That's largely because they are underplayed. Most people play them like a Giant Bashspec with 50+ speckled pills, but they are that and more with their unique skillset.
As for the success rate? 17/25 = 68% :

For the kill-sealing aspect, though, you'll probably want to go savage for savage blow, which means you wont be wasting your time brandishing/reciting.
Since you dont want to go mountaineer, your next best option is plains (lose snare!!!) or forester (cant be an arial).
You're looking at this general b
