I don't think it's bad to try to run away from a fight when you're loosing. Of course you should tell your realm mates and not run when you've still got a chance to win. But when you're hunting with two or three people and meet a large party on its way to a fort the best thing you can do in my eyes is run/retreat/flee/atras. Otherwise you just give free RP. And people also don't seem to like it when their realm mates give free RP. And I like the challenge of running away from a large group and surviving. I once ran from pinos after the goats broke the doors and thanks to camouflage, wild spirit, low profile, mobility and some rocks I managed to get away from a large group of Alsius chasing me! I went back to central all the way using pn and pb. That was just fun, for both sides. What is more entertaining for you, chasing a player while thinking where he could have gone and trying to slow him down or kill a player who tries to fight an army of ten people but who can just scratch you because of all the dizzy and ambush spells he's suffering from?

It's not fun to try to catch a hunter.

hahahaha yeah right, I can only imagine what huge fun it must have been for the guy chasing you.

From a hunter point of view, yes it's fun to catch people after a long run. I can assure you that running and scouting is for me one of the best part of being an hunter. In fights I don't have all the candy spell attack you have. So it's often a trick spell or normal hit for me (tricks are fun).

I can tell you from every other class's point of view that it's not fun to run after a hunter. The way the skills are designed, you will only catch him if they don't know how to use them. It's just no fun. They can come, pick the fight and start it, then when they start losing, they can run, safely knowing that if they play it right, they will get away 100% safe. Sure, this can be fun for the hunter. I'm just saying it's not fun for anyone else.

You can catch hunters, but you need to work in team. Otherwise you are fucked. For example two barbs can easily helps a group to do so, with OnSlaught.

Yes, it takes 2 barbs to keep onslaught on all the time in order to catch a hunter. And someone else to actually kill him, because the barbs will have almost no mana after so many onslaughts. A hunter can just use escapist and be out of range any time. It's ultra cheap on mana even on level 5, +40% speed each time the enemy catches up and last 1 minute.

Anyway. If your point is that under some particular scenario, you CAN catch hunters, sure, you can. 2x barbs, or a horse. You see both of these 34224 times per day, I'm sure. Your other option, of course, is to be a hunter, like half of regnum is nowadays. I wonder why.
