bleeding + deep wound is faster than +damage skills.
3 healing is more than enough to mop up the dmg that comes trough.
Anyway, farming them knights just isnt worth your time.

It seemed I was never able to get all 6 to ball up, unless I waited for the 3 to come back (waste of time).

I found I needed [Mental Block], as the rnd() blocking funtion seemed to roll '00' a lot (stuck?). I'm thinking that low dagger mastery with [dwarven stability], and some other line of attack will drop them real fast [mark of pain][splinter weapon]. Not sure how to replace the monk life leech - perhaps shadow mastery skills?

I ran a pretty vanilla toucher build - it worked, but felt kinda slow (40-50sec to kill 3)...

Ahh [critical defenses], shoulda thought of that. I noticed once I had the 75%blocking with fallthrough 50% blocking, that I rarely took damage, and my health was almost never below about 90%. So good idea to drop 1 of those monk life leech spells (and healing to 3)...

What confused me is how these 2 block skills stack? I mean, I'd guess you want [flashing blades] cast first, so that most blocks take reciprocal damage. But how does it work with a stance and an enchant? Is the first one cast the first one applied to incoming attacks?
