"Roses are trip, violets are bash."
Ah, poetry Sometimes bashing is just the best thing, especially for someone who can get away from you just by fleeing and hiding. Entwining is nice, but that means dropping my weapons for what can be some very critical rounds in a fight. Flurry I do use, but that's also a late-fight thing to try to get the kill, because if I try it and lag myself senseless, well, bad things can result. If I'm already winning, I'd rather use bash, when fighting someone that's reasonably bashable (like you). I've actually got a very big bag of tricks, many of which no one expects me to pull out on them. In our last fight last night, I actually had some new stuff to try, but as it so happened, it was just better to bash you senseless. Believe me, I know very well how there can be many fights when it's a bad idea, I've seen it happen to other people firsthand. There are reasons why I fight the way I do, and use the skills and tactics I do. One reason is that keeping a decent set of whips/flails on hand with all the thieves running rampant these days stealing everything that isn't nailed down, stuff that's in my inventory has a very short life expectancy. However, most of the big reasons I'll keep secret until I die, or at least not discuss them here until then.

I'll also echo what a lot of other people have said - play a bunch of different things, it's more fun that way. I've played mostly evil of late, despite the fact that I usually prefer good. The main reason is, I don't like playing goods when there are so many of them around. You have no one to really fight except the few evils who actually dare poke their heads out. I'd rather be the plucky underdog, even if that means being a bad guy.

Anyway, good luck in the future.
