The original concept of a hunter was that he was suppossed to become a master of nature and the art of stealth.
When I used to think of hunter I used to think of people who scouted the land under the cloak of nature, hid in the night under Stalker, then they would come out and fight you.
Unfortunatly any idea of a hunter I have now is a blantantly overpowered class of people who pop in and out of nowhere when your low on hp, and kill you, if they don't happen to kill you, they run away on low hp and come back again, like an annoying little mosquito.
There is no class more annoying than the hunter, though there are people who preserve the old image (the kind of people who don't run away and enjoy a real respectful fight)
