A spar between Orcae and Ciaran...

Along the wall of the pit.
The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. The
massive stone wall has several small recesses built into it here to provide a
few choice hiding places for those needing to take a quick breath before once
again joining the fray of combat. Peering southeast, it is possible to see rows
of giant columns rising to the ceiling to support the upper level of the stadium
as well as to hinder the view of the combatants. A huge archdemon looms here,
surrounded by black mist. Master of the Bloodhunt, Ciaran, Dreadlord Apprentice
is here. He wields a warrior's iron greatsword in his left hand.
You see exits leading northeast, east, southeast, south, and southwest.

Not sure why my prompt is not always captured. Anyway, I edited out some spammy stuff to make it shorter. My robes is 55/45 and my shield is 43/36, trans combat and resilience. Basically, my tendon was sliced on first assault, then my throat was slit on second assault, I died a bit after that.

I need some pointers on how to deal with warriors. Thanks!

Putrefaction so that you can apply health instead of sipping. Sparkleberry+puella.

Get rid of the trigger to web sting and wait for them to attack first, so you don't bounce off shield and lose a round. You could use starleaper as well (I'm assuming you have tarot because you hadn't set up any hexes)

Edit: And I just noticed: Why are you using dominate?

Oh right! Completely forgotten about putrefaction!

Man, I told you, or I guess it coulda been Balizar to use putre... USE it it's an awesome skill..

Don't forget you have puer which is amazingly useful as well.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I predict there is almost nothing you can do to remedy this. Why?

From personal experience testing with Diamante, I found that any affliction he could get on a first assault could be given on a swing usually. As a result, our testing went something like this:

Diamante assaults rleg, tendon :: Narsrim applies regeneration/health

Diamante swing lleg, tendon (this is before regeneration from the first went through) :: right tendon heals, Narsrim applies regeneration/health

Diamante swing rleg, tedon :: left tendon heals, Narsrim applies regeneration/health

Diamante swing lleg, tendon :: right tendon heals, Narsrim applies regeneration/health

Diamante swings rleg, amputate :: regeneration goes through and magically heals the amputated right leg, Narsrim applies regeneration/health

Diamante swings lleg, amputate :: regeneration goes through heals amputated right leg, Narsrim applies regeneration/health

==============================================

It was technically impossible to cure what Diamante was able to do as a Pureblade. He could hit again before the damn regeneration cure went through. On top of that, sliced tendon knocks prone and you cannot stand, so stance/parry are totally shut down. Once you have an amputated limb, a mangled limb... that's more than enough time to just swing head 3-4 times in a row for a behead.

Well technically you wont get tendon on every hit but I see what you mean, I've started using allheale if ive got it on balace to cure tendon for the instant standyness

Heh, I do too. I also set icewalls like everywhere so I can tumble through an icewall and the opponent cannot easy follow. It works well.
