I have not used this tactic much, so I do not know. Going 10-10 is a pet
peeve of mine, but I will bring this up in another message.

I have used this with slashers in desperation, I am nut sure how good
it works thought.

I do run many bashers but when I do I will use `B`ash tactic alot, I think
of it as a less powerful `D`ecis tactic with added attack bonuses.

I use `S`lash alot with my slahers, it help me do more damage with those
scimitar crits. Alot of people talk about how it will slow you down, I have
not notice much of a difference. As I said it has help me make more
crits and do more damage.
