I was running a quest the other night and noticed an oddity on my monk for the first time ever. The 2-3 oozes around me quickly turned into 20-25 oozes. I thought it a bug but got to thinking about it today and I am speculating that the added pierce damage from the cove gloves could very well be the culprit. I am unable to test it right now but wanted to put that out there in case anyone else was curious why bludgeon damage was splitting the oozes.
