Talk:Whirling Defense

Scattering
I was testing against the skeleton rangers outside Bergen Hot Spring, and sometimes the rangers would move away from me after taking damage from Whirling Defense, and sometimes they wouldn't. One time 2 out of 3 rangers I was adjacent to ran away, but one stayed. So I'm not sure what's the deal with scattering. Is there a "ranged attackers should stay ranged" AI at work? -PanSola 23:28, 2 March 2006 (CST)

It doesn't walk, talk, or squeak like piercing damage
Why should we believe that it deals piercing damage? Just because the description says so? Is there any skill or armor (besides Bonelace and that other one, which only add AL against piercing) that differentiates piercing from other kinds of damage? 23:28, 2 March 2006 (CST)
 * Innocent until proven guilty. Even if it doesn't behave like piercing, if it also doesn't behave specifically like a different particular damage type, then let's leave it as piercing.  -PanSola 23:34, 2 March 2006 (CST)
