Transmology still has a number of bugs, namely our main attack. It seems they fixed the damage formula so our hand attacks actually do more than cosmicfire now, but our guantlets(our supposed symbol version) still add nothing.
cosmicfire - 576
crush w gauntlets - 648
crush w/o gauntlets - 648

The gauntlets will fit over your wrists and enhance the damage of hand attacks (claw and crush only).

My only question is, does it do more damage assuming the same Str as you have Int? Or is it more damage, even if you (like most Illuminati) have significantly less Str than Int?

Another issue, Psychedlic aura. Though this is envoyed for October, it would be nice to have looked at before hand. In a 20 minute wargame with 3 monks hitting me, my psychedlic aura didn't proc once. This has been a common thing, in revolts, spars, raids, wargames. Either the proc rate is so low as to be non existent or something is making it just not proc.
And it's not like I am forgetting to put it up, as I have it as my permanent aura.

Another issue that I noticed, but didn't have a chance to look into fully. Transfix. Now, it's supposed to have a hefty writhe time to it, that's what makes it strong, and is the reason everyone went "omg you have passive transfix"... well, something is flawed in it somewhere cause I get people writhing off it in under 3 seconds all the time.

Does contort boost transfix writhe time?
Placeus2010-08-11 10:13:48
I get transfixed so infrequently that I never really tested it. You can contort from transfix, so I guess it does reduce the writhe time.

With the spec race stats, 12 strength and 16 int, I had a dracnari doing 530 damage with cosmicfire and 600 with crush against an unarmored beast.
I have no basis for comparison, but I've found high strength crush damage alright. I play a high strength race and am very happy. The problem is that dracnari are not high strength. The spec race makes bashing worse. Every other spec race makes bashing better. Every other guardian spec race increases intelligence. The problem is that Illuminati bashing damage is based on something different than every other guardian class.
Maybe dracnari could receive a third spec race, with stats that work better for Illuminati. Or gauntlets could add magical damage to crush against mobs. Or crush could remain brute damage, but when gauntlets are worn, it would be transformed into magical damage instead. Or crush damage against mobs could have its base increased, but have the extent to which it's modified by strength decreased.
Gregori2010-08-12 09:05:27
What I would like to see done is the attacks claw/crush stay as they are, for those people who want to use them in PVP/bashing
Then make our gauntlets have an attack syntax based on what type of gauntlet they are, that would be magical source and whichever damage type best fits the gauntlet.
i.e
gauntlet strike shuyin
Holding your hands out, at arms length, a whirling torrent of psychedelic energy and colours cascades from your gauntlets to engulf Shuyin, causing him to convulse in a psychic fit.
Source Magic
Damage Psychic
This would be our "symbol" bashing attack which like everything else could also be used for PVP, I used Shuyin as an example cause he needs some psychedelic in his life.
And since it is int based dracnari are not nerfed by being dracnari.

I'd be all for letting Illuminati have a physical and a magical bashing attack. It's not like Guardian bashing is overpowered.
