I was at the midrealm TOC last week and I am gonna put just one guy on my list. He beat me as if I were a child. He is a big four eyed World of Warcraft looking motherfucker, named Micheal. He is with some gang named Ironwolf.

Seriously. He hit me four times before I even knew I was in the fight.

Yup. Thats why I propose using a human for testing. After 300 spear thrusts to our volunteer we should be able to see if we have injured our test subject.
