WoW hunters

For a second I thought you were taking a swipe at WoW hunters, and I was going to have to set you straight.

If by "job," you mean a generic class and not a specific character, and that there's some level of choosing taking place, one of my least favorite is Witch from Ogre Battle. Witches deal zero damage in combat, in a game where the party that deals more damage (not necessarily who survives) is declared the victor. This might be okay considering the point of the witch is to stun the enemies so they don't do damage, but her attack basically never lands. It IS group-wide, so even if it misses four enemies and stuns the fifth, you theoretically get some value, but not as much as if you just attacked one more time typically.

Oh, and enemy witches always inevitably stun your entire squad. Makes me wonder if they're more like magikarp, where if you suffer through carrying them for a while, they get better eventually...but I've never bothered to find out.
