Just wonder what is the best tactic to fight prepared mages as a non-battle melee character? When you hit for 'scratches' and 'grazes' while they unleash 'obliterates'? Do you hit-and-run waiting for protections to fall, or just call for help? Because it can be really pointless and frustrating to fight them one on one, escpecially if you don't have access to various preps.
