Yeah... I learned that painful lesson last night fighting Gharotuer. I was aware that entwining certain orcs was an issue, I had just never seen it in action. Gharotuer was raiding and pretty hurt at the giant when I entwined him. There were two of us against him and I had 700+ hp. I did it, and died quickly. I think I saw one round of combat? I know I was thinking at the time, with another rager and that many hp left I should be able to weather it long enough to either get one good stab in and put him down or the other guy would do it. Nope. Nada. Not a ####ing chance.

I'm ok with there being a certain class type out there that entwine is useless against, but, why does it have to be orcs?!
