What? they cant look when duo?! Hec I just rolled a new muter and was going to make him focus in Arcane, but hec with that. So it seems that the only purpose of DUO is to ESCAPE. I do not see any other use for it then, especially considering the lag as well.
Oh well, good thing I havent gone far with it.
Suggestions on Transmuters:
-No Lag for DUO
-DUO would have no restrictions on movements, looking, etc...(Are you allowed to cast spells in DUO right now? I think you should be able to)
-HOLD should work more often.
-No animal shapeshifting at all...
Instead, let them be able to shift into either Weapons or Armor.
They must carry the weapon/armor they wish to shift into in their inventory. Weapons obviously would be an offensive form, not as good as the animal offensive forms. It would just be the damage that the weapon can do on its own. the shifter would retain all the properties and flags of the weapon. They would get the basic 2 attacks (4 if hasted).
Armor would be a defensive form. 1 Attack (2 if hasted) The material of the armor would affect the damage reductions, and the weight of the armor could affect the dodging and misses.
