YAVP - MfTm^Oka - Finally got a Transmuter win!
...and to a lesser extent, finally got a Merfolk win, but that's apparently not as big of a deal.
While it's really, really hard to get off the ground, Transmuters are absolutely amazing once you get them going and have a good selection of forms ready. It seemed like each form did a certain job well. Statue Form was, as expected, the main go-to form, giving me massive AC and letting me keep my significant EV as well, plus letting me keep the Warlock's Mirror active, but what I didn't expect was the usefulness of the other higher-level forms in certain situations. Blade Hands, even after I got Statue Form online, was a good "glass cannon" form and also let me keep the effects of my Running boots and armor. Statue Form works extremely well in places with negative energy and torment, but you do have to watch your speed. Hydra Form gave what was, no joke, the easiest Vaults 5 ever - I just plain devoured everything. Literally. It was also helpful dealing with Draconian packs in Zot. Dragon Form was for big, solo nasties like OoF and the like. The way each form seemed to shine in certain circumstances but still had weaknesses to play around, plus the useful and varied support spells like Sticks to Snakes and Irradiate, makes Transmutations a fun school and really made this an enjoyable character.
The massive amounts of awesome items also helped.
I got 5 runes, but I feel I could have easily gotten more - mostly I wanted to just mark Tm off on my sheet.
