Eh?

*runs off to look up the wiki*

Cool. Yeah, my PB is only level 7. He would be higher, but Vahzilok zombies keep beating him up. Anyway, that's good to know, and something to definitely look forward to (I love hover blasting.)

I think PB fly also suffers from more 'drift' than regular flight does...not sure if thats due to flight changes or level or what... Hmm.

Looking back on my Kheldian play, I think the #1 reason I stopped playing them was the clunky animations (#2 was the slot crunch...so many powers, and most of them having to remain slotless for extended periods was frustrating and a fun killer). Kheldians should be able to "pop" from one form to another, to make them smooth and responsive. That alone would make them feel pretty epic. I'd also like to see the Dwarf and Nova forms get their own slots to alleviate the slot crunch.

Aye, definitely think the biggest issue with Kheldians at present is the animation speed, or lack thereof, when it comes to shape shifting. For Warshades, Eclipse and Mire could also really do with shorter animations, or at least animation times. As it is, you can fire a power, have the next one chained for 2-2.5 seconds, fire the next one, and already be dead before it actually kicks in. The second power tends to be eclipse (using Mire to boost accuracy) which, if it only didnt take so damn long to fire, wouldn't be an issue.

But it is. And it really needs fixing.

While that's certainly true I will say I've definitely had more than several instances of my form change binds failing to work and it pretty much only happens when I have a lot of folks attacking me (after firing off a mire or eclipse usually).

It's really kind of annoying actually.

You go fight a mob with heavy mez capability (Rikti are a agood one, with mentalists) and tell me it's not true.

What happens;
1) WS is mezed
2) WS clicks Black Dwarf form, gets mid-way through transformation
3) Same enemy or different enemy hits with another mez
4) Transformation is interrupted.
5) Go back to 1) and repeat

It's happened far too many times to be an off chance of wierdness.

Not in the traditional snipe sort of definition of "Interruptable" but with Shape shifting and mezzes it certainly happens. I'm pretty sure it's an issue / bug with the engine itself though and there's nothing that can be done with it directly. However decreasing the animation time of shape-shifting would reduce the likelyhood of it happening.

Pretty much this ^
