With all that said, if anyone wants to do it to that person I used Cover, Clemency, Tetsudo and/or gave some extra room to with a Glory Slash - all in a desperate attempt to protect them from a hopeless 2v6+ scenario - while they just hung around and kept DPS'ing instead of retreating.... I probably won't complain even after you correct my stubborn naivety for clinging to the hope that maybe they'll still run away in the dying seconds by killing me too.

(Sorry, I wanted somewhere to rant about that particular situation because it happens stupidly often!)
