Abyss Abilities

So the transformation is when you get really strong and you get all these things sticking out of your shoulders etc. they kind of look like soda cans? like in the video clip of Elyos and Asmo fighting eachother??

Guardian abilities are going to be nerfed. This is the Commander-in-Chief one.

Total HP 160k! Commander in Chief; ??? from ??? server Read What They Read, See What I See

Wow he is big! So all of his attacks are boosted??....What is the DP skill like when transformed?

And for those who don't feel like reading here are what some KAion people said:

Q. How’s the fight when he’s transformed?

월터: I used to tank him so other people could run to safety. I dunno if it’s because I drop a lot of points as [Rank 2 Soldier] or because I bothered him a lot, but he usually comes for me first.

He showed up for a fortress siege some time ago. He was transformed already of course. There was about 40~50 of us there. We tried to take him down but it didn’t go too well. Really hard when he recovers 50% hp instantly every now and then.

애교: It’s basically not possible to kill him when he’s transformed.

에르휘나: Tried several times in groups, never got him down. The cleric DP skill thing has 2000 DP cost and 1 min cooldown. DP is really easy to come by when you’re cutting thru players. I bet Templar would also make an overpowered Guardian if [Divine Armor] works during transformation as well.

월터: Just.. run away. Not much we can do these days.

[Zory]

That guardian seemed pathetically weak for what it costs... was he no good, or what? >>

[rukusix]

Actually it looks like they have already nerfed it once. It was originally a 20 minute duration with 1 hour cooldown. Now it looks like it is only 10 minute duration with 2 hour cooldown.

[Seraphel]

Those abilities mixed with the cleric DP heal almost makes me want to keep playing a cleric for release lol

[rukusix]

Yeah Cleric is pretty much immortal transformed.

Of course not Val. Do you actually think that NCSoft thought of such things? I mean ffs our Spirits/Orbs don't even scale.

[Valmaria]

Yes I had already guessed that...But whats the point in using a spirit since that is your specialty once transformed...I guess one has set attacks that can only be used when transofrmed so no need for spirits??

Most of the Pvp gear really isn't properly tooled to effect a Spirit Master. Our pets get no bonus from the +/- %damage dealt or taken. They don't scale with any of the gear, period, making them terribly weak against properly geared players. The entire thing is a pot of fail.

[Valmaria]

So we would just get the transformation skills that all the other classes get what ever they are I guess that keeps it fair for all classes...unless there were race specific transformation skills

[Chucky]

Can you use your regular skills while transformed or only the guardian skills ?

[damet99]

Yes you can use your regular skills in the transformation. Also I believe 1.0 is 10mins and it gets bumped up to 20mins in 1.2. Also I don't believe there are going to be any nerfs to the skills. Here is a pic of my transformed state.
