  I ranked Body of Chaos first and I'm pure melee.(then I ranked mind of chaos to 9 for crit)

  
  
  Congratulations, you're leaps and bounds more intelligent than over half the mabi population (this is not meant to sound sarcastic, it is a serious congrats).

  I honestly prefer Dark Knight regardless of class. You get all your passive defenses activated at once, rather than a random one for Paladins, prolonged transformation, etc etc.
  But it's up to you, really.

  I left my Elf as a Justice, because that's all the HP I cared for.
  Then, I got r1 Mind of Connous, r9 Passive Defenses, and am working on Sharpness of Connous.
  
  ...Huzzah?

  The main point of my post is that you can be a melee dark knight, and not suck at it. You can be a mage paladin, and not suck at it. Both transforms offer at least -something- to all play styles. You can't "ruin" your character. The differences between the ideal trans and the other trans are very minor. I would go further to say that at low levels where trans is far more significant compared to your non-transformed stats, how you rank your trans skills plays a far, far greater importance than which trans you are using. For a melee/ranger paladin, ranking either power, eye, or sword of order is far more useful than ranking spirit of order. If you're a mage paladin, ranking spirit of order is more helpful. For dark knight, ranking the appropriate stat would help your build more than soul of chaos, unless you are seeking to maximize MP over INT as a mage. Yet everyone seems to rank spirit of order or soul of chaos first, regardless of build.

  
  
  I know. I was basically just saying that DK is easier to make use of, for Human Mages.
  
  My opinion that Elf Mage > Human Mage if only because of Falcon still stands, though.

  Even though a DK can stay in its transformation all day, the problem that I'm seeing is getting enough Potions to keep that going. I normally like to keep my potions for situations where I accidentally screw up and get owned. Actually, I don't even normally have a good supply of them either...

  
  
  Severe Pot poison and Friday can allow you to last a long time if you didn't know. The option to make your transformation longer is better than not having that option though.

  That I didn't. Thank you for informing me.
  
  I suppose I'll have to wait till I get there then. I'm pretty sure G3 has a quest where they let you try it out anyways. Then again I need to finish G1 first. Stupid brown fomor pass...
