To be honest Striking never really did that much against you. I think looking at all the scraps we had I got very few observes in (you would usually have me blinded). What would make the difference in alot of our rematches would be that first in I wouldn't have prepped at all and you got the jump, second time I would prep some.You can just take a look at some of my logs to see how slowly striking would charge up for me. It would often depend who who's maledictions landed first. Usually it was Shifters who got the worst of it, combining my maledictions, which would lengthen the fight, and then Striking kickin in.
I have to say often Assassins were Pesky's toughest fighter matchups, when your kans and kote landed I was usually in trouble. I would specifically carry super light daggers just to deal with you. Several edges I took simply to fight Ktaar, who constantly Pwn'd me.

That try in Ysigrath was just dumb luck on my part. I did a who and saw you in PK (probably when you were eating and drinking) and thought #### I better not sit here any longer he's bound to find me here. I walk out and BLAM! You go for the assassinate.

Again Kudos on Zridv, I wish I had logged more of our skirmishes, many of the fights where one or other of us ran for our lives were just great.
