> > ...to give me some insight. I haven't played a Transmuter in the longest time... literally years... and even then it was only for twenty ranks or so, never got a form. If you can't answer the next questions no problem, but I'd appreciate it if you did. > > 1) What is the best race to be? No, I won't just blindly ask that... I know Human is a popular choice because of health and that they rank quickly, but what of the other races? I always play Evil characters, and my race of choice (whether it be for AP, Assassin) is usually drow. It's fun regarding the roleplaying aspect and 24 dex helps with races that don't (and do) have dodge. > > 2) This kind of relates to the first question... For more than half of the levels you're based on mana and have a support role in the group. Would it be best to be a drow and get +hp equip to compensate, or something else and get +mana equip to compensate? Does this carry over when you shift...? > > 3) What are the best major/minor forms? I personally would like offensive/utility... but reading on this forum have heard many bad things about offensive. Also, a Transmuter is possibly the one class (aside from the goodie-only ones) that I haven't tried and experimented with, and fighting against them UTILITY majors always did best. I don't need to do much exploring, considering I've been around the block, but what about a utility/water? > > 4) What do you mean when you say "the longer you stay in a form everything gets better"? Do you mean tick wise or combat wise? Why do I see so many Transmuters just sitting there, then, not in form? (And not talking to anyone or lacking mana...) > > Hm, I thought I had more questions. Thank you in advance WhiteSpy! > > > The longer you stay in a form everything gets better. So, the longer you have a form and use it the better it gets in everything, parry, dodge, attacks...skills as well. So the only thing you can really do is just use your form and let it get better.
