Who are you to say that ROT is a cheap tactic. People like that annoy me. NOTHING is cheap in Carrion fields because EVERYONE is aware of it. It is your job to prepare and not criticize. If the skill and spell lists were not readily available I would agree with you because you could not devise a tactic for a specific spell or skill and would have to be attack with it at least once to know it existed. But they do exist. Look on the left menubar. yeah, right there. Look up the skills and see how you could counter them. I repeat, NOTHING IS CHEAP.
> Rot is a really, really cheap tactic, though, unless you're using other supps to modify it, in which case there's a modicum of strategy/planning involved. Otherwise, fleeing and rotting until it lands with the intention of running away and waiting for their con to drop after you recall is just.. cheap. So I applaud him not using it here. (Although he *does* use it against Arlian, so he's not exactly above it or confident enough in his skills to not do it.)
