"Again, who is the one attacking whom?  You started out fine but then instantly claimed that I am only \"surviving\" by building some weird structures.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tDo I just stand there and let zombies pound on me while I poke them with my knife?  No, I don't (and why would someone do that anyways?).  What do I do?  Let me give you a recent example of what I did.  I had a wandering horde come across me (I believe it was about 8 zombies).  Some were in the front, none of them were ferals so I quickly took stock of my surroundings.  I was in an open area, outside.  There was a large rock behind me.  I engaged the zombies.  First two in front, I power attack both of them once each.  This caused them to stagger and get bleeding effects applied to them.  I backed up, keeping myself aware if any other zombies are out there besides the wandering horde that is coming after me.  I keep an eye on my stamina, only engaging enough to cause bleeding affects via power attack (if they are not already) or simple attacks to cause damage.  The entire time I am backing up.  If they are starting to get too close, I disengage.  Put the rock between me and them, let my stamina recharge.  And then go back into attack mode, power attacks and regular attacks.  The horde numbers thin as I either take them out with my attacks or the DOT finishes them.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tSo how do I survive?  By taking into account the weapon I am using, what I am facing, where I am at, and above all, maintaining situational awareness of everything around me.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tI understand myself fine.  And I think my original statement that you have an issue with is fine on its own, I don't need to add anything to it.\n \n\n\n\tThumbs up from me, you have a lot more patience that I would probably have  😁\n "
