Allow me to attempt to make my point more clear:
As far as Leika being a greater threat that Tuyhon, yes I realize. Now, my options for neutralizing Leika:
1) Sing to sleep. Problems: She has 5 levels on me, apparently high charisma, and perhaps even a resist mental item. I've never landed a single song on her (when you don't see me excepted) in around 12 attempts.
2) Run away. Damnit, I wanted to kill Tuyhon and was fairly sure I could.
3) Begin a fight with someone else. I know from experience Leika won't interrupt another fight. That was the idea in sleeping Tuyhon.
Now, the other thing I contest about your post is that I shouldn't say I knew it was over. So, reasons why I knew I would lose:
1) I didn't have stone skin, shield, sanc, aura, or invoker shields up. At least one of those + bard resist is needed to stand a chance against wrath.
2) Inability to have ANY chance at sleeping her. (For the slower ones, you can't sing cold be in the arena)
3) Lack of time to land songs necessary to kill her while eating those wraths.
One strange point I noticed: In the first round, her lower-case devastate shield jab seems to 125 points of damage, which is waaay too much. Am I missing something?
