For all his skill, Drizzt is extremely vulnerable. Slice open his stomach, he's dead. Slit his throat, he's dead. Stab an artery, or major organ, he's dead. Slice his hamstrings, he's crippled.
Drizzt's anklets allow him extra speed, it's true, but he has never displayed any feats of speed that would outclass Wolverine. And certainly, he's nowhere near as strong: if they cross blades, Wolverine can easily press Drizzt back.
Drizzt is skilled enough to keep it from becoming a contest of sheer strength, of course. But Wolverine is just as well versed in the Martial Arts (I think Drizzt is something like 90 years old? Hell, that would make Wolverine older then him!)
Yes, Wolverine's going to get cut. So what? Adamantium is NOT adamantite. D&D has never seen a metal like Wolverine's bones. Drizzt couldn't hope to penetrate Wolverine's skeleton: even IF his swords were strong enough (which I'd never believe), Drizzt himself would most definitely lack the strength to push it through (much like Wolverine can never pierce the Hulk's skin.)
Yeah, Drizzt could slice Wolverine's vitals open enough to kill him. But that would take multiple strikes in very hard to reach places. Wolverine can guard his vitals, that's what martial arts training means. And he has the added advantage of not having to worry about his less important body parts altogether.
Of course, there's Guenwhyvar. Again, no big deal. Wolverine eats grizzly bears and indian tigers for breakfast. Both those animals would murder a panther. He would be hard pressed if the duo flanked him. He'd pretty much have to allow one to slice him open in order to focus on the other. Working as a team, their chances against Wolverine improve dramatically, especially if Guenwhyvar did something like let Wolverine strike her to present Drizzt an opening (she can always be resummoned later.)
Drizzt's magic powers are not so useful. Globe of darkness? Wolverine practices blindfolded all the time, and has learned to rely completely on his senses of hearing, touch, and smell. It would afford Drizzt no advantage. (On the other hand, Wolverine's stealth training as a government operative might allow him to take advantage of pitch darkness.)
Faerie Fire? I never understood why seeing your opponent's outline better makes them easier to hit, but Wolverine doesn't have to worry about minor cuts and slices anyway.
Drizzt's best shot is double-teaming Wolverine with his pet panther. Other then that, he's really overmatched. Wolverine 6/10.
Riiiight,.......let's take a look at characteristics right? Now this is how it goes. a 10-12 is considered average human.
Drizzt's strength is 13. His Dexterity, which implies speed and hand-eye coordination is 20. Want feats? How about tossing 10 coins into the air at the same time and catching them all before they hit the ground. Without looking. Oh.....i forgot to mention 18 is considered peak human, and Wolverine despite what you may think, isn't above peak human
Oh....what else? Right.....Drizzt's Intelligence and Wisdom which are both 17.....hmmm.....what would that tell us?
Now.....you have NO way of knowing if Drizzt's weapons would cut through the adamantium or if Wolverine's claws would cut through Drizzt's weapons. In case you forgot, both weapons are heavily enchanted. Not only are they magical in nature, but icingdeath, one of his scimitars also deals enough cold with every touch to kill an average person. His other scimitar, Twinkle is a defending scimitar....know what that means? It means that if his incredible skills weren't enough he's also further protected by his sword.
Wolverine CAN pierce Hulk's skin. It just regenerates so fast you don't even notice he even pierced it. He can't pierce Colossus' organic steel form.
Drizzt can go into a rage.....hey guess what....his formerly 13 strength turns into 17....not so very far from Wolverine's......hey guess what....his constitution which basically means durability and stamina gets to 19. Above peak human.
Feel free to advocate Wolverine's win, but Drizzt's been fighting things like:
Creatures that are the most powerful telepaths in his world....he's fought Matron Mothers, basically powerful clerics (think of Dr. Strange. Now tone him down alot). You know....pacts with demons and such....waging war....you know.....yeah, he's beaten on them.
The guy's slain DRAGONS mon ami.....Not little wussy dragons....DRAGONS. Wolverine may eat grizzly bears and tigers for breakfast, Drizzt eats dragons for breakfast.
