Let's face it, our HUnter companions suck?

[Gotien]

All classes are equal, however most people try to fit into one role and then the usefulness of the class is limited to some very small amout of skill.

So to all who think that one class is better or that one class sucks, stop weakening yourselfs and open your mind, if you forced yourself to use any class in the toughest of circumstances then you would see both the strengths and uses of a class, no one class is doomed to be a "defender" or "support".
