The Hunter has many boost in long and short-range fighting: AKA, sniping and melee. Just because s/he isn't doing something like dropping a barrier to protect her/himself and others from bullets doesn't mean that the Hunter isn't a valuable member and supporter. Example: A Warlock is cornered by a tanky Titan, but saved by a sniping Hunter who manages to get a precise kill for bonus damage. In this situation, the Hunter didn't boost stats or heal, but he [i]did[/i] support.
