I've done many abyss runs, and been killed exactly once. I got teleblocked and entangled, and had no where to go. I was in my max mage defense outfit, too. Plus, my mage is 89, so I have some good defense there. He entangled at least 4 times, and never missed. I died one step from safety. There is nothing you can do if they get lucky. It doesn't make you stupid for dying, or make them skilled. Now, idiots with ancients are the ones you don't worry about. TELEBLOCK = THREAT OTHERS = LAUGH As for double or nothing - are you freaking kidding me? Anytime I come back, they always teleport. It never fails.
