Unfortunately this could be said about most characters in this game, there are some exceptions though...

From fulltank perspective:

It is indeed truth, that hunters are easy-to-kill targets if they dont have pd5, purge+ip, but same goes for rangers and scouts. Assassins are harder to kill due to their evade7, but as soon as they are stunned, its easykill aswell.

What the hunter lacks, in comparison to scout is defense, and in comparison to ranger is offense, but IF mobs will get their dmg fixed anytime soon, and that blue pet will start dealing some damage and half enemy defense as it should, hunters will be on par with other archers for sure. So hope for that mob-ws-fix to come soon, because as soon as it goes live on uth, hunters wont be as poor in melee as they are now.

Prob is that they would have to patch in the entire patch that fixed hunters but they cant do that right now. Nor will they do custom changes. We all agree that hunters are NOT up to where they should be. Most will say that Hunters can compete if they are mid to high RR level. Problem is that you have to be able to kill to get RR and if your getting your ass kicked 90% of the time your not getting much rp. Typical fight I have had the last week has been this. 1- i open with crit shot (i have on camo) i hit and get 1 more bow shot in. Assassin class is 1/2 hp. My hunter speed is down so im forced to melee. Assassin kills me in 10 seconds and they are still at 1/3 hp cause spear sucks and i cant break their defense even with 54 in spear(with +) That dont include -str/con, poison ticking for 80-120+ per tick, disease, stun....
People just say stop crying...get over it. Blah blah. My logical thinking is that if people know the class got a boost to help them come to par why not do it?

Group with me some time, Please, and I will show you how to kill assassins (I assume you are Bow spec).
