So like many of us here, Ive been looking through the 51 paqe playtest guide. Ive never built a character with Companion up before so Im going to give this one a try. (Hunter)
Ill jot down some points
A) The Animal Focus are interesting. Im not a particular fan of the set 1 minute powers. If I had a pool of time/rounds I could use it over that might be better
B) The Animal focus might be better if it was paired with the animal companion the character selects. Also expand the choices for companions, If I select the Bull animal focus (+2 to str I believe) then it makes no sense for my animal companion choice not be a Bull (and bull is not on the list). Perhaps give the Companion a bit of a boost to the corresponding stat.
C) I have never taken a teamwork feat in my life. Can someone tell me the gist of them? Ill track down the actual text of them later on but please tell me more.

B) I think it's to go in line with the spells Bull's Strength, Aspect of the Eagle, etc etc.
C) Teamwork feats are feats that can do some fun things when someone else in your team has that same feat. Each feat has its own set of requisites, but in Society play it's a bit easier when you can either act as though others have that feat (like Inquisitors) or with your own animal companion (like Hunters).

A) Personally I wish the uses were a bit more flexible as well.
B) I think you miss understand how it works. Each time you use it You AND your Animal Companion gain the benefits you select and each use can be different. I love this.
C) I recommend going to [url]http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/teamwork-feats[/url] for a list of all teamwork feats. Know them well as you can change your most recent selection from the class ability multiple times a day. I have never used the Teamwork Feats before but this looks to be a fun feature of this class.
Essentially most of what this class does could be done with the inquisitor who took the animal domain.
It just has a different spell list (and casting mode) and a few different minor powers. As I really love the inquistor to me this is not nescesarily a bad thing but I'll have to build a slayer to see where the differences lie.
