I knew it!

I first spotted Alarn at level 20something and immediately suspected that felar axe warrior pirate was the kind of character made as a joke or on a dare. When I saw he was actually winning fights (thus, wasn't a completely clueless newbie) I was even more sure, and seeing the choice of sword for second spec clinched it.

I'm kind of curious as to what that would have been. I don't think I've personally been changing much lately, because I simply haven't had much time for CF lately.

I do love my dead gay tower.

I'm pretty sure one sword does result in a three round flurry for all. Hour Past wasn't going to do anything for you unless you were wielding an exotic.
