I liked Niaz. I thought you were a well role-played evil SOB. I first interacted with you in my early 20's, when you were oathing some groupmate of mine. I liked the emotes, they gave you a cool aire of creepiness.

I agree with alot of your comments. Hunt though isnt too bad, unless summoned or in thorns....actually wait...well yeh, it can be bad. Entwine I think is stupid, especially if the person is holding a whip, entwines you. Then switches to swords, (with whip now in his inventory), and you are still stuck there getting flurried. Id like to see entwine work more like cattle roping. The person entwines you, then basically holds on and can drag your struggling form around a bit. He doesnt continue to whip and lash you with his entwined whip. How the hell can someone eyejab you with the whip, after entwining you in the whip...Man I am rambling...

Prepping is a bloody chore. I tried to help you out in that regard, cause I know its not something everyone likes to do. Hope it helped you have more fun a bit.

Take care.
