Maybe I wasn’t the best hunter (i had one on lights hope), but in duels, frost mages were very hard to beat because they started so close to your dead zone. It was almost impossible to keep them out of your deadzone because they can block out of a freeze trap and then cold snap block out of a scatter shot. Those are both of your gap creators instantly countered. Then they would Keep you perma slowed with rank 1 frostbolt and lock you in place with novas. GG. Now, i could definitely destroy mages if i started with enough distance and i could succesfully scattershot immediately after they blinked. At that point, you concussive, viper sting, kite around with cheetah. Hunters need space to thrive.
