**********************************************************
You step out of your defensive fighting stance.

Of course it was one sided, when all you did was web and shackled me.

edit: Since when did crushes miss anyway?

HANGEDMAN and shackle, Shiro.

take out shackles!!

Yeah, let's gimp Wrack further!

WOO! GO NIHILIST DOWNGRADES!

yeah!!

Since it was changed to ignore shields.

I thought it was the aeon that got you. I saw some jesters hit, which I bet took out quickening, then an Egnimaed Aeon slowed you down. After that came the pain.

As for the crush, I heard that Stancing deals with it. I wonder if Parrying does as well.

Nah, I know I can't beat any good guardian because of my large size and small mana. I apologized to Kymir because I thought he was a medicore fighter when he reminds me of torak without the grim horror. It may be the aeon, but the hangman and the shackles were so annoying and kept me from hiting.


crushing attack that bypasses defenses such as stances and
rebounding

Its just the natural miss that knights have, its annoying when you miss 2 assualts in a row leaving you with 8 power less then you started with no damage done to your oppenent.
