Yes I agree. Cath suffers this a little bit, but Zik suffers more, even if you nerf it and give it bad d/c

For reference, we have a box where we set the % of steal to die - it's a matter of seconds to change it from 100% to 50% or whatever, so the combat engine isn't the issue. It's just if anyone can come up with reasonable stats where this isn't unfair on most players.
