Witching hunters, duh

Is it a hunter of witches or a witch that hunts?

>>738746917
Wait, which hunter?

>>738746917
Ranged combat in all of its forms
Which in the elder scrolls is just archery and magic.

>>738746917
using magic but not relying on it to oppose magic users
it's one of the things i hate most about the witcher franchise the literal witchh̶u̶n̶t̶er ditches the human healer in favor of not one but two fucking witches

i thought it was a marksman + conjuration build. basically, you conjure creatures to be your pets/tanks, so you can shoot arrows from afar.

You do know that Sapkowski named witchers a male version of the word "witch", right?
Geralt doesn't hunt witches. He's a dude witch.

>has weaker version of true magic
>hunts all manner of magical miscreants
witch was a much more generic word for the supernatural a couple hundred years ago
witchers are explicitly witch hunters(ostensibly)

Sapkowski literally made up his own masculine word in Polish for a dude witch specifically to say that witchers are dude witches. It was originally translated as "hexer" before witcher became the standard English because that's the German word for a dude witch.
I suppose you could say that witchers are witch hunters in that they are witches who hunt.

wou know what wasnt good against? FORKS KEK

authorial intent be damned, being made into a freak to hunt conjunction monsters is no different than blade being a half vampire who hunts vampires
the whole archtype predates the witcher franchise

>>738751782
they're MONSTER hunters
not WITCH hunters.

>>738752261
yes but they adopt the monsters powers to hunt them
witchers are themselves monsters
blade is a monster
to be an oblivion witch hunter is to use some magic to kill magic users
it is the whole deal, a little noble hypocrisy to rid the world of a worse evil

>I hate the Geralt is friends with witches because he's supposed to be a witch hunter
>he doesn't hunt witches and his occupation is literally "witch(male)"
>well if you look at Marvel's Blade...
take the L and move on, bro

gray wardens from dragonage
witch hunter class in D&D
van helsing
witcher is derivative and shani is best girl

>>738752896
none of that changes the fact that Geralt isn't a witch hunter
it's quite literally not his job while witch is

>>738753193
>it's quite literally not his job while witch is
they literally pay him to hunt witches several times
are you not sober?
