Are there any of the 7 elemtental paths that prevent an invoker from being tripped or legswept? Or do they eventually gain the flight spell? Or is the only way to be an arial invoker?

How is that master of air and winds can not fly and transmuter/shifter can?

Looking very strange

n/t

if transmuters wont fly and invokers will? nothing will change seriously

IT affects balance by allowing vokers to be immune to trip at the same time as being immune to something else, via a different greater shield. (Since otherwise, they'd need to use shield of winds to do it, instead.)

Hm, but transmuters can have protection from bash + trip at the same time...why invokers can not?

Worth to mention, that transmuters already have much better melee abilities than invokers

And this leads them to be less vulnerable to lag already

They have nasty damaging spells like invoker's or even better (I would gladly trade my buffet for neuro disruption)

> Hm, but transmuters can have protection from bash + trip at the same time...why invokers can not?

They can, it's called a flight potion.

Eh, neuro isn't really a damaging spell. It does do damage, but that's not why you cast it. :P

I wouldn't say transmuters are even competitive with invokers in the damage department -- transmuters do have some spells that you'll see throw big damage, but it's unstated that these usually follow the transmuter spending time getting corporeal softening, decalcify, or both in play, and that they've got fairly hefty lag.

When it comes to damaging multiple enemies, the invoker is clearly superior as well.

Transmuters cannot be immune to pincer, cranial, trip, mountain storm kick (well, actually, some muters can), etc.

Invokers can.

Plus muters do become more vulnerable to certain necros if they put up translucence. One day, that could matter a lot!

The major shield in the air path (Shield of Winds, perfect airshield), prevent tripping and similar skills.. among other things. Buy you arent "flying", just avoiding it.
