Seriously. I just fail to see the bard outmeeling pole warrior here. Sure I see the bard raping him with the songs, but do you expect something else in a fight of a bard vs someone with uncovered mental vulnerability? Also, am I the only one who see that bards got their defenses fixed? Just compare that log with Kornuel vs Dorfo or Kornuel vs Fjarn(if you wish example of exactly polespec vs bard). And Fjarn was 51 level with perfected enhanced reactions and leader weapon(not sure if that matter though) while Durjin is 48 and I have real doubts he has perfected reactions or even distance. Still Fjarn couldn't make a single hit over than his special attacks while Durjin almost got Eleia. And it's only his fault that it was just "almost". Why not switch to axes and pincer the shit out of the bard? But he just spamed bash, bash,bash getting his misses again and again.
And as a side note. Refering to Fakefi episode. Yhorian, with all respect to your game knowlage...your comment was the noobest thing I've heard from you. Do you realy expect nacked distorted lvl 42 warrior with about 7 str to outmelee any non mage hero with 40hr/40dr who is under resist/aura/shield? Yet he still did quiete abit of damage.
