Poll: So which Borderland's class should I choose?

[Altorin]

The soldier is probably the easiest to play. Lilith relies a lot on elemental damage and it's all a bit involved. Malakai is a sniper, which is great and all but takes a bit of getting used to in the context of Borderlands. Rocket launchers are rubbish so Brick isn't very good except in multiplayer where his job is to die again and again and again.

The most fun Hunter build i found barely uses the sniper rifle except as a side arm to his most ultimate weapon - his freaking bird. Seriously, play a Full Bird Build and tell me that isn't hilarious. The Sniper Rifle is used as a glorified pistol to make sure the birds' cooldown is always down.

I played through Borderlands with my friend and I played the Hunter, and I had some fun with the snipering, but once I was appropriately levelled for the hilarity to ensue (the really amazing Bird Talent is the very bottom one that allows the bird to attack 6-7 times per throw), and I switched to a bird build just to see what it's like, I saw the game in a completely different light. My Friend sort of went to the wayside in my eyes and the game became about me and my birdy friend slaughtering assholes.

Seriously, if you have a hunter that's level 30-40, go try it. It's amazing.
