> Re: scissorkicking and throwing a warrior: Just because it's two on one doesn't mean you're winning. The lagging commands will prolong the battle, but they won't change the fact that he's dealing a lot more damage than you are. I'll assume you don't have kotegaeshi yet, but against a mace spec (assassins can't use maces), you -really- need to get the weapon out of his hand. Dirt/disarm is cheesy, but it works rather well. One of you should have also given an early caltraps- it hurts his damroll, and lowers his dex so he'll dodge less. (He was mostly parrying here, but a few dodges happened as well.)
