Hunter's simply have mistake capitalising CC going into pure Burst than anything else in this bracket. If they catch anything and get 2-3+ auto attacks, they make whatever they 1v1 pop their CDs first, meaning they'll always be +1 CD on their opponent.
Mages are the only thing that can:
-Abuse LoS effectively, putting up enough burst vs Hunter duck>out>burst>duck
-Quickly get around whatever the opponent is LoSing, Blink
-Above two and still have snares
Can simply apply enough pressure to maybe be enough. It'd get to a point where the Hunter would have to be overextending to get to the Mage, then the mage can Snare+Arc Blast+Fire Blast, and maybe Arcane Missiles depending on the Hunters actions/proc, then it comes down to RNG/skill, the Mage can get caught overextending and pewpewed down wasting CDs to survive; or instead the mage can just be going for quick bursts, then while the Hunter's still snared/slowed run far to another pillar/LoS option. This'll probably end in a bandage Reset with the Mage possibly having +1 CD on the Hunter.
Rinse repeat if possible.
Can go either way; if I'm uneducated in Hunter play I apologise, just don't want to get into too much situational theory. Mages can force things to facecheck LoS, basically.
