First of all, Drakul, I would advise that you not speak on
matters that you know nothing about. If you DID know what
you were talking about, you would know that I turn all of
my 'reflexes' off when I use the lyre. In addition, what
I neglected to mention in the first post, is that the lyre's
equilibrium recovery time is around 4 seconds, which seems
slightly longer than even a shield's equilibrium recovery
time. What this means is, the attacker would have more than
enough of a chance to harm you since the equilibrium recovery
time is so long. You cannot just put one up, let it
disappear by healing, and then put it up again. It takes
time, and a lot of it. It gives your attacker PLENTY of
time to get their attacks in. Now, if the eq recovery time
was reduced to maybe 1 or 2 seconds, it _might_ be feasible
to do what you said, which is letting the lyre's protection
drop, heal, and then putting it back up once again.
