enemy players and even NPCs exploit this its breaking the game when you cannot use your ranged weap as a hunter as its your primary weapon totally broke pls fix this its so annoying and not fair even blizzard fixed that
SO therein lies the challenge of being not just vaguely aware and firing on targets your pet taunts. PvP brings out the weaknesses of any player - and hunters by far are no exception - arguably a standard.
The good news is that there are ways to build your hunter in which you can be more effective as a melee person working to get to range..imp wing clip, macro-managing your passive pet/feight death/frozen trap combo - and so forth.
Another thought - and while this might take from the fire and forget mode that hunters are privileged to live by, but you could macro a freezing trap/flare before pulling any mobs - and just keep it up while you work.
The hunter class is arguably the most popular - up there with rogues and warriors - because of the ease of leveling in a time when 60 meant something. But, in a pvp setting - the real hunters are separated from the ineffectual like chaff from wheat.
And let's not even discuss the common factor of hunter traps being resisted...tough game - tough era of WoW. But you CAN master it and rise above the constant wave of players that thought they had the easiest way to 60.
