Or just make it not complete garbage.
It's not that good. Yes it fits the "lone wolf" attitude Hunters are supposed to have, but it's horrible for team play. The dodge ability should just be a "hidden" ability given to all Hunter subclasses, while replacing the global class ability.
(I'm not taking credit for this idea, but I saw it on Reddit and definitely agreed with it)
The class ability should be the "Vanish in Smoke" bomb from the Nightstalker.
It would:
A) Make all players in the radius go invisible while reloading their guns
Or
B) Invisibility lasts longer and won't break when shooting a weapon.
This would still fit the lore and attitude of the Hunter while providing the Hunters with a team based ability.
Please Bungie, Please.
Edit: A lot of people have responded saying, "No. Keep dodge but just make it more powerful.". I'm certainly not opposed to that. I just wanted to make a suggestion that better fit team-play and hunters roles as a "DPS" class.

I'd give it to them as an ability they can all use, but put it on an internal cooldown (likely shown as a debuff like Icarus Dodge). Class power would be something like "Agility" that is "Hold crouch to gain XYZ." If you want them to be helpful to the team, just say... Assassin's Agility - Animation would throw a smoke bomb at their feet and turn them and nearby allies invisible for a short time. Possibly also paired up with bonus melee damage, but that might be a bit much. Ranger's Agility - Animation would be them pointing forward to direct fire or something. Grants them and nearby allies bonus precision damage for a short time. During this time, their dodge can be used without incurring the debuff, allowing them to use it at will. Something like that. Supports them and keeps them as the more lone wolf class, but also helps them act as scout and infiltration team experts. Kinda just talking off the top of my head, though, so I dunno.
