Thorak vs Thion

Backgroud: We had two battles before these two... and I forgot to log them.
I was using defensive stance on both of them, first dualing maces, second with spear
and fled them both... Mostly because I used to much time trying to dirt him when my
dirt kick is very far from being mastered...
These next two battles I was on full offensive, adrenalin rush and dualing maces...
The difference in the outcome was monumental.

Apperently he forgot to dual wield this time... because I gave him a sword
when he defeated me the second time... but it zapped him, and he forgot to
wield another...  :-\

[/log]
I also have the impression that his HP is quite lower then mine...
*proud to be a dwarf*
In the end it was actually 2victories against 2 defeats...
But I am still proud cause i learned something valuable.
OFFENSE KILLS!!!
If Thion has the first two battles... I would like to see them.  ;)

I think theres a log here somewhere of Niredin vs a knight in full defensive but still doing loads of damage half naked and a log of him vs another warrior and necro in full offensive when loaded in nice eq with lots of +to damage as the focus of eq gathering. Niredan was all mace focused so thought you might be interested. Anyway it all depends on who your facing. Eg. The necro goes down in 1 round...

Thanks for the tip... I looked for a log about him but didn't find...  :'(
I was really interested... its hard to see someone totally focused on maces...
Bulghuz who is one of my inspirations *winks* had weapon focus on swords,
but he told me he regretted not taking weapon focus on maces. He
was minotaur of course.... but I love dwarves... and I've been meaning to
make a dwarven heretic for a longlonglonglonglong time... many years...
Only dwarf heretic I can remember is Flir, Warlord of Heretics... and another...
that didn't last long I think... I remember only of this other because I traveled
with him. Well... this was before time of feats I think.
Well... if yar makin' a dwarf fighte' he's gotta wiel'dwarven weapons: Axe or Hamme'!
 ;D

Theres one, poor Hansen :)

Nice battle... poor Hansen indeed.  ;D
He still around by the way?
After these battles... I accept something as total and undeniable truth...
COBAR need to be able to use stances riding!!!  ;D

- I thought he was coming back...this mud isnt so newbie friendly maybe.  Cobar?..*saves his breath*

Just a comment... no, my dwarf ain't tryin to join the clan of human riders *giggle*
Its just that I remember fighting against Malachi... or watching Bolhir fight... and really think stances would make all the difference...

- heh I was just going to say some ideas about cobar...but they have a bigger horsey now and cloak with a longer warranty..all is perfect I guess I dont need to.  ::)  ::)

I dont know class and race of Thion. Seems like Human Knight.
With somewhat like Crusader+Frostbrand in hands... :)

What was the crazy idea to stay unmounted against fighter in offence?

So mounted Knight with Staff of Sun + overhead and some flee for heal and all can be not so bad. Why he not flee by the way? Blind you by staff of sun, flee, full healing, back again.... Or just retreat and some move in random direction?

And try to hit anyone against stand off...

He is fighter. Knights have dirt kick? Odd... I think knights don't have flourentine... some other skill similar to it though.
