That is true but you would be nuts to put more than one point into Huntsman as a Ranger.
Huntsman gives much more damage output than Ranged...
So long as you understand how high ground works and how you can benefit from it.
10% damage > 5% damage + 1% crit
Even with 200% crit multiplier, it would take at the very least 40 points into Huntsman for that extra 5% damage to be of lower value than 1% crit chance.
