I’m currently working on a mage thaum build and I finally hit RC. Rune of giants is a lot of fun but it’s really annoying to not be able to cast any skills at all. I was originally aware of this before I got RC anyway.
So on that note, it would be really nice if the rune caster’s rune of giants could receive a small buff to allow the user to use their own buffs. It doesn’t have to be attack skills, just buffs. Rune of giants is already pretty under powered at is it is anyhow damage-wise unless you’re a warrior. Even then, just allowing self buffs isn’t much to ask for. Other people can buff you in giant form, so why can’t you just simply flail your own arms to give yourself buffs as well?
On another topic, I would also like transpose for thaumaturge to get a buff. Maybe a +50% healing attribute or something on cast to heal up some of the remaining HP from casting transpose would be a BIG help. It really sucks to have to rely on a cleric or lv10 HP pots when you go from 4k hp to 50k or so HP. In the time you have transpose active, you’ll never heal that much HP by the time it ends. And even if you do, that’s around 5 or so lv10 HP pots wasted just for that buff. Come on IMC, it won’t help to give this skill a little bit more love.
In addition, maybe rune of giants could receive a similar buff. The same argument above applies to it. If you’ve ever played a squishy thaumaturge/RC, you’ll know how it feels to not have these features. I’m hoping in the future IMC will take a look at this and do some tweaks here and there to make the build I’m going a bit more fun and thaumaturge transpose much more viable.
