First off death by healing delay is a very old problem lets say. I've seen it happen in 2 ways. Firstly when there was a delay between applying bandies and when they actually took effect, a monster that kills you during that delay often made your grave say as your's does. Secondly, when real low on HP, and you apply bandies, sometimes you mysteriously die to the heal delay, pretty wierd.

As for tactics, I'd say it depends on your str. As you said with the reactive and protect fishes you can stand toe to toe more effectively. But with anything less than 120 str I'd keep well away and archer him. As these deamons can mellee a tonne. Also since they now cast reactive and other such spells your close combat skills will hardly do anything to him. As seen with warrior/mage pvp, the only real effective way to beat RA, is to use a bow from a distance. So I'd say shoot your arrows, run a little, stop, shoot, run etc.

I hear you man. I'm just saying dont dare try get close to him with anything less than that str as he'll probably kill you in 2 hits.

BB said he's going to be playing with the AI and make them a little less smart, which should hopefully make them easier to fight 1 vs 1.

2 hit will probbly kill some1 with 120 str

I have less then 120 str and i could melee him for quiet sometime, without dieing but I had almost new verite, prot (around 125 in ar) and ra
so it's not like u die after 2 strikes. They can inflict loads of damage but if u use blood, bandies and heal pots it's ok.

I know that if I had brought a friends with archery we would have killed him easy
