> > 2) Wield a weapon. Even if you didn't have one on you for some reason, you grabbed his wavedancer, and he's vuln_drowning. The shield is cute, but parry and offense will more than make up for the shield. You can play defense all day, but if you want to leave, you'll need to kill him.
when i originally saw the log i considered this but in actual fact he made the right choice pretty much.
He did good damage with his songs and his shield can't be disarmed so it was a consistent defence approach.
(rather than dirt;disarm;cheap shot;cheap shot killing you in moments as you rely purely on dodge) however a noremove weapon would have been excellent in this role.
of course should he have been flying then wielding a weapon could be a good choice to make the target focus on removing the weapon whilst the bard sings his songs.
