I was really excited for the Hunter because I always felt Rangers should be a full Dex-based class. I mean, TWF would take a lot more coordination than it would brute strength. Then the Dex-based melee build comes out and its... using 2h weapons?! I think I would have preferred it the other way around, the TWF w/ thrown build as Dex based and the Bow+Executioner Axe build as Str based. Plus there isn't really any support for Hunter build. One Combat style (plus a couple others that let you use Str encounter powers as Dex) and no real usable PP except for the archer ones. Also, I would say that the idea behind the Hunter in combat is opposite to what has already been mentioned. All the Hunter-esque daily powers are ranged, and give a bonus to subsequent melee attacks against the enemy. So it's more like: pop him a few times with arrows then poke him a few times with a knife (erm... well, fullblade I suppose).(Edit) AND (I'm starting to rant now...) The +4 vs OA for ranged attacks seems kinda dumb since they made it incredibly easy for Hunters to NOT make ranged attacks in melee...</blockquote>
