#56294, "Dirty fighting vs Masochism for running away"


          

I know this has been discussed before, but..

Unless I'm missing something masochism seems to be the superior of these two skills for a desperate escape. It doesn't matter how well the skrugga flees if he's permalagged.

The helpfile for dirty fighting says that a skrugga is particularly known for landing an extra strike that helps them escape - is this like a reverse parting blow?

Possible to add a feature to improved flee/masochism that makes it so an orc with less than say 35% health can clear lag and execute a wimpy when they are hit? That way skrugga may be able to compete with shigru at what they are thematically good at - running away.

When I played Skrugga I vaguely recall jabbing someone's eyes when fleeing, meaning they couldn't reengage. Plus you flee two rooms. Also cower is a decent defense against someone that's trying to lag you out.
