I don't know many people that PvP on these boards. You may have better luck on the official boards.
Off the top of top of my head, I can think of a few things you can do differently.
1. This is a very hard skill to master, but once you have, it is beautiful. Run at the target and jump over their head. While in the air, do a 180 so that when you land, you are facing your opponents back. Have a backstab attack at the ready. If you can master that, PvP will go a lot easier.
2. Never stop moving. Try to get to the side of your opponent so you can try to get some backstabs in there as well.
3. Learn the intricacies of your skills. Always, always, always use your interrupts and knock-downs. These are critical to surviving in PvP. They can stop casters from opening up a can of whoop *** on you and they can knock others down to give you a few chances at a backstab.
4. Use a bow. Have a good bow in hand so you can hit your opponent while you are out of their range.
5. Use your stealth skills. It is hard to hit an opponent that you can't see.
6. Keep your weapons and, most importantly, your skills upgraded as high as your wallet can handle. This scout probably had her skills at least to Apprentice IV, if not Adept I or better. The upgrades allow your skills to perform at much higher efficiency than their original counterpart. And unlike the Apprentice I version, the higher skills have a greater success rate of landing on a yellow con or higher individual.
That's about all I have. Again, the official boards would probably hold more info.
