Choosing the right alt

[Treesh]

On another note, there are the points miraji brought up: the need to feed your pet. While pet interaction is certainly fun, I would hate to learn the profession of cooking, for it brings along other things you have to worry about: getting the right ingredients to level it up, those ingredients taking up slots in your bags etc.
If I would plan on playing a hunter as my main, this wouldn't be a disadvantage, but rather an enrichment, but for mere utility/fun alt, learning cooking is certainly another timesink to be considered in the equation.

I know you've already decided, but I wanted to clear something up. You don't have to get cooking to feed your pet. It can eat stuff that drops from critters or comes out of boxes/crates or you can just buy it. For the fruit and/or mushroom eating pets, I don't even remember offhand a cooking recipe that makes fruits or mushrooms so with those you ahve to find or buy the food. You can completely skip cooking and fishing with a hunter if you so choose and not be horribly hindered by the choice.
