No different from running away from a charged TS assassin. Running away from your opponent in a melee duel (even if it's to attack his spirit) is pretty BM.

Of course, in open dueling, it's anything goes - but melee duel should determine which char is stronger, not which char can chase down spirits.

Common sense is used to determine how strong you character is too you know.

Are you going to run right up to a sorce standing inside 3 blizzards?
or a sorce spamming meteror on herself?

nope.

and if you do its not going to: "determine which char is stronger" It's going to prove which one of you is an idiot.

i'd like to think there is SOME strategy to melee dueling, not just which char is stronger. gotta calculate the pros and cons of running to kill the other person's spirit.

Why do you bring up Ranged duels as a comparison? Those actually involve positioning and movement. Melee duels, by both the rules here and common practice, involve standing in place and hitting each other. Toe-to-toe combat.

When you run from a TS sin's charge, you're doing it to avoid damage. When you run to kill a HoW, you're doing it to avoid damage.

Again, if you're going to have a GM melee duel, I was always under the impression that you stand toe-to-toe and fight it out. You don't just chase spirits until someone runs out of mana (or mana pots).

Uhh, WW is a ranged attack. If a WW is fighting a melee, that's an Open duel, which I've already covered.

Like I said, killing spirits in a melee duel seems pretty BM.

This is the first i've ever heard of killing spirits being BM since my whole llding career. I have dueled COUNTLESS chars that have spirits, and I always kill them.

Getting your spirit killed is expected, ANY decent druid knows this......clearly IOWA does not.

I seriously do not see any logic behind this argument, it's just plain dumb and the poll already proves that the majority of people agree with me.

WW and charge aren't melee skills:
