Also, I notice you're using Nexus. Don't! That'll take you a long way.
Hmm...never thought my MUD client would be the problem here. Here's the thing though - I mainly use Nexus for convenience's sake since it's the one that pops up when I click that big shiny "Play Lusternia" button on the main website. That and I don't really know how to use MUD clients other than Nexus...yeah, I'm a MUD client n00b.
So, on that note, if you have another MUD client to recommend, then I'd like one that would meet these criteria:
- Easy to use
- Can flash in big bold letters or something whenever I'm knocked down so I know when to STAND (all that text flying by makes it hard to see in Nexus)
- And is FREE. (This is the most important bit. I have no monies.)
I'm probably going to hazard a guess that there is no MUD client that meets all three of these criteria, but I don't know...maybe you can pleasantly surprise me!

Zarquan's free system is for MUSH client, which is free and extremely quick. I use it for hamster hunts or just to read the morning paper when everyone else is logged in. : /
However, MUSH is not so user-friendly for non-coders unfamiliar with lua, or at least someone of my ability (or lack thereof).
ZMUD or CMUD have the nicest, most newbie-friendly setups and helpfiles I have seen but they cost $25-35. They are also rumored to lag in the large raids Lusternia is notorious for.
You can download a 30-day free trial of the latest ZMUD client here. For all it's shortcomings (having no updated, pre-made system on these forums to my knowledge) it is still generally very useful and usable. If you like it and want to run with it, I will give you my old license.

Get MUSHClient, an old copy of zMUD, or buy a new copy of that or cMUD. It's actually cheaper than a PS3 or XBox game.
The LARGEST PORTION of combat is writing a system to defend yourself. You cannot and will not survive competitively on Nexus, in my opinion.
As for your actual performance, you need to work on scaling your usage of momentum. When you have four momentum just sitting there doing nothing with it, you should be really making an attempt to segue in to using something - put a Boost in to a combo that drops some momentum for a huge bit of offense. If I recall right, Tahtetso and Ninjakari have the very obnoxious afflictions from momentum and a lot of their stuff is incredibly cheap ka-wise. Use that to your advantage.
Work on hindering offense while dealing damage, too - a broken jaw and nose aren't going to do any good in stopping somebody like Kirad from attacking you. The best defense is a good offense in a lot of cases - preventing somebody from hitting you is a great way to start your way to victory, really.
