Your Fend skill was buggy. Not only does it lag as well as a Greeting fire giant with max weight on a light-weight low dex target one size smaller, there was no way at all to stop Fend - protective shield, armor of thorns, wraithform, control translucence, shield of <element>.

I posted it to the Bug Board, Daev said 'It's not as good as you think it is'. I think it's reliable at lagging people for 10+ rounds with zero commands in, since Fend itself costs you only one round but seems to lag like trip.

It made it rather difficult to voluntarily fight you afterwards, since my class depends on not being lagged.
