> > > Blindness sucks, can't disagree there. However, as a warrior, you go ahead and blind me, and I'll take my two weapons and my bash and while you are wasting time blinding I'll be bashing you so you can't disarm me. > That is what Lachdanan said. > > > Yellow roots and flying potions take care of tripping and bashing. If enlarge isn't enough to get you out of bashing range, maybe reduce will...if not then your point stands. > That is what I said in reply. > > First of all, if you, and AP, are fighting a warrior who's similarly equipped, go right ahead and bash him, and don't be surprised when he kills you, since he's better equipped to fight you than you are he in a straight up slugging match. > Which means all of this means nothing because you're assuming I said both things. > > Which still sucks compared to warriors. > It doesn't suck, you've got it, you can use it. > > By all means, but uhh...I'm not playing one at the moment...it was a hypothetical discussion. > I've done it, don't feel like doing it again. > Have a nice day
> > Second, you explain how you're going to enlarge yourself out of his bashing range right after you explain how you're going to bash him senseless.. Hello? You don't get to have your bashes and make him eat his, too. Either he has a shot at bashing you, or you don't get one on him.
> > Third, bash isn't perfect, even giant on human. You will eventually miss one, or get that single round lag bash where he gets his shot in on you.
> > Lastly, if you're bashing, you aren't casting, or doing anything else useful. Bash just keeps him there, and stops/slows his commands.. you still have to win the fight itself.

> > > Actually they get it at 13th rank, and dual wield at 15th.
> > Let me highlight the primary word here.. Lowbie. You're primarily succeeding against a bunch of guys who have little to no clue what they're doing. There are a million more chinks in your lowbie AP pker armor than I've pointed out here, but I'll save all the best one for using on you, and cocky arrogant jerks like just you, in the game itself.
