Sorry I left ages ago
When I left Searoth was the daru guild leader he had just taken over from terant, (still is?) he was good but he wasnt very active in combat then. And to be honest there wasnt any really high skilled daru fighters when I was there, there was about 3 who were decent and had all 3 guild skills, some very good with just tekura though, but then they get trashed due to not having tumble other important skills etc. and the only sentari I can think of who was good was their version of a titan/dragon, he had just got it as well and was just beating everyone with pure damage.

But hey ask searoth about it hes the first to admit that it isnt a great skillset for monks.
