Starting your life as a hunter is actually a big pain in the butt. If you have not mastered the art of kiting and jump shooting yet - and if you just woke up in a dumpster, this might be a little tricky - you will hit the mob once or maybe twice with your gun and then try to melee him down faster than he does you. If the mob is joined by a friend in the process, you will go down faster than a gnomish pilot with supersafe rocket engines.
But if you ignore the pain and bruises and bite your way through, you will finally be rewarded and Mr Miyagi - or whoever your trainer is - will teach you how to handle a pet. With the pet, you will have no problem whatsoever to kill the mob.
And his friend.
And his family.
And burn his house down too!
