    I'd argue that ever since the introduction of S3 (maybe late S2) transformation has only been treated as a free 100% HP pot with 1 hour cooldown. The benefits are so slim given the raw power of S3 equipment there's really no point in using it.

    Normally yeah. I honestly thought Trans would be useful for Donegal at least. Sadly that's not the case. Once again it's just a free 100% HP Pot +haha

    That's all anyone on KR uses trans for anymore but hey. Maybe they will make it very useful again.

    I just use it for the hp and the stamina regen. Would be nice to have more use for it.

    1st trans looks pretty underwhelming after changes. No ATT boost, no stamina buff, HP increase is gone. It went from 100% HP pot with some good buffs to just 100% HP pot.

    It lasts longer though, and I don't know if base transformation stats changed or not (it passively grants boosts to pretty much everything). Additionally, generally transformation removes the on-hit delay (just like Focus Stimulant), increases all animations and increases weapon reach.

    Rise: Revolution Preview mentions new transformation skills. While "Rise" update itself indeed brings new active abilities, I don't see them being added without the rework itself. That being said it's likely to arrive next patch.

    To top it off, the ATT limit removal is going to be massively underwhelming after RISE because everyone will have tons more additional damage that bypasses the attack cap anyway. Infact, all the people who spent countless hours farming for ATT limit removal/damage reflection are going to be screwed as well.

    The one place where trans is really good is in special battles since they have no attack cap, but with the removal of ATT buffs from trans, that niche will be gone too. Even less reason to run special battles i guess.

    Oh but Shakkar will get easie (slightly) since you will have free attack limit removal and 100% damage fissure.
