Very often it's a case of attacking the mage, he flees and then the other 2 morons in the group keep you in combat preventing you from pulling off your "fatality" and walking away a happy bunny.
*shrug* I feel zero pity for non-mages travelling with mages who then die to the rager.

Experiences? It's outright dislike.
What's an arbiter ever done for me, other than get me killed by inducing complacency?
