Since this skill applies a cool lightning effect every time you use it, but what it does is, it doesn't remove the effect, so it stacks up until you eventually become a light orb It also reduces your fps by 70-90% eventually...

It does not affect everyone. Based on a some helpful testing done by a user in the thread on the forums who's experiencing the bug, it appears to affect specific clients rather than specific characters - if they give the helmet to a friend, the user can still see the bug on their friend's character, but their friend doesn't see it. So far I haven't been able to reproduce this locally, but we'll get there. I haven't been able to give this one a huge amount of time so far because I've been busy fixing something that was broken by the fix to another thing that was broken by the initial fix to the dual wielding swords bug.

I'm particularly interested in hearing from anyone who's seen this bug inconsistantly - if it wasn't happening but now is, or was happening but now isn't, please post in the forums here with any details you can give of your setup and anything you can think of that might have changed. Narrowing down how to reproduce the problem will be important to fixing it.
