Nobody Can win?

I was confused on my last day of the beta..
I hadn't got really too far in the game and I was just
entering the academy when I entered it I was put into
combat with another player? It also accured to me we both had healers
I tried all the skill I posessed but yet could not defeat her as she could
not defeat me neither. we tried for almost 30mins but our healers kept healing us. then I came up with a devious plan "Kill the Healer" so me
and my healer attempted to kill her healer yet using all my powers I
Possesed I was only able to almost kill the healer then the healer healed
itself. The battle raged on for a long time then I got Frustrated and went
bed.

Later in the game monks are easily downed with skill.

hmmm...what level were you both.

obviously the henchmen healers were healing more than you guys were dealing out. The only way i could see that happening is if you both were a couple levels below your henchmen, had extremely bad weapons, or were extremely slow using skills.

I've been through the academy about 5 times, and the pace was fast and furious all times with tons of deaths and rezes.

Maybe you were just to low of a level. I normally wait until i'm 5 or 6.
