Hunter
My first guide will be on the hunter, these are the hardest opponents for us to kill (If they know we are around). I will put things in steps.
Moves to know
Freezing Trap: A ability that freezes an enemy for 15 seconds at rank one. The amount of time it can freeze you will go up to 25 seconds at higher ranks. This ability can be spammed. This ability can only be used if out of combat.
Flare: A ability which detects stealthed rogues within 10 yards of impact of flare. The flare lasts for 30 seconds. This ability can be spammed.
Here is what would usually happen.
Hunter will lay down freezing trap, and fire flares usually onto themselves.
You would go to the hunter to ambush, cheap shot what ever.
You would be unsheathed by flare
Within 5 yards you will be caught by freezing trap
The hunter will run about 30 yards away
The hunter will lay another freezing trap
While you are going to them, they will be pelting you with arrows
You will be frozen by the trap again.
The hunter will run away again and repeat, until you are dead.
Here is how to beat them, and it’s not very easy
Apply crippling poison onto both of your weapons, preferably fast weapons
Hunter will lay down freezing trap, and fire flares usually onto themselves.
Ok the trick here is to beat latency, use your ability sprint
Run directly at hunter at full speed
Once you get to them sap them
You will lose your stealth
You will be caught in the trap
The hunter will be sapped
Sap lasts longer than freezing trap.
Now you are within close combat range and the hunter is sapped
A fast weapon is best for this to get the poison onto the hunter
On your first combo point, spend it on slice and dice, make sure you get that poison on it
Never let the hunter out of your melee range.
The game is in the bag.
If you can’t land the sap, or this tactic sounds too difficult
You literally have no choice but to get caught by the trap
As soon as you are out of the trap fire a long range weapon at the hunter (this puts them into combat or maybe a item ability.
Be sure not to run into trap they might have quickly laid out.
They are in combat, they can’t lay any more traps freezing traps
They will most likely run onto their trap (if they have one)
You must wait between 6-7 yards away from target…I know its not easy
They will most likely fire an instant shot called scatter shot, it deals minimal damage don’t worry, and can only be fired every 30 seconds.
Once the freezing traps time limit is finished you can re enter combat, use the ability sprint and finish them off.
You might be thinking, yea but what about their pet that’s gnawing at my leg, gouge it, kidney shot it, just keep it off u for a bit with the variety of abilities you have.
A very easy solution

Basically rushes a target and stuns them for 30 seconds, you get frozen for 25 seconds.
First of many guides to classes that have a slight advantage over us, any suggestions post plz. Rogues have no huge advantage over anyone, but it also doesn't have a huge disadvantage, hence giving you the ability to kill any opponent.
