Well, seems the limit of my casting ability is 35. I yeild roughly 10 pulses. A 35 mana cast will usually take a leucro down to close to deaths door.

For some reason on rock guardians, the spell only hits legs and arms.

This isn't a killing spell, it's a stunning/hindering spell. I figure it serves as a negative buff on the target. But I think it could do it's job better.

Would be nice if we could get longer lasting effects with lower mana. Frankly, it simply isn't worth the cost to cast it at 35 just so it lasts a little longer. I could see it being a viable spell if say, a 10 mana cast would keep a target hindered/stunned for 30 or so seconds. Right now, it's too short. It's like it doesn't know if it wants to be a damage spell or an assist spell. Gotta choose one.

Why can't we stack it? Same goes for PLS.

I haven't tested this spell all the way yet. I've only tested against Leucs and Geni so far. With one cast i'm taking them down but even geni are still a bit below my skill level and the swarm will kill them.

The thing that surprises me is Dritz saying that his max prep is 35 which is the same as what I was able to put into the spell. I know Dritz should have a good bit more PM than i've got. This makes it sound like swarm has a hard cap of 35 mana? If this isn't the way it's supposed to be you may want to look into it as this does sound odd to me.
