Talk:Death/@comment-8923133-20130712113400

honestly this shouldn't have to be mentioned but seeing all the complaints about pawns dying i thought i would throw it up in the comment section...

1) D-PAD IS YOUR FRIEND!

you can call your pawns to you or send them away with a simple press,  still having issues?

2) look at the tendencies of the pawns your recruiting

you can basically tell its fighting style from there tendencies, stay away from the tendencies that cause them to rush in, prefering the protect arisen styles, that way when you run from death they run from death. your pawns tendencies can be changed by buying vials for rift crystals at the shopkeep in the encampment

3) "look before you leap"

while i personally feel a lot of the difficult battles can be won with the high ground, this isn't what i mean. Your on a wiki page with tons of information about the death battle, and as mentioned in the comments you could take him down in all of 2 minutes you have the right setup. Use this information to your advantage. If your really hurting that bad, your not making the most of the of whats right in front of you, some of it does boil down to player skill, but generally changing your class to something that is more effective, equiping a holy weapon, and at least bringing along some vim pots (blast arrows as well if you want to start being 'cheap' about it and stun locking him) will make the fight a lot easier.

Sure, i'll admit these tatics aren't  perfect, but one of the great things about this game is that its so malleable, there are ways to take down death in two minutes or you can stand there and grid him out over a few hours, which is the same for any thing in the game. nothing should be beyond your means (given lvl plays a small part of this, but generally its not too bad). your party can be ever changing and fine tuning (find a group you like stick with it, even better if they're lower lvl then you since you can get more exp that way); your skills as a player and your ablities as a character are super diverse (diffrent agument setups and skill setups) you can challange yourself as much as you want to against this game or just play on easy mode and roll everything over, its your choice.
