Invisible Batswarm needs a Patch asap

First of all, this is not a QQ-nerf-it-Thread after i've been beaten by a vampire in Cyrodiil, in fact, i know how to deal with clouding swarm (root them with talons or encase and wait for a few seconds).

After having the skill unlocked on my secondary character i finally realized what all the fuss is about.

The spells you cast in clouding-swarm-form are somewhat muted, so you don't hear the particular spell but how are we supposed to tell what's flying at us if we can't even hear it?!
And there are some spells that are hardly visible anyways, Sap Essence for example or any Impulse that is not fire-based.

The worst thing about it though is that you can't tell an enemy-batswarm from a friendly one until you realize those bats have been sucking on you for 2 seconds already and you've eaten 2 fire-rings.


So, for balance's sake in PVP, give this skill a red circle on the ground like you have given it to every other enemy-aoe, even heals, this is the least that can be done!

    Agree.

    Few times I died because of it and I didn't even realize it.

    Animation priorities themselves are already an issue in Cyrodiil, with many effects not showing up. My Cleanse doesn't show half the time I cast it. Dawnbreaker never does, in or out of Cyrodiil. Others are saying Negate Magic is often invisible.

    You lucky guy. Yesterday I casted Cleanse three times in a row just to realise my char still had the burning-animation on him despite not taking fire damage. Good thing cleanse is such a cheap skill.

    when it comes to bats I always just run away friendly or not I don't care I don't want to be around them. It is not as if they provide a benefit to you if they are friendly.

    So I just get out of the way watch it pass and then get my arse back in the fray.

    Better to be safe then sorry IMO.
