Question Title: Are the particle effects generated by the advocate aegis random or in a pattern?
Category: Graphics
Question: I know this is kind of a weird question, but being as that I am an advocate and spend a lot of time looking at the particle effects generated by the aegis, I believe that there is indeed a pattern, and that the effects aren't random. However, some other advocates think it is at random, and since you guys and gals were kind enough to make it for us, maybe you could clue us in.

Answer: It's a parabolic "swarm" emitter with some randomness induced. So yes, it is a pattern, but yes, it is random..
