Is Hunter Worth It?

Niche Crit Perk

While 75% additional critical damage is significant, Hunter only applies to the weakest enemy type in the game, animals. This increase in critical damage does not include abominations such as Deathclaws, so the perk is further limited.

Not only is this perk limited to critical builds, but it provides only a benefit to rare and easily manageable encounters to the point that it is significant.
