Stahna: I didn't post The Rule of Blood, but I will comment on it. That tactic is a good tactic under certain circumstances. If you are considerably stronger than your opponents, then I agree with the RoB. In that case the RoB can be useful, especially during a longer, drawn out battle.

However, if you not considerably stronger than your opponent the RoB is a poor tactical choice. When fighting multiple opponents, keep in mind that you are suffering a multiple opponent penalty. That means that you will be hit more often and land less hits. Under the circumstance of fighting multiple opponents you should be stronger than each individual opponent, otherwise you should flee.

If you are only somewhat stronger, then a much better tactic is to focus your hits on a single enemy, the weakest enemy. This will allow you to more quickly dispatch one of the enemies thereby reducing the magnitude of the multiple opponent penalty on you.

Choosing whether or not to utilize the RoB tactic is a skill unto itself. The wisdom to do so will come with experience.

If you are much stronger than your opponents, then an extension of the RoB may be useful for dispatching your enemies more quickly. In this case you would take turns landing a hit one each opponent, continually changing your attack to the opponent with the most health. This tactic is for stronger, more advanced players and would be dangerous for weaker players to attempt.
