For PvE it's a toss up. If you prefer solo play, then take a Hunter. Champs are more in demand for groups.

 

PvMP Hunters are better, at least the way Raids are played at this time. Focus fire a single target at range for the kill, rather than go into melee for AoE damage. This could change with the expansion (I hope it does).

Just depends on what you like. If you like distanced DPS then go for hunter, if you like being in the thick of things, go for the champion. One thing that can be said with definity is that Hunters are better in PvMP, because you can kill things from a distance instead of having to go run after them. I played a hunter up to level 46 or so...its pretty fun overall, easy to level. My main is a champ, also pretty easy to solo with.

Right now my main focus is to stay alive not so much as to how much damage I can deal... & yes I know other classes are better but I will either be champion or hunter end of story... now which stays alive longer int he long run

I'm a Guardian advocate so , yeah Guardian

I would just roll a Warden when it comes out, that is going to be one of the coolest classes to come along since the Dark Avenger in L2

My two main characters are a hunter and a captain...I'd go hunter for more PvMP, like the previous posters have said, it gives you the ranged DPS no other class can match.  The Champion is more in the thick of things melee style.  I also love the intangibles of hunters (the quick travel abilities mostly).

Champs are most welcome in a lot of groups.  Speed things up with all their AOEs.  There's already too many hunters running around so I voted champ :)
