I completely disagree. Hunters are outside of the game in a way that no other class can be. They have almost no combat function in a fort war situation (at least one that will get them RP, like tracking enemy movements). In a fort war situation, they dont do enough damage, as pet is very easily killed went sent into the teeth of the enemy, and without being able to stack a fight in their favor (no disrespect intended) they dont do very well. Smart ones take rep shot and stalker to both get rp and contribute, but as a whole, they have little use at fort wars, at least not in the way that locks, conj, and marks do and barbs and knights used to.
Hunters play outside of the RvR aspect of the game and are self sufficient in a way that no other class is. They choose their fights (both when to start and usually when to leave), and like it or not, those fights are usually stacked battles vs grinders. NGD's will or not, hunters are assassins; its what they are best at, why would players chose to play in another way? Hunters were not built with fort wars in mind i think, and until we bring them into the fold, they will always be little more than assassins. Not that i will complain of course when they snipe an enemy conju, but making fort wars more attractive to them will have the side effect of having them hunt grinders a bit less perhaps.
Please note that im not talking about all hunters, nor trying to insult them as a class, but they are what NGD gave them the skills to be: skilled assassins with much power in PvP or Pv2 or 3, but little in RvR.
