The halls of the arena extend all around you, high enough to be difficult
to climb and to provide a vantage point for spectators to watch from. On
the walls is the blood of past warriors who have won and lost here. Many
markings from the clashing of steel upon them have been buried deep into
their stonework. The floor is bare and basic, designed solely to provide
the most basic needs of combat. The iron gates of the arena are to the
south. Hallways lead off in all the other directions.

Ivendel 0 , 0 , 0 . Ivendel = warrior, Isogai = monk divsky 
1 , 1 , 0 . Sorry I forgot that monks have counter, so obviously that doesn't work.
[reply to kento]No combat skill options to use here. Anyway this log is meant as a response to Divsky's comments about using flee/murder against him in the other log. Thanks for your comments.
But you need to chill out about this. You're comparing an uncaballed, fringe race/class combination, one that's usually picked for RP reasons, against a veteran, high-ranking Warlord in an arena battle. And you think that just standing in one room trading blows you should be able to beat him.
Elf warrior is viable, but it's certainly not going to be as easy as a stone giant warrior. Or a slith. Or a dwarf. But it's possible. We've seen people kick ass with gnome warriors before. Your biggest advantages are the autosneak, which helps with flee/murder (obviously not a help against monks) and the spell-turning racial legacy, which only helps against mages.
And monks just beat warriors. That's just the way it is. Some classes perform better against other classes. That doesn't mean things are imbalanced. That same monk that beats a warrior every time is going to have a really hard time fighting an invoker or a healer.
Anyways, arena battles are not real PK. Real PK happens out in the wild, often times with one party completely unprepared, and often most battles don't even with one person dying. People run or recall away. Usually it takes like 3 or 4 battles before someone messes up and the other person lands the kill.
You want to beat a monk as an elf warrior? It will never, ever happen in the arena. Sorry. It just won't. Fight him out in the open, unannounced if you want to win. And if it looks like you're losing, which your probably will, run your ass off and use your athleticism to outrun him. Then try again. Eventually the RNG gods might smile on you and give you the kill. Use consumables. Try to catch him unprepared. Use unfair advantages. That's just the way the game works.
Nobody is going to nerf monks because your elf warrior can't beat one in an arena fight.
[reply to Rayor]
1) When using a 6/6 enchanted frostbrand sword, I was at 36hit/43dam. You have seen my equipment and mastered skills in the logs, so it should be clear that my equipment is pretty decent for a warrior. Compared to a dwarf/slith/human warrior with the same equipment, these stats are probably what you will get, maybe a little more due to the strength difference. I may be uncaballed but in these duels, Isogai did not use any of the warlord-related skills, so how is this any different from a fight between me and a normal monk? Do also take note that Isogai practically did NOTHING at all (he hasn't even done any of the healing manoeuvres) but to stand there and take blows, and not forgetting that he was using tenacity too which is weaker than sanctuary. What I have provided here is a controlled setup to highlight certain combat elements. So by design, if a warrior with decent equipment cannot even win a straight up brawl against a monk, something is wrong isn't it?
2) Granted, Isogai has got top of the line equipment, which should further illustrate my point here. Take my equipment for example with 36/43 and equip it on a monk. Tweak it a little to get maybe 30/49, then add crane style and BAM! Now you have 55/44, that is 99 points worth of stats. So effectively, by being in crane, all of your 3 attacks will go through while you have 4 defences that can still dodge while hobbled and block arrows using the cranewing technique. This makes sense to you? No wonder Isogai stays in crane when fighting a warrior.
3) Clearly something is wrong with the concentration skill. In the two duels when I was using two-handed against crane, it did not proc a single time at all despite me being in superior stance the whole time. I believe there might be a bug somewhere or maybe monks in yin-empowered styles block concentration?
Moving forward, I haven't even showed you how a warrior in dual wield can lose to a monk in leopard in a straight up brawl but that is another story for another day.
P.S. I don't even want to refute your point on the spell-turning racial legacy.

0 , 0 , 0 . "You're an elf, that makes you good aligned, so I'll let you in on a little hint: Blessed pike. It's ave 28 damage and it's ALWAYS in. I know swords are a favoured weapon on elves, but you would've been doing WAY more damage with a blessed pike than a frostbrand (which is what, ave 21?)."
divsky 
0 , 1 , 0 . Why is piercing damage against a monk the dumbest idea you've heard in a long time? Merlandox 
1 , 0 , 0 . Firstly defensive styles are too good for monks. They do not move into Yang styles at all, almost never. They have Iron body to reduce damage from physical. That is the reason Ivendel would rather use a Frostbrand Sword over another higher average weapon. You compare the damage dealt in both logs, Blessed pike having a 28 avg dam is dealing maims and mutilates on a Two-handed enhanced damage. That is what I call totally SHIT damage. Even a chaos-bound polearm does more damage. The fact that you can ask a warrior to use a piercing weapon against a monk shows that you have no clue about the abilities of monks. That is why i say it is the dumbest idea i've head in a long time.
[reply to Ivendel]Amazing how you get such confidence to say such things divsky. Using a blessed pike that does piercing damage is downright the dumbest idea I have heard in a long time, but I have got to applaud the confidence that you have when you put it that way though.
