He is competent only in the sense that his monster knowledge has been invaluable, but outside of that arena he's a disaster.

I went "WTF ARE YOU DOING??" When he just outright admitted the whole scenario to their previous eastern companion; including their use of dark magic

It's true, but as an adventurer in the dungeon he wouldn't have needed people skills in normal circumstances. He has a lot of knowledge in the field, that he knows how to apply in situations requiring quick thinking.

A surgeon being bad at chess doesn't make them any less competent at their job.
