I recently became a hunter and I am a little stuck on what skills to get. I have:

Beastbane lvl 1
Skid Trap lvl 1
Falcon mastery lvl 1
Ankle Snare lvl 5
Blitz Beat lvl 5
Steel Crow lvl 10

What else should I get?

No tips or advice here? ...

It really depends on what stats you have. My hunter was a kind of hybrid build with about 90 DEX/AGI, 40 LUK and 20 INT. I was a ctrl-clicker, not going to lie. =P My main focus was on my bow damage and the luck I had made my falcon auto-blitz often enough that I didn't really feel its low damage output.

Since your character is a hunter, it's alright to make mistakes and try things out if you like, unless you don't intend to transcend and become a sniper. To be honest, the only trap I ever really used was Ankle Snare. I don't WoE or anything, so the rest of the traps weren't really useful to me. Because I don't know your build, I would tentatively suggest:

Detect: 4
Remove Trap: 1
Claymore Trap: 5

Those are really the only skills that you might really need. You could also get Spring Trap if you really wanted. With your current skills and the skills listed above, that would leave you about 10 extra skill points to distribute as you see fit. I ended up with a lot of extra points as a hunter as well, though I can't remember if I stuffed them into Beast Bane or other traps.

Awesome, thank you so much. I don't really like the traps myself. I do plan to become a sniper...ranger is my goal.

I appreciate the advice and tips I have a hard time with builds

Yeah, traps have never been my thing either. xD Good luck with your hunter/sniper! Ranger is super fun. Feel free to PM me if there are any other questions you have in mind, though I can't claim to be the best ranger out there. LOL
