Granted, paladins have the ability to heal and, given proper preparation, can run all over God's creation with a very low likelihood of running out of moves. However, they do not have access to significant lag protection...
Am I the only one who immediately thought MOUNTED COMBAT?!?! Can't be tripped, can't be air thrashed to be tripped from it, some bash resistance...and if you bash, odds are they will heal all, most, or more than the actual bash damage.
I think that is an exaggeration.
I have seen warriors pack clerics to their pit in 4 round, but not 2.
Clerics have a min of 650 HP's you need to eat through.
I HIGHLY doubt this. HIGHLY Even a naked drow cleric' date=' your not tossing out 350 damage a round through sanc.[/quote']I just checked and I don't have any logs. It was Threkan vs Mephizex(when she was decked).
I would attack, whip lock, in a total of 2 rounds she was at awful wounds and very few hps left. She would recall because if she tried to flee, she would die.
EDIT: I agree Threkan is a bit of a special case, though I do not see why other warriors couldn't do the same under the circumstances.
Well right there your NOT two rounding anyone. you need AT LEAST one round to weaponlock. So that is three. And also, to say you two rounded someone means you got the kill, which by your own admission, and Mephizex's, you did not.

Get off the grass buddy. Never did I get two rounded by Threkkan, five to six rounds yea. mephizex had a total of about 900 hp. THERES no ways you can eat throug that in two rounds.
Far as I remember. Score was 2 - 0 to me

Let me find the log of Grom vs Dyendas (Festy's old paladin). If you check my record, both of those fights were almost total, unenlarged bashlocks. Mounted Combat has its benefits - but the protection from bash/bodyslam/qskill(s) is often overestimated.
And I don't count trip as a reliable form of laglock, seeing as how anyone with half a brain will never be triplocked (EXCEPT by a monk, which is a different story altogether)...
Re Mindflayer: Necromancers are on the chart, and have two nice big asterisks next to the name...
I'm only concerned with the viability rating you bestowed to the necromancer. I don't feel it's high enough.

My experience does not match yours, my friend. Ilendriel dueled warriors and zerks all the time - none of those times was I ever laglocked into the ground, and very rarely was I laglocked more than just 2-3 bashes in a row even.

Clearly you forgot fighting Threkan at his peak then. It was literally 2 rounds. If you didn't get the recall in you would have died from the next single attack. I don't remember you fighting me much at that time.
It's not so much that it's a problem... it's not. He's a good reference and an excellent example of your skill. I just always picture what's in that post.
"Ilendriel!", into some bushes.
I've already got a word I yell then run away with...
"POKE!"
Too true.
