If you have points in both Huntsman and Geomancer, you can also learn Throw Dust, which blinds enemies. Wayfarer pairs Huntsman with Geomancer, giving you abilities such as Fossil Strike, which creates an oil puddle that slows enemies and can be lit with fire arrows. The two existing preset classes make for good combos.
