Why run?

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.

Yes, thank you for proving my point. This was a discussion about what other classes besides hunters can do in a hunt against a hunter. Nothing. They need a hunter. (or a horse or 2x barb as stated, + someone with range to stop him with a freeze/knockdown...)

leme clear this tread out its about pussy ass hunters (mostly) that go mess with ppl and unlike all other classes run away and actualy live to go mess with us, also that leave thier teamates to die carelessly. this all got mistaken for when running is the right thing to do because everyone is screwed but hey you dont have to me easy RP get away from that wich is aceptable and for me highly encouraged because some hunters give their life so i can have a head of time escape and in return i hold the big groups up so they can get away 110%.(this explains why my pt ass is still running into huge groups of ppl... now it makes sence doesnt it?)

This all got mistaken for the occasion when running is the right thing to do, because everyone is screwed, but hey, you don't have to me easy RP(??) get away from that which is acceptable and for me highly encouraged, because some hunters give their life so I can have a head of time escape and in return.
I hold the big groups up so they can get away 110%.
(This explains why my pt ass is still running into huge groups of people... now it makes sense, doesn't it?)

After I corrected it I actually read something completely different. Please, GIGO, please write your posts in a manner that makes them readable.

I don't agree that I'm a pussy. It's a playing style. You can play hunters in a way to annoy the enemy, do some damage and get away. Keep in mind that there are no huge damage spells for hunters and if you aren't a bad player you can kill a pet very fast with some help. With very fast I mean really fast, maybe it can hit you just twice or even just once.
You can also choose to create a setup meant for doing more damage and hinder, but that will cost your life if you don't win.
Barbarians walk almost as fast as hunters, Spring adds more than Mobility and Onslaught is very fast. I agree that Escapist is a very bad spell for the chasers, but hey, isn't Feint a very bad spells for the chased? You should look at it from both sides, not just your own. And I keep saying this, because a lot of people seem to forget it way too often: not all hunters have all spells at level 5.
