Hey guys I haven't played for awhile...

This might be a simple question but I'm curious... sometimes when I attack something I get this purple swirly effect around me. Doesn't seem to give me a buff or anything so, whats it all about?

    Yes, because people really need 900+ dex or 1000+ magic just for the lulz

    I used to think it was to indicate that you had aggro, but recently it has happened to me several times when I clearly didn't have aggro - in BHs where someone had the mob mostly dead and I just got in one hit, for example. So now I have no idea what it is for.

    If you don't like my attitude, you should realize I don't care.

    It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.

    I thought it was just the fact that you enter combat mode but no clue.

    it's what some others said, it indicates combat mode and appears when you enter it, if you dont leave combat mode before attacking your next target it wont reappear til u exit then reenter combat mode.
