    Life is unfair, but Holmgang is especially so.
    Just Holmgang doing its thing, nothing to see here.

    If you check my other posts, you find me saying these exact words: "Holmgang is one ability that is trying to do too many things at the same time!" It's a very cool perk but at the same time can be problematic. I wish we had more control over what we wanted it to do. Like Spooky's suggestion of removing the bind manually.

    It just serves to prove that it was never designed to be a clutch "I don't wanna die!" move. Buuut, you know... 2.0 Warrior and all that

    Doing too many things at once, however, doesn't stop me from feeling fuzzy when I do successfully perform one of the non survival uses.
