I could literally name any other class combo (attacker/trying to get away) that prove you wrong.
Most classes have escape mechanisms. The problem is being able to gauge when you have a shot and when you don't. So most people wait until that oh shit moment to try and get away. They can learn from that and learn how to better gauge potential before taking any damage.

That was part of the reason why I mentioned feral and marks. Marks has no business beating a feral even when outgearing him. So I just threw up my defensive right away and kited him around town guards until he got tired of it and left. If I were on my shaman I could have just threw up my hots, shields, dropped earth ele and kite him with frost shock. Shrug. Maybe my resto shaman wouldn't survive but being one of the easiest classes to train in the game can still be surprisingly solid to run away with. Especially if you know your limitations.

Conversely my hunter, shaman, warrior, monk, dk, etc would be dead meat getting smashed by five all at once. Yeah maybe a druid could displace and sprint to get away and a lot do or a paladin could bubble and hearth. Most are screwed though.
