In the "we know when we've laid an egg and have decided to come clean about it" department, I'd like you all to know that we're going to change the Hibernian Sidewinder style back to the way it was prior to the 1.38 patch. It will be changed on Pendragon and the live servers this evening to use Black Widow as its opening instead of Tarantula. This means that non-shield wielding characters in Hibernia will now be able to use the spell. Please note that because of this reversal, we had to tweak down the bonus damage of Sidewinder to match the new opening requirement. We apologize for the confusion and heartache this process caused.
