Since 'a swarm' is singular, the verb in that case would be 'swirls,' I'm pretty sure.

sad.gif Where do these elusive buffs come from? Tattoos and constructs are the only things I can think of at them moment.

There are a few other things, like war blessings.

That comes from a tattoo.

I think one could make a pretty solid argument that 'swarm' in this case is being used as a collective noun, in which case, plural is correct. It's ambiguous enough that I'd grade either one as correct on an English paper. Personally I'd write the sentence to avoid the question entirely, but I was trying to work with what was given.

I've found it interesting to read the stats of others, to compare things and also spot problems. So here's another. Faeling bard brewmeister with a TF, attune, kirigami. No malts up at this point, but I've attuned and used everything else. Apart from being capable in resilience I'm reasonably high in everything else of relevance.

ETA: This is of course subject to the point that elasticity appears to be copiously bugged.

What's with the 50 base cutting?

Edit: For the curious: Moondancer with drawdown, aura, barkskin, attune, torc, snake, splendors, kirigami, etc. etc. No tattoos.

Song doesn't show anything. I didn't have a badger.
Lendren2011-07-17 23:28:50
Correction: I had the song set up wrong. This is the highest I could find a way to do, with tattoo, karma war, badger, and the highest scoring combination of song effects I could come up with:

SS eco gets up to 20 DMP buff that is exclusive to that particular combination of skills: AncestralFealty (10) and badger DeepBond (10). There's also 8 from Celebrate, but all bards get that.

Curious to know...

Was this a matter of cutting "not showing up in column B," or did these defenses really not cover cutting damage?

Edit: post deleted because it's about a bug, and it turns out the bug is a lot weirder than I thought it was anyway. Upshot is, I have no idea what my resists really are as an Ecology Spiritsinger, so I can't post them.

First and third person:
A small rift opens to the left of Ixchilgal out of which is thrust a scaled demonic fist, and another small rift opens to his right out of which glides a smooth angelic hand. Caught between the two, the black fist blasts Ixchilgal with excruciating black fire while the angelic hand sends a cloud of churning white energy that tears apart his flesh.

Second person:
A small rift opens to your left out of which is thrust a scaled demonic fist, and another small rift opens to your right out of which glides a smooth angelic hand. Caught between the two, the black fist blasts you with excruciating black fire while the angelic hand sends a cloud of churning white energy that tears apart your flesh.

I am somewhat disappointed by the lack of butterflies.
