Guild Wars 2

Consider it a QoL issue, but the Transformation skills are bad. Bad, bad.

Sticky movement and animation, a host of skills with barely any time to read them, and short effect times with punishing long cooldowns.

Granted, the second issue is easy(ish) to resolve by using them out of combat and staring at them a bit, so it’s not a huge concern. But anyway…

Point is, they’re just very unwieldy. Auto-attacks are turned off, and their combat isn’t nearly as fluid as standard weapon attacks. In a reflex-oriented combat system, that ranged from undesirable to a death sentence.

So, my hope is that the Transform skills get an update, but I also guess that starts question.

Do people use transformation skills (thus justifying dev time to smooth them out), and are there people who would use them, if they weren’t so clunky?

The Necro ones are very useful.

the only one I have a problem with is the moa-form, I wish there was a way to get turned into one in the mists to practice those skills

yeah plague is so nice.

And yesterday I saw a youtube video where a guy was moaed and precided to peck the mesmer down and killed him, and it was so funny!

but usallly if I get moaded I just run away.

Necro’s transformations are great, but suffer from the disabled AA. It’s just a minor annoyance, though. Warrior’s Rampage is also decent controls wise, but it’s very weak.

Haven’t used Lichform in a while but plague form pulses on it’s own, you don’t want AA, and DS lets you set which skill you want to AA.

I think a lot of people do use them, it’s extremely class dependent though…

I don’t think I have ever seen a war use rampage, and most eles barely ever use tornado… Necros on the other hand are an entirely different story, both plague and Lich are good.
