This is a slightly edited version of my last (which I didn't post) to fit in the regen sleeves (over slayer) and imo it's very good for what I do which is bard/eld duo both having AT form ^^

 

[Afran]

Meh, uber template except it's totally invalid; those sleeves aren't available in reinforced, assumed they would be. Reinforced have health regen and don't fit at all. Here's my pre-event template I'll be sticking to in that case, so this thread isn't a total fail

Exact same items as above aside from the sleeves and different imbues, resists and hits are higher.

farm a nice rog ring or bracer with +duration and heal effectivness and cap out duration and heal effectivness if your gonna run small man groups

I had a 14 Duration / 14 Heal Effectivness, 3 to all magic skills, 10 dexterity on albion was pretty leet!

Then you can't fit in AT

fuck AT so easy to see through these days because you expect the classes that don't want to be targetted to use it.

It's not really for targeting, it's practically stealth from the zerg though

Well not really, spell graphics give it away and given its a bard you'll be casting 99% of the time for interupts, demezz, heals. AT is just cosmetic these days its a shadow of its former self... same with any morph really.

 

[Dvaerg]

Do you want utility or morphs...
Thats the questioN!

 

[BloodOmen]

pretty much and in the long run utility comes out on top every time for support classes people with common sense see through/find morphs effortlessly.

Then we'll have to agree to disagree, because I can guarantee it makes a huge difference to players visibility when me and the eld are swimming along at night in AT form compared to our usual forms~

It really doesn't tho, your model changes and even your scale but your spell graphics remain the same.

Don't really have any spell effects when we're swimming around

 

[CorNokZ]

Give back OLD small croc form and everyone would use AT again

 

[Punishment]

Why not just use EoY ? Especially in a smallman

 

[Afran]

EoY is useless in duo
