> 1) If you go in with the attitude "I am not going to win", and start spamming dent like a retard.... you aren't going to win. "Team Happy Dawnie" had a non-zero chance of making him flee. THD destroyed his undead, and made him burn a lot of phylactery and item charges. Forcing him to flee does matter, especially if Track the Wicked can come into play. This was a fairly Pyrrhic victory for the big Z.
