Mhenlo cheating in norn fighting tournament o:

Heck, you can even add [skill]Grenth's Balance[/skill] to it seeing as the others are necro skills. [skill]Grenth's Balance[/skill] is difficult to use on Mhenlo. He has 105 hp, and letting your health drop low enough is risky. Even dropping to 1 hp yourself, you could only do ~52 to him. Like you said though, stripping or interrupting his enchantments blows him up fast. High degen(Burning Arrow/Apply Poison) or lifesteal will also work.

Mhenlo aggros too much and dies. At 105 health with 0 dp... he's even worse than I thought. Hope he only lowers his hp during the Norn Tournament, else I'll never let him in my group ever again.
His build in the Norn Tourney is different than his hench build in any of the campaigns.

So, does anyone know for sure if he is just a cheater with Prot Spirit or if he is using Prot Bond? The only reason I ask is because he doesn't seem to die with Empathy on him and it would, presumably, end PB pretty quick... [wiki]Balthazar's Spirit[/wiki] and a zealous weapon (may not be possible - I can't remember if he uses a wand or not) would basically reduce the energy loss from [wiki]protective bond[/wiki] to 1 (at 13+ prot - wiki says 6..4..3, not the 6..5..4 listed in the skill description here) for [wiki]empathy[/wiki] (since it only triggers on attacks). I don't know if [wiki]Essence Bond[/wiki] would trigger on an empathy hit - is it considered physical or elemental damage? If so, that would take care of the other -1 energy. Of course, that would be -3 energy regen from enchantments and -1 from the zealous weapon, so he would only be able to use signets once he got low, unless he has blessed signet.

I've never seen him cast prot spirit, so I would guess he is using prot bond.
