Are their certain classes, that against certain other classes, played by players of similar skill and in similar eq should never ever lose a 1 on 1 fight?

Yes.


But, I do not believe Nep's "Find ways to deal with them" statement ignores the "gr" command. or the "gt" or "cb" commands. or the "quaff tele" command. Or the "c word" command.


Notice, he did not say "Find ways to defeat them in a 1 on 1 fair fight" he said "Find ways to deal with them"

If I'm playing a fire giant warrior, who has no specs because I turned to the light. Am I going to whine because if I let a lich emperor catch me there is nothing I can do to survive? let alone win? Nope. I'm going to ALWAYS be carrying det inv, and teleport and word potions, and I'm not ever going to go more than 5 seconds without typing "where".

In that situation, I "Win" every time that lich fails to find me and make a phylactery out of me. Just like the time I "Won" every time Cabdru came at my warrior and he didn't get charges by killing me.
