Hunter is the agile and precise class in Destiny. Hunter is divided into 2 subclasses: Gunslinger and Bladedancer. Gunslinger is the ranged-oriented class with exceptional damage and accuracy. Bladedancer is the melee-focused class that excels in groups and close-quarters combat. While Hunter has less armor than Titan, it has more armor than Warlock.
