I had a bit of a fight with Nodyre last night too, but it was more of a verbal duel.;) heh.

[Psykos]

How was that a good duel, the one guy just got pwned...

If you are who I think you are.. you were a blast last night.

:)

[Chadj]

yup. Solidly pwned.

But when big guys fight, it's always amusing.

That had the potential to be a good duel.. but anything that lasts less than like, 1-2 minutes, isn't really good, because it means someone obviously got pwned rather quickly.

Because, if you look at it Nodyre gave himself spirit strike and had just swept Quildor, if Quildor had been in one second more RT he would have lost, he just barely made it out in time and blasted Nodyre before he could get in hiding, it was a close finish, that's why I said it was a good duel.

[Stunseed]

Now that Nodyre's in Archery, I might be able to handle him. The previous 2 times he's had that incredible crit axe to get me. Well, that and almost 30 trains.

[Drew]

I don't know exactly but he's still got about 15 on you.

[Stunseed]

I dueled him when I had JUST turned Great Lord, he was like 67 or something.

[Ilvane]

I may be who you think I am, PB..Sithral almost killed her!!.:lol:

She just couldn't keep her mouth shut.;)

For all the people bitching, please post me a log of two high level characters dueling, where it lasts longer than 30 seconds.
