Wild hunter looks cool but low hp?

I've decided that I am either going to make a wild hunter or a dark knight after big bang. I have looked through many videos and carefully examined the skill tables of each class. I have come up with: Wild Hunter and DrK both look like they can both deal great amounts of damage after BB, bossing and training-wise. Right now, it seems like playing a wild hunter would be more fun for me, because I have always wanted a bowman and WH skills look awesome without even mentioning the jaguar, plus I want to experience the new storyline. Another small plus is that wild hunters have a slightly bigger DPM than DrKs as well. To top it all off, DrKs seem to get barely any new skills at fourth job, except for a four-hit crusher and those beholder thingies, which dont appeal to me. Plus, I think % dex equips are cheaper than % str. Now, after giving you all of this information, you may think that obviously I want to play wild hunter. The thing is, wild hunters have low hp. Will I be able to train and boss efficiently as a wild hunter, without HP washing? I'm not sure if i'll be able to acquire decent HB, and wild beast is a bad solution because it has a cooldown twice as long as it lasts. Keep in mind, I really like DrKs, if I made it seem like I just didn't like them at all in the first paragraph. I just like wild hunters alot more. I was really looking forward to create my first character of real bossing caliber after big bang, so would wild hunter still fit that description?

I say go with WH. But honestly, if you want to try something that is strong and has reach after BB you should make a corsair. They're so much fun and really strong. Oh, and you can wreck bosses with the battleship cannon.

Youll be able to boss with a wh.. its ranged.. which is why it has low hp. Look at sairs/bm/mm they all have low hp. If you go on boss runs youre gonna get hb anyways. I wouldnt worry about the low hp, you just wont be able to tank big bosses unless youre a high lvl and have hb. So i would say you wouldnt be able to boss efficiently till lvl 130+.

Well, if you want to join the bandwagon, go with a WH. There will just be so many of them like you saw with all of the other new classes. Maybe wait like 3 months after WH's come out b4 u make 1? Therefore, I'd go with a Drk

Wild Hunter has more hp that any other bowman because of the jaguar's passive hp boost
