I killed less than two weeks ago. It is the first replay (Gina), not the 2nd one. It was not a comfortable victory, but a narrow one. The comfortable victory was for the snake after him. That is the one I used the 2nd replay.

For Pursuer I gave the best equipment to Blood (level 99 spirit and 90+ sword) and all my attack talents are maxed out. The defense ones were at around 95 at the time (maxed out now). Maybe it was a fluke, but it did happen.
