When watching an archer, what part of their body do you watch to give away where they will fire?
Also What is a good strategy for defending against a flail with sword and board?

ALright so for most archers there gonna be putting there bow forward well alot of times you can get around them cause the focus of there eyes is usually on there target. that works for 2 outa of our 5 rangers.. The other ones will nail you in the face if you try to sneak around them. so thats the one flaw to that plan. Next tip is just get a sheild and get at them. Sheilds block arrows so if you have one you can get closer and closer and they cant do anything if you do it well enough remember you hit there bow and it counts as broken so it cant be used again for the round. Alright now flail tips. Alright first off if you angle your sheild you can cover the shoulder more and make it harder to wrap around you. Now for The 3 flail users i know one of them has a short handled flail he made, The other has a short handled edhellen and the third is murdoc the mad who has a long flail. if they have a short handle then when they swing you block that ball and there arm is wide open. Hope there helpful and sorry for the insanly long post when i start typeing about belegarth i cant stop... =p
