Wouldn't using all classes equally be better for a new player as they are exposed to them all on relatively equal timescales and are thus able to learn their gameplay quicker? Think how much more time it would take to MASTER the longsword, then MASTER the Lance and MASTER the Hammer, and so on, starting from noob status every time. Someone like you, whose time is clearly quite valuable, might be interested in optimizing your learning curve by playing around with all the classes so as to gain suitable (not necessarily MASTER-tier) experience with each to keep your gameplay fresh and new without having to remain affixed to just one class.

I'd say wait until you ARE a veteran hunter before you go try and MASTER anything, not the other way around.
