I'm having a great time with my and a friend's new character, a Hunter, but I'm finding a tactical issue in pvp.
If I get attacked by a rogue I find it very difficult to do anything effective. I've tested the following tactics:
1) Melee back with pet helping. I've lost when I've done this, I'm reasonably satisfied that just about any similarly levelled rogue can rip me to shreds if I try this
2) Wing clip, set pet on him, Aspect of the Monkey and run. I'm not getting away when I do this. I think part of the issue is that I spend 80% of the game in Aspect of the Cheetah so usually I begin the fight dazed. I don't think any of them have used Sprint, they havent even needed to
Now if I could just get some distance I could probably kite but I'm having great trouble getting out of melee range
I can see a gear based solution: potion of swiftness and two talent-based solutions: Improved Wing Clip (20% chance to Immobilise) and Scatter Shot (the description of which implies it can be used point blank). Can other Hunters comment on how they deal with being surprised by a rogue? Is there anyone who can reliably win?
