End of clownbox/transmute?

Well this can hinder the Sorcery users, but everyone can still use Shock Colas to do same thing.

Not sure if sarcasm or not, but I'll answer anyways. Yes.

I'm actually curious to see exactly how many will make shock colas just do to it now that Transmutation can't anymore. I know people do it currently but I wonder if there will be more now.

Realistically all they really had to do was remove Transmute's exploding aura. That would've prevented the whole Trans --> Clownbox ka-boom in the first place. It still would've been "breaking" Transmutation in a sense but not as broken as it will be after this update

I can already see Central City getting more action from farmers wanting those super-speed bits, haha.

I don't even play a sorc, but you whiners are disgusting.

Not going to happen, because it takes effort and resources to go that route.

maybe that's their plan all along... to liven up Central City. lol

Meh, I don’t see the problem – either way to be honest (using it and not using it). If someone wanted to use 2 powers to do damage so be it. Most of us are well aware it’s a hit and miss thing – and is a waste of power etc. That’s the trollers problem and why they are treated as batteries.

There are many many other ways to do damage - this was not the be all end all for sorc dps.

Thank You! I'm so sick of hearing about it, seeing it and reading about it. Now all the fotmers who think its the only way to dps with sorcery can move on.

Also I cant wait till all the fools who dont read the forums still try to do it lol

Those aren't encasements so I would think not

I wonder if it affects fos1 feats

Thank you for addressing this DCUO Developers! XD

"Transmutation = Please take away its ability to transmute Clown Box...it's an embarrassment to real Sorcery DPSes..."

+1

They're changing the way that transmute interacts with encasements - which is something trapping a player. This does not mean that they are changing the way that transmute works with objects, such as the scorpion eggs in FOS1.

Sony have a bad habit of leaving out a little bit of detail in their patch notes... instead of saying that it "will now only explode harmful encasements", perhaps they'd have been better to simply say that it "will no longer explode beneficial/intentional encasements".

The 2% of sorc users that actually use this move for burst damage properly don't need it to do good damage; it was simply a little quirk to them, a fun oddity.

The other 98% that used it as a way to claim they were top DPS on the chart? I have absolutely no problem with you giving SOE $10 to respec, all the while cursing them to their face as they sit there, smile, and hand you your respec token.

You only brought it on yourself, fake Sorcery users.

Now respec to Gadgets again.

Nooo! Don't bring them over to us... T-T

Let...let Ice take them in. XD

Just so they stay away from my Nature.

Since they fixed Swarm I think we are safe though lol.

Lol isnt clownbox a harmful encasement? it deals damage lol

LOL! XD

Ok, to all the former Transmute/Clownboxers...

Please stay away from the following powers forever:

Sorcery, Gadgets, Nature, Electric, Light, Mental, Fire, Ice, and Earth.

Thank you! XD
