I use counterattack to lose. The 'suggested' approach would be t a high activity and trigger on 'enemy attacks more', perhaps maximizing your attacks. I put on some slower weapons and give this a try, and am approaching 50% (which is really bringing down my numbers). Parry styles are a death sentence vs ragers and if you are waiting to be to set your gladiator tohit by a rager, you have already lost.

I get the idea of DOT but with most fights over in 20 seconds... I'm just having no luck with Theatrical.
