Do you feel he bring anything to the table at all?

Hammer of justice is on the same DR as your holy paladins DR, repetance is nice but is easy to dispell. Sure he have buffs and a extra han of protection.

A hunter however brings flare,frost trap,mortal strike etc etc. Its actually quite INSANE how manny tools a hunter have, but luckly very few actually have a clue how to play the class. They might not have the survivabilty as a paladin, but hand of protection + that deflection thing that makes you deflect all spells and meele attacks from the front.

If he is a superb player it doesnt matter realy since theese can reach high rating with nearly any setup and class.
