I voted for Daevos by the way.

Valek.

Valek was good when pinleg was overpowered. If he came back, not sure how well he'd do to be honest.

I can't decide between Amaru or Daevos...they're both really good so I flipped a coin and it came out to be in Amaru's favor

the quarter knows all

Besides, just because Daevos can't beat you doesn't mean he's a worse fighter. After all, you don't need to flinch at his damage, whereas everyone else goes down to him quicker than you do. I'm not sure about that one.

That's mostly a product of my healing, parrying and stancing, so I don't see why that's an unfair advantage. It's a type of skill.

i think Shiri's talking about the halo and numen

Well I don't use numen in 1v1, so count that out. Halo is about equivalent to putre, fullplate, drawdown or something. It isn't that great.

Not sure whether I can edit the poll options or not. ShiriBot probably can. ShiriBot, add Alger and Terenas for Malicia.

I don't think you can.

A luminous spirit descends from the heavens and merges with Amaru, whose eyes suddenly shine with a bright white light.

Had to use numen there. Lich/night/artifacts - I wouldn't usually.

I think most everyone has defeated each other on this list once or twice. Also, some classes have advantages over other classes depending on the circumstances at the time.

*Oh, Kaervas did not run in panic or anything. We did fight for a good bit round and round. He had the extreme advantage, because It is just so hard to figure out where he was because of dustorm (Squint, observe, and glance are useless). I had to run around using my staff as an indicator of which direction to go. If he was shielded, I was messed over. I would get the shield message, but no direction (I need to fix my script to display which direction the blast was fired). Anyhow, it was a good fight except for the lag and short loss of connection I experienced.

BTW, dustorm and rubble are extremely evil now. Free movement over rubble has really boosted the mobility of geomancers in their demesnes.

Best fighter within each guild. Just imo.

....just kidding about Revan btw, Kaervas.

I voted Geb because he's extremely professional and well-mannered, unlike many top-ranking combatants, who seem to be all-ego.

That, and he looks like a good fighter?

Aww, nah Amaru. Terenas hands down. He's on to something with that Merian moon Serenguard route.

Y'all need to go one step further. Charis knows about the Mugwump Moon Serenguard that I thought of. Someone ought to try it.
