Having interacted with both separated from their forum reputation, I can honestly say reading you people even try to make the comparison is hilarious. @Hirst is actually a really awesome dude. Mephaos is exactly how you are lead to believe... For about one sixteenth of the time he interacts. Probably less.
Rave to @Arditi for being a complete bad-ass. I am still learning how my limb counter works, and how to make use of prepping limbs, and he put up with about 3 minutes of me evading to figure out how the hell I learn how many hits I need to prep. So for the sake of narrowing it down, I cut it short!

It's due to the way the code for beckon works. Fitz gets dismounted when beckoned, but hits your block so doesn't move. Since he's an Occultist and can only block via Riding being dismounted means he's no longer blocking, so when beckon acts on you there's no longer anybody else blocking.
I wouldn't consider it "devolving". Tricks and underhanded tactics have always been an integral aspect of the serpent class. The number of serpents who would duel toe to toe has never been a majority ever since I started playing, and that's fine, because it fits the general RP of the class. If you look back to old combat logs of serpents, you'll probably see even more hit-and-running, illusions-that-will-hopefully-break-their-system, and hypnoed touching gems of negation leading to camus spam.
Not every form of violent encounter needs to be a formal, sophisticated duel on equal grounds - even if it's the kind of combat you and I enjoy most. I actually consider it a quality of Achaea that despite the complex combat system, encounters can also be won by semi-combatants by making use of "cheap and simple" strategies (and be they as simple as "get eight friends to smash their bashing macros"). I find this preferable to a game where only people can participate in combat who have devoted a huge amount of time and thought to it. And when it ultimately comes to it, the person who has devoted time and thought into it will still win over the person who is just using "tricks".
The only thing that is a bit of a pity is that so many people simply use the same old tricks that have been used for years now, without trying out any new ones on their own.
Thank you for posting this @Iocun. The first time I saw @Guy duke it out with Shirszae was in-game.
What I know about Guy: He is some Guy. He doesn't have metawake. He shrugs. He likes to backstab and then hit rebounding repeatedly. He likes to snipe delph. If his backstab encounters a shield, he will flay it, run back to Targossas and wait about 15 minutes. Then come back and backstab again.
His persistence will hit pay-dirt eventually. I totally know it will!
