By the time you killed the retinue, you're weakened and he chain kills me, if I focus on it it still kills me WITH its band of followers.
depending on the situation...i usually try to block him / slow him down while i handle the other guys this works with ram very well. In case of wolf vs wolf i would have 2 tactics: you either go PoB as well or grave guardian (which has a better defense) that is supported by a lonewolf healer and few crossbowmen or you plan a kiting tactic to slow him down with lonewolf/hassment crossbowmen...the rune guardian can also be very good with ylia's wrath on a grave guardian or crossbowmen for extra damage (you probably damage him for 20 in total with an offensive from a crossbowmen and from there on it is an easy prey)
edit: im not sure as i didn't try it but mask of gandhar from the rune priest can be quite important in the match up as the PoB has only WIL 8...and a fear of 16-15 can be quite hard to resist...also...taunt him with your grave/pob -3acc and -3dam can be relevant if he can't attack your unit. Sneak attack from the wolven hunter is also perfect to weaken him
