Like I said, I had a Warrior who had no trouble killing them. If you got all those preps listed you should not fear deathblow at all. Especially if you have a defensive spec/legacy. You say the only reason they win is because of some random deathblow, I say the only reason you lived is ( q return) which is not tactical or elite either. Each has his own perks for every race class combo. I'd trade deathblow for somone sort of instant escape for a rager, oh hell yeah.
