Whats the best method for kiting them.
Allot of the time I start with scattering to get some distance, out of melee range while their zooming towards me. I try and use crab pin but its very unreliable sometimes works sometimes doesnt...
Then try and slow them with concussive shot, chimera, finally using a trap. The thing is they use blessing of freedom on traps normally and they can kill me in that 10 seconds pretty much. 10 seconds of immunity to kiting every 24 seconds is almost 50%...
Should I stop using serpent sting so I could freezing trap them? If u freezing trap them its going to break from the dot.. But then I reduce my already poor damage from chimera.
Hunters cooldowns seem to fit perfectly for sacred shield, proccing on them every 6 shielding 3k damage so its really hard to do any damage on them.
Is it wierd i find them hard to kite? I kite warriors allot easier, and dks if they dont spam chains of ice.

On a 1vs1 fight you will hardly win over a Paladin, unless he's not a skilled player (and you are).

Spam Tranq shot on every CD. If they don't rebuff, you'll be able to dispel HoF.
Save Deterrance and Disengage for when he uses HoF.
Never stop moving.
Traps are your friend... but don't use them during HoF.
Keep them slowed.

I think i should start using tranq shot more then, wish it removed two buffs like every other one.
They do actually move faster than us. They have 115% movement speed.

Scatter when they freedom, also use wyvern sting for a small cc chain so you can run away form them. Bandage when they bubble, pin+frost trap asap freedom is on CD. For a 1vs1, don't waste your GCDs trying dispelling stuff so you can get freedom. They have so many trash buffs (3x Vengeance, Art of War, etc) that refresh, I don't even dispel rets in 2s...
Disengage when they are too close, don't trinket Repetance, unless he's about to die so you trinket and kill shot... TBH I rarely lose to rets in duels.. If they're geared enough and they LoH, then it might be a prob. But really the key is to manage your frost trap + pet's pin so you don't waste them when he freedom, also Scatter when he freedoms, it's gonna buy you time running away.
Also last time I checked, if it's a ret, his sacred shield will absorb at best one tick of explosive shot, so don't worry about that much.

Ret, imho, is the easiest pally spec for a hunter to deal with. Try prot or holy...
