My experience of SS has always been a damage bonus in the neighbourhood of +50 or more, depending on the mob or equipment. (Though if DS is that much better, I should get a much higher bonus from it). Hopefully a warrior can test out the differences between SS and DS on Anum.
I also don't know if Hunters need a subclass specific spell that does roughly the same thing as one in a shared tree. The duration of DS is 30 seconds at all levels. Even at level 1 the duration of SS is 20 seconds with the same -50% protection (while the DS buff scales from 5% to 20%). The SS debuff can also be used by any class, and is useful against targets on fort walls.
Another objection I have is that the Scouting tree seems to be filling up with damage buffs which are more of the territory of Marksmen. (Death Sentence for example, was moved directly from the Aiming Mastery tree into Scouting). It just seems the Hunter is going further down the road into Marx-lite instead of a class based on stealth.
