Anytime I have been getting owned and it still happens with my current characters (one character of mine is 0-15 against one other character with over a dozen deaths), I love to figure out what I can do differently. Is there some tactic that I can do to kill him? Do I need to avoid him? Do I need to rank in a safer area? Do I need to type where more often and keep potions (teleport and recall) on me to quickly get away.

Almost all of us have gotten owned at times. It is your reaction to it that matters and how you can improve.
