Talk:Swirling Aura

Past Discussion
This appears to not ever block flare. So I'm not sure what they mean by magical projectile. --Fyren 19:55, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps they mean enchanced arrows, (in which case it's a bit of a misnomer to say magical projectiles) or maybe it's a bug with Flare or Swirling Aura? Have you tried it with other magic based projectiles such as Water Trident, Ice Spear or Stone Daggers? If none of these get blocked it probably safe to assume it's a bug with Swirling Aura (or it's working properly and we are defining 'magical projectile' incorrectly).--William Blackstaff 20:37, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

I think they mean staff/wand/cane/etc attacks with magical projectiles.
 * Once upon a time, this skill gave a 75% chance to block magical projectiles (flare etc) as well as attacks, and was therefore useful. Now it's just a crappy '50% block' skill that you can use every 60 seconds for 10 energy.
 * With Nightfall, I'll bet this is buffed to "all ranged attacks", since with Spears as well as arrows, it's rather outdated.Labmonkey 06:09, 10 October 2006 (CDT)

Does this skill still block wanding attacks? - 08:47, 5 September 2006 (CDT)

Useless in PvP but...
I'd imagine this would work rather well in running as an ele.
