Shortly there after A-G was able to decide on his major.
Mindflayers
Elshan was not always raping faces. He spent a good amount of time prepping heavily to do that raping, and also spent alot of time in game deciding what EQ to gather so he could emphasize those flails. I beat Elshan when he was dualing those flails as a mino zerk. I had a nice compliment of gear mind you, but zerk vs war has always been an argument for getting pwned.
The Staff looked into those flails very deeply.
The fact they are still there tells you our opinion.
When Elshan had those and a certain Rod it became very ridiculous. I remember specifically winning a fight with him then he switched to those and I had to recall within two rounds. Haste + unblockable damage = no time to disarm and sac.
Elshan was avatar.....
And. I fought him on two pinns. Rod + mindflayers will make you flee even if you are a neutral dwarven warrior.
Grawrer took him down when he had those two flails, but yah, he did hit something major furious with them. I don't get why the damage is "unblockable" though. What does that mean?
It means that you are ****ed up. Especially if you are a giant 
Telekinesis hits your mind, how the **** do you parry a mental stabbing?
I thought it was mental damage type, you really cannot parry/dodge/shield block that weapon?
Telekinesis hits your mind' date=' how the **** do you parry a mental stabbing?[/quote']
With that line of reasoning, how do you wield it in each hand?
Lightsabre? Monorod?
Consider yourself force choked.

Telekinesis is moving a physical object or directing a physical force with your mind. Telepathy (direct mind-mind communication) could be used to strike directly at the mind, but telekinesis could not (well, at least not in most fictional portrayals of it).
However, telekinesis still applies with the Mindflayer flail if you picture it as the weapon imbuing the wielder with telekinesis of the physical force variety... imagine a Jedi using the Force to push somebody, but in this case it's more punch-like. Still wouldn't be possible to block, because it could always be applied directly on target.
And that's my super-nerd post of the day.
So that flail cannot be parried or blocked? Guess that leaves dodge?
Guess that leaves dodge?
THINK FAST!
Arvelo had a hard time against Elshan. Though I always thought saders were supposed to have it easy against melees. But I don't think I ever beat him.
I beat him with my caster. He had nice output, but again I thought though it seemed cheap, it really was more balanced than I was originally making it out to be. The damage output was nice, but not intolerable. The character itself was very well played, in pk. I didn't manage to get alot of rp, but to make avatar (I think) the rp must have been top notch too. 
If the IMM staff really looked at them and OK'd them. I am fine with that. With the right gear combination they are pretty ferocious, but the same can be said for lots of things.
Unblockable damage should never exist as a weapon. I'm with Mya.
