ESF: Illusion Question

Post by a shrouded figure » Wed Feb 12, 2020 9:49 pm

Can I pick up ESF: Illusion on my Druid and make a dragon copy of myself?

EDK + Companion + Dragon Form + Dragon Illusion = ... Hilariously OP?

when i last checked, yes. although i tested with totem forms not dragon form.

Admittedly i remember there was talk of disabling ESF illusion working with transformations but not sure if this happened, was 12-18 months ago when i last tested.

You can test it on the PGCC, don't forget.

I am pretty sure ESF Illusion can be used when transformed but the clone has pre-transformation stats. So it will be a dragon but the dragon will have the combat power of your character in their original form with no buffs (but with gear, maybe)

I certainly hope the ability to clone when transformed isn't taken away since it's such a great RP tool.

Aww... well that sinks that plan. I assume you can’t clone your EDK?

Even if you can, it will have your stats.

I beleive the reason is that people will clone themselves, return to their original form, buff the arse off the clone and walk around with an imbalanced henchman, on top of their elemental swarm. So the clone needed to be weaker.
