So long, and thanks for all the fish!

But basically it was two, maybe three hits for maims or a little more. Very predictable most of the time.. Maybe a mutilate once in a while, then that sick round kicked in. It was not at all typical of fighting them.

Part of ranking is getting to know the typical behavior of the mobs you are fighting. If I had known they could go from three maims to five MUTILATES in two successive rounds like that I probably wouldnt have tried to rank there.

Also, I wasnt tripped or bashed preceeding the last two rounds yet I didn't get a chance to flee. Just seemed odd but hey, if you like it, so be it.
