I am not a fanatical logger, and truth be told, I had about one instance where a PK with Dural was exciting. After I died the first time (to a group of 4 that I had attacked with an invoker friend after they had tried to kill us), I decided that I was going to shove it all inside and take action.
I wish I had saved Dural's role, because it was getting interesting.
When I reached 48-1, I started the formal list (as opposed to the scratch pad notes).
I was never shy about charging in with guerilla tactics and with a small bit of confusion, I usually had no problem taking down 2 out of a 3 person group.
Of course, I promptly died like three times in a row and then built myself back up.
It made for a nice change from Takashimi who died close to 100 times (that cabal leader con prolonged my life a great deal). One thing that continues to stagger me is that I played Takashimi exclusively for an entire year. That's a hard thing to endure. I probably didn't start using the 'unnamed' for stone skin until I was rank 25 with Dural. Simply because it didn't come naturally to me after Takashimi. After a quickly slapping myself in the face I created a preparation plan that made Dural even tougher. Playing Dural definitely rounded out my abilities, which makes it that much harder to choose what my next character class will be. Ragers are always tempting, but a magic-whore assassin would be tough.
So, sorry if you were offended that I posted a list. But if it makes you feel any better, only 2 or 3 involved me having an ally (other than preparation and surprise).
Most of the time it was me vs a group.
