And well, it’s a given that it’d be buggy. But still a very minor downside, considering the sheer utility you get.
EDIT: Kyle, according to the patch notes thread, this issue was fixed in iToS in 6/14. Was your testing done before that? Kind of a bummer, though it’d be very gamebreaking if it weren’t fixed, so it’s good they fixed it quickly…
EDIT: I’d like to add and discuss a post I saw a few days ago.
##On physical/magical transformations usage
[quote=“niataomi, post:19, topic:188576, full:true”]
Since everyone been mentioning about Monk/Paladin. I’ll just add in something i saw in KTOS a while ago.
High STR Cleric isn’t that bad. I have seen most KTOS running full STR Druid with massive critical gears dish out pretty amazing damage comparing Monk and Paladin.
C2 Cleric > C3 Priest > C2 Druid
Keep/transform Blue Pawndel transformation for amazing multi-hit boxes spin with limitless AoE ratio.
Fun build, Cleared ET, and failed in PvP xD (Except for Archer based transformation).
There are certain monsters with multi-shot skills (Especially range), so that work extremely in PvP.
[/quote]I know that kToS is kToS, and here is here. So we shouldn’t be too keen on “x and x works amazingly in KR”…
…but what’s keeping the build from working in the international version at all? I don’t see any recent changes relevant to this build in the patch notes thread, other than the bug Kyle mentioned being fixed. The skill being a multihit would naturally mean it scales well with STR after all, and the Animal-type Specialty does apply (I assume), even if it’d require minmaxing for gear crit in a STR-focused build.
@niataomi, do you have any videos of this build in action?
Also, if that's how it is, then what's keeping a magical transformation from working? Something like Flamme or Siaulav Mage... same idea, 3 hits spammable aoe... there's no particular attribute to benefit from, but being INT-based, it's much easier for other ranks to benefit from the stat build.
And spammable aoe just sounds really desirable in general, it’s not really something that Cleric has access to, the closer you can get is Krivis2/3 (with only 1 aoe skill of 30sec-ish CD).
By the way, are items usable while transformed?
