You can also 'melee' him back. With practice this can be very useful. I'm leveling a 5 rogue team right now so am getting a bit better with melee. I'm currently using the regular method that follows a 'main' if it is alive but am going to change this soon to the leaderless setup which will make it even better. That way if someone saps or traps the 'current main' I can just switch to another on the fly. I have had several shaman teams (currently have one on Mag at level 60) and use melee pretty much all the time. Kind of wish I would have leveled taurn shamans instead of trolls for the round robin war stomp, though. That would be a perfect weapon against a rogue. Thinking about it now I may try and roll a team of those before my RAF runs out!
