Brakhtar was of the giantkin/ogre race and believed to be of Gemrach blood, known to be one of the elder races. His body was massive, durable, and brimming with muscle strength, but as a follower of the Aether Path, his aspect was spiritual rather than physical. His greatest advantages lived in perception and mind, not in raw muscle alone.
Because of this, they knew an attack with that level of force would easily knock him out, and he would not be able to dodge it either.
The sword arc was too fast, the pressure too clean. So the only solution for Brakhtar Gorat to counter it was to act first and disrupt Adyr with his Mind Distortion skills, making him unable to use any attack skill.
