I pre-loaded TP with Meditate, but that's the only prep I had. I used Third Eye when I could, didn't spend my 2 hour, and didn't even have a food buff. He missed me with everything he used (one of my two Third Eyes actually expired on its timer). And for the end of the fight, yes, he continually took out and put away his dagger. My gear, while nice, is not exceptional (my profile should list what my SAM wears).
