I remember this... I whined too, it made no sense having a half sized dwarf holding a hammer twice his size able to catch a hunter with light armor and a wooden bow...

And... I whined about this too... but I must admit you can do nice stuff with them as they are now. However I must say I loved the previous camu, no better to deselect targets on enemies (you could actually go camu in the middle of a fight since few spells where able to cancel it, and escapist + camu combo worked fine on wars).

I don't have any problem about hunters being uncatchable by knights... I think it's suposed to be like that. But I must add that there aren't many hunters able to run away from a knight with maxed tactics and a barb with maxed warcries, specially because they aren't expecting it and cast escapist at spear range...

Dunno... wouldn't they be even more easier to kill after?! Because after mindsquash or crash or provocking blow + impale or disable limb + barb SC or... they aren't that hard to kill imho. But alas, probably I don't know what I'm talking about, only theory.

Totally agree, I whine about this since my first lvl 10... just.add.a.HOLD STILL.command.at.leats.plz. But I must admit there are hunters who handle them very well.

I don't criticize the game design of the class, I criticize the game design of rewards... get me a full pack of archers in front of samal (reward captures) instead of in the open field (instead of rewarding hunts abusively) and Moloks (yeah... going IC) shall deliver them a quick and painfull death above all evasions pumped.

Thank God, who's supposed to be tanking anyway?... but that's assuming much, remove protector and dome from the frequent rolls not everyone has "bubble boy" maxed or even uses it unless to retreat for heals and mana communions... and Dome, I love it, too bad not every mage has it.
Sry, wrote too much again, but I love magnet replies. Too bad he doesn't use his knowledge to improve his former realm war strategies...
