What was he thinking of...

So I was questing in Felwood, killing mobs when a wolf run up to me and start biting. I turn around and see an Elven Hunter there shooting me. I finish the mob quickly and turn on the Hunter. Like all of them that I have seen lately, they always turn tail and run, hoping that their pet will finish the mark. I dot him quickly and run after him. I manage to finish him off with a nice Drain Life. I soon discover that he was only a level 52... I bet he was hoping to kill me while I have a mob on me. Frankly, the mobs I was beating on were the same level as him, my Sucubus can kill one alone. I never saw him again. :)
