    To give everyone an update, we are very aware that there's still an outstanding bug with this ability. At this time, we're planning on just giving this ability a little overhaul, though the exact changes are still being finalized. When we have details to share, we'll definitely let you know.

    Overhaul.... please be stam morph! PLEASE BE STAM MORPH!

    It's an ultimate... so this makes no sense.

    I'm guessing he meant make it use physical damage so it's affected by Mighty.

    If you can't make us "invisible" just make it so you ignore non-dot single target damage... Call it "warding swarm"

    If people see you apply a ultimate dot like swarm. You'll get multiple Dawnbreakers/meteor. The invisible part is what made it strong.

    Yeah but being able to catch players with surprise attack stuns was so strong. Clouding Swarm is what let nightblades be a lot more aggressive against mulitple opponents. Also i miss steel tornado and clouding swarm very much.

    Yeah i meant to change the damage type to disease or something. Bats are known for carrying diseases and such so it works out.

    The only reason im in favor of a stamina morph of bat swarm is because im in favor of magicka werewolfs as well. Werewolfs however would need a bigger overhaul to support it but its something i wish would happen. I'd imagine magicka werewolfs would be very very tanky with insane heals and stamina versions just be high damage.

    They couldn't fix it, so they changed it. Changing it back would result in the same bugs.

    Any changes to this? Was such a great ultimate now I haven't seen it used.

    My friend bringing clouding swarm back would mean buffing 1vX again.ZoS will not do it cause they clearly stated they want 1vX to be impossible.Xv1 should always win in their pugminds so dont expect that great ult to be back.

    They broke this when they broke cloak its ridiculous.

    I guess swarm will be fixed when cloak is finally fixed on the 5th....

    ...of never. Really, wasn't there some promise of a clock fix in the last patch? Anybody noticed any improvement.. I haven't.

    Well, clouding swarm may not be fixed, but it appears thread-Necromancy is working as intended.

    the only "necromancy" going on here is the ancient history of unfixed bugs on ZOS part. Still broke, so still relevant.

    let's start a "deadpool" and guess how much longer this one will go on.
