> But I have travelled with one a bit, and I can confirm that several rather nasty beasts can see duo'ed muters. Worse, there is a lag when you pop out of duo, during which an unshifted transmuter... gets hit a lot. Often enough to kill a hero, since these mobs are rather tough.
That's the interesting thing. Being an elf, I knew I had to have enough
+hp equipment to survive such an attack. The lag really can be a killer,
and you find you learn rather quickly which mobs in which areas can see
duo. Ahhh the memories of teleports gone bad.
> If you want to explore with a muter, pick major offense. The beasts can see you, but they often can't beat you.
Actually, I might suggest major defense, minor air or utility.
