

The job change quest involves the Ranger to survive all ten in-game days with nothing but materials and tools left in and around the cabin. Once they successfully escape, they are blessed with the powers of the wind.

See Hunter Skills or Sniper Skills for 2nd class Skills. See Ranger Skills for 3rd class Skills.

Focused Arrow Strike (Alt: Sharp Shooting) is a Transcendent 2^nd class offensive skill first available as a Sniper. This is a continuation of the same build from when the player was a Sniper through Ranger and still remains a strong (and cheap) build for the Windhawk, especially with new 200+ only gears.

Shoots a mighty, piercing arrow at a single target for Ranged Physical damage that hits both the target and any nearby enemies or enemies caught in its flight path.

• This skill has a chance of inflicting Critical Damage, with an added innate bonus of 1.5 x Player's Current CRIT Rate, and applies half of the player's total Critical Damage bonus.

Gale Storm (Alt: Gale Storm) is a 4th class offensive skill available as Windhawk. This build is natural progression from Arrow Storm but, due to Calamity Gale turning this into a Critical Skill, it is best used in tandem with a Focused Arrow Strike build due its longer Cooldown and better synchronized stats/gear. Once gear is obtained to remove its Cooldown, this is the strongest leveling skill available to the Windhawk.

Inflicts Ranged Physical damage on the target, and to all enemies in an area around the target, 5 times. This skill will regenerate 10 AP when it hits 3 or more enemies at the same time.

• Damage increases additionally depending on the player's Base Level and CON.
• If the buff Calamity Gale is active, this skill has a chance to deal Critical damage, which applies half of the player's total Critical Damage bonus, as well as increasing damage against Brute and Fish race monsters by 50%.

Crescive Bolt (Alt: Crescive Bolt) is a 4th class offensive skill available as Windhawk. This build is a progression from the Ranger's Aimed Bolt but with added ability to Critical hit its target.

However, since this skill is single target, this build is not recommended for leveling and is more for MVPing and Instance Bosses or generating AP.

Shoots an arrow infused with the power of the wind that inflicts Ranged Physical damage to a target once. This skill gains a damage bonus in exchange for increased SP cost every skill cast, stacking up to three times. This stack is removed if the player moves, has been pushed away from their location (such as from a Knockback effect), or if the user did not cast the skill again after 10 seconds. The amount of AP generated depends on this stack, starting at 1, but maxes out at 3 per cast.

• This skill has a chance to inflict Critical damage, which applies half of the player's total Critical Damage bonus.
• Damage increases additionally depending on the player's Base Level and CON, as well as its "Stack Count".
• If the buff Calamity Gale is active, this skill does 20% more damage as well as increasing damage against Brute and Fish race monsters by 50%.

Hawk Rush (Alt: Hawk Rush) is a 4th class offensive skill available as Windhawk. This build is both a progression for the Hunter's Blitz Beat and the Ranger's Warg Strike auto-attack builds, plus the Sniper's Falcon Assault manual-cast build, but with added ability to Critical hit its target.

However, since both the auto-attack and manual-cast versions of this build are single target, this build is not recommended for leveling and is more for MVPing and Instance Bosses.

Instructs your Hawk to strike an enemy from afar like the piercing blow from a sword. Inflicts Ranged Physical damage on a target enemy that hits twice. Much like the Hunter's Blitz Beat or the Ranger's Warg Strike, this skill can auto-cast on basic attacks, with the chance determined by CON and Nature's Friend skill level.

• This skill has a chance to inflict Critical damage, which applies half of the player's total Critical Damage bonus.
• Damage increases additionally depending on the player's Base Level and CON, as well as your level of Nature's Friend.
• This skill can only be activated and used when equipped with a Bow and your Hawk has been summoned.

Note: If shadow equipment is enchantable by a spellbook, it's recommended to get POW or C. Rate on the second line option. The effects on the first line option is not usually a priority but ASPD +1 is usually desired if it is.

The main purpose of this skill is to deal high damage and quick burst shots to the enemy, preferably generally strong enemies such as MVPs. To achieve this, the player needs to deal as high as possible DPS by increasing you damage per hit and reducing as much cast delay as possible to the point where you are able to do 7 hits per second (see ASPD#Hits per Second).

Use of traps is possible if allowed by map and enemy mechanics but it is quite unpopular nowadays due to the gears themselves carry the damage of the skill rather than allowing the player to use actual in-game strategy.

Due to the lack of defensive skills of the job, it is usually encouraged to bring a tank for harder content such as Geffen Night Arena for them to deal with the incoming damage while the player concentrates on defeating the boss.

It is possible to use this skill against normal monsters but one may find it overkill and lacking in terms of range and no AoE. This is why in most normal scenarios such as leveling or item hunting, Gale Storm and Hawk Rush are more preferrably used due to their more specalized functions.

Gale Storm is a skill unique to this job. It can be used as an alternative or used alongside Arrow Storm due to their similar function and characteristics.

Gale Storm is a strong area skill that has similar mechanics with Arrow Storm but has a larger AoE and has the ability to deal critical damage while in the Calamity Gale effect. This skill is usually used as a side skill for Crescive Bolt builds for AP regeneration or a general area skill for hunting and leveling and is almost never used as a main skill. This skill also has incredible range which enables the player to cast the skill from far away.

If one does decide to build solely for Gale Storm, the player is most likely to be gear locked with the Moonflower Bow and Moon God Lapel combo which reduces the cooldown of the skill to 0.5 seconds. If the player decides to not use this item combination, they can cast Arrow Storm in between cooldown of Gale Storm if the Arrow Storm damage can be justified to be used.

This build is the natural progression to the falcon builds for Hunters or Snipers and the warg build for Rangers. Besides the main skill being Hawk Rush which enables the player to deal massive damage to enemies, the Windhawk's hawk also gains the abilities of the falcon, including all of the falcon-related skills such as Blitz Beat and Detect. Being able to use a warg alongside the falcon will help gain the Windhawk gain advantage in the field.

The Hawk Rush build is an alternative boss damager build that excels at dealing damage at a longer range than Crescive Bolt for both manual cast and auto-attack. The auto-cast heavily relies with the user's total CON with having 150 CON will effectively let the player auto-cast Hawk Rush at 100% chance.
