HISSS!!! You never healed your deep wounds. Use that health to heal those head wounds and, use purell if you must get your normal health up at the same time. Not healing deepwounds is like not curing hexes: it'll bite you hard and fast in no time.

Cure ectoplasm then. Even if throwing off balance will make you writhe off after I recover eq, which is unlikely, it doesn't help me much anyway.

115/102 runed, plus I think it stacks with drawdown so I take about half as much damage from pure cutting.

Guido-

Try shielding or slowing him down more, doing cosmicfire at 700 health is just plain dumb. Shield, web, or run away, anything but stand there and try to kill him with damage.

I need to reforge my field plate then, mine is only 101 cutting with runes, but wichout it it reduce ~40%. Need to test it with runes.

Okay, this guy is 75% of my might and at least 15 levels below me. How the heck does he writhe so quick?

You are OUT of the combat free-for-all!

Something's missing here. Either writhed out message or tipheret message.

He's camo'd. Spiritbond night. Only forestals/runists can remove.

By the way, whispers = stupidity, claw digging = shackles, ball of darkness = paralysis. I didn't think you could writhe while paralyzed.

Eh?

Sure can.

Kashim: That's why writhe msg's missing.

Edit: Ah.

What is this Shiri?
Camo'd? Wtf.
camouflage...duh!

Nothing you can do but get more guild skills, you could of tried quicken + sensitivity + fire or something to that sort.

Oh noes! You've revealed Kashim's secret identity!



EDIT: And plenty of low-might, low-level people can be good. According to Steffan, Selwin's a pretty good combatant, as he (Selwin) manages to beat him (Steffan) regularly.

It depends on the class/race combination. Nihilists rely mostly on later instant kills like wrack. Cosmicifire sucks for damage, and relying on torture isn't fun.Where other buddy has high damage, doesn't need to have trans skills just to kill and things like that.
