Boar is more for 1 on 1 fights really. That's where it excels. Get out of that and you lose out on it's counter/gaurd and well it's dmg move isn't the greatest for dmg. Though the def down is really nice. Snort... yeah really should be 2 charges. But a bunch of haste and rediculous counter/gaurd rate with some mdb is still not bad.

As far as AI i think that was actually brought up a long time ago and SE rep basically said they are monsters they do what they want lol
