In Reply to: Almost everyone gains more from barrier at hero than from transform, and if you can't use both, in most cases transform is useless. Duuh. n/t posted by Pointer Out Of Dumbasses on January 4, 2000 at 15:16:12:

I have seen countless logs of masters either getting away or killing ragers or sylvans where if he had had my health he would have died in the third round. How can you even say that an extra 750hp wouldn't decide a battle?!? If every time I died as my hero tranny (with < 500hp natural hp), I suddenly was bumped up to 750hp, I think I would still have that set of darkened I once had. And don't forget master necro's don't have to wait for their first couple of zombies, conjurers get pets that are half again as big as normal conjurers. After all, we all know how underpowered conjurers and necros are to begin with. Well, if you feel that way, then don't use transform. Nobody forces you to use the spell, though I would prefer transform to barrier.
