I read that and I laughed. The warrior must of had a lapse in memory and
forgot to push the attack key. I had two 50 warriors duel my pet. First was
a human yes human warrior. She did however have the obtenrate claymore
(sp? ) and mith arms but other then that normal equip. She lossed 2 bubs my
pet got crushed. The other was a barb warrior with a mith two hander he lost
1 bub. He crushed my pet. I think the warrior was duel wielding yekeshas and
proc is nerfed in duels so they go off a lot less. That was probably why he
lossed besides a shadowknight friend ran some tests. He and a warrior duel
wielding yekeshas were soloing the ghoul lord in upper guk, he drops the
ghoulbane. The warrior would constantly be having the lord on him even
though neither of them were taunting. Anyhow the shadowknight not using
spells took 5 out of 8 kills using a mith two hander. So maybe those yaks
aren't so good after all.
