Everyone is on drugs... probably you also Kinetic vs energy: Kinetic in pvp is fine but take the same loadout and pop in a strike... Some of the rifle classes have trouble maintaining that damage needed on the enemy.... so energy rifle classes become more valuable in a PvE setting due to elemental damage. Hunters (archetype) are swift and agile... They are made to scout and hang back... They HUNT so yes... In actuality a Hunter should be made for pulse and scout rifles as their original purpose in a RPG/ MMO setting was to bring the damage from a distance.... Can they do awesome stuff close? Yes but hunters are ranged archetypes.
