DruidShifter/monk - Roundkick while shifted is just awesome

[Farsha]

Thanks obsidian you've made my day, that kick animation while shifted is just pure joy to watch

Anyone else has really neat small thing that they really enjoyed?

[AndreaColombo]

That animation’s pretty good.

 

I also like the golden Spiritshift forms when used with Gilded Enmity and the game’s VFX in general.

 

Environmental audio’s pretty good, though I found it significantly improved by using CMSS 3D from my Sound Blaster.

 

EDIT: the new inventory icons are also rad.

Everything looks better in gold.

Anyone tried Golden Ogre? Or Golden Fury?

[morhilane]

I tried the Transmuter/Goldenpack...you do turn into a huge golden Ogre, lol.

 

I'm not sure about the efficiency of that form though, recovery between smashing things was sloooooooooooooow (I didn't look at the stats).

[Boeroer]

Transmuter is a bit of a bummer. Slow cast, -4 INT and bad weapons (might get changed). The idea itself is great though. I would like it if you could keep your weapons or if Transcendent Suffering worked.

[morhilane]

It feels like it didn't get the damage/recovery/cast time polish other features got, but Golden Hulk is pretty awesome looking though. I kinda want to play that Arcane Knight setup now and smash puny things while covered in gold.

Transmuter is trash tier to me because the ogre form is not cool to me, and it's really underpowered. Also you lose access to fireballs!

[Boeroer]

The Ogre fists are dual wielding but slow weapons with high base damage. This makes them ideal for Full Attack abilites like FoD. I made a Bleak Walker/Transmuter and the FoD hits for 100+ with each fist. Hoever, the armor is total crap: 6 AR with 100% armor penalty at lvl 9. Why that? It's so bad...

 

Effectively you gain +-0 stat points as an Ogre: +4 MIG, +2 CON, -4 INT and -2 DEX. No extra health or anything.

 

Compared to spiritshift you get:

 

- much slower casting time (druid: instant compared to Transmuter:4.5 secs)

- worse armor (druid: 0% recovery penalty compared to Transmuter: 100%)

- no special passives or anything to make it better

- you spend a spell use per encounter (druid: modal 1/encounter, not a spell compared to Transmuter: lvl-1-spell)

- you have the hefty drawbacks of your wizard subclass while an Animist has none

 

This ability needs an overhaul to make it worthwhile. At the moment it's only okish with a rogue, ranger or paladin multiclass (= many Full Attacks).

Or Golden Fury?

maybe you're gonna inflict yourself damage since gold is a good conductor... or you can't attack due to being a permanent lightning rod
