Spells: Flaming Sword of Xuzl pet

[Vamael]

This spell had 2 functions. raid fight on a boss that doesnt AOE. PVP to interrupt casters.

[Rygar]

I seem to recall reports that the flaming sword doesn't actually appear to flame

@OP, what do you mean by this. Are you talking appearance? Is the P99 pet on fire or something?

Should be scimitar + shiny brass shield look if I recall correctly

For live I found this quote:

"the mana cost of this spell is way to high for the life expectancy of this non-flaming Flaming Sword. One riposte or AE and its toast. "

It looks like it was just a non-flaming sword. Perhaps this guy just had the particles turned off though.

(note the context of this quote is for fighting uber mobs, suggesting it can survive DSes but not a big 200 hp / 400 hp riposte / aoe typical of velious mobs - further evidence it should have more than 1hp!)
