Question: Why do all you master complainers constantly downplay Transform? There is a bloody reason why every master out there uses transform instead of barrier. It's *BETTER*. It's easier. It's more versatile. It's readily available. Comment #1: The decline of "quality" Masters matches the decline of just about every cabal out there. I don't know the reason for it, but I notice it when I play. Comment #2: carrion.gameshadow.com/cforum/messages/24725.html (Your comments, almost verbatim, were written up months ago on this thread, if you're interested)
a. You get it earlier than you can safely find/use barrier wands,
b. you can use transform with sanc,
c. you can keep transform up at all times.
