"you are being hunted" was the wolf event right?
Wolfs are realy odd and kinda in the same as the mosquitoes (by doing way to much alpha damage) and unlike mosquitoes dont change there attackpedern... they just hammer ther attacks with lightning speed.
But here is the way to fight them: get into a corner and use the twohanded AOE ironhammer and keep hammering right bevor they get close.
