Thumper hammer idea sounds cool, big aoes etc. But I think Ranger needs rifle first. Hunter is a cool concept. Could go either way with the F skills. I like the idea of removing the pet and making them special skills like "sniper shot" or something. But you could also have them be Pet focused without the pet. For example, you could have a skill that sends a hunting dog or something after your target, this could be a targeted dumbfire pet that has a duration. So you still "have a pet" but its not following you around etc. Similar to how the horn skill summons a ton of birds to peck the eyes of your target.
