  Maybe... This might be something weird to suggest but..
  
  Paladin: Put levels into improving some melee/defensive skills (while in trans), effecting their core mechanic somewhat and slightly buffing their %s + more passives.
  
  Beast: Put levels into improving most offensive melee skills (and windguard) while in trans. (maybe a passive or two, but not as many)
  
  Falcon: Put levels into improving range skills (maybe a passive or two)
  
  Dark knight: One main passive for each 'roll' with 2 skills for each roll. (No putting points into regular skills)
  
  How does that sound?
  
  Oh, and of course, the option for Humans to go back and forth from pally to giant, once every 15 days.

  
  We don't need to make transes even more different than they already are. We need new skills that all four transes can use. We need more trans skills period, we don't need to divide them up further. If anything, Control of Darkness, Full Swing, and Magic Missile should be changed to be usable by all transes.

  We don't need more transformation skills.
  
  We need existing transformation skills to not suck horribly, namely Demi God skills.

  Wings of Rage and Fury of Light can use some work. Right now people are mainly choosing between Wings of Eclipse and Spear of Light, depending on whether they want survivability or damage. Is Shadow Spirit decent at penetrating a boss's defenses?

  Paladin's lack of active says otherwise.
  
  
  If anything the transformation leveling system needs to be reworked. It's too easy to cap it given weekly rebirths.
  
  For Demigod, there could be more skills involving Macha and Nuadha, plus Brionac being compatible with every Demigod skill to give it more use. I honestly don't see the point in restricting selections anymore.

  Having Macha too could either mean not following the storyline at all or making demigod possibly overpowered. (Having powers from the full Badbh Cath will let us use all three at once, instead of switching between Morrighan and Neamhain.)

  More like:
  Paladin's lack of any bonuses aside from stats
  Paladin's ironic lack of 100% guaranteed PDs. What the FUCK.
  
  I mean Giant's getting 100% activation over elves is reasonable imo. The fact that dork knights get 100% activation when their entire point is to be randomized and paladin having more defensive capabilities is just mind-boggling.
  
  Doesn't change that paladin seems to be better even when you factor in the no int. You hardly want to change as a mage because of the lack of 90 matk and the int bonus ends up being moot. I do agree that trans needs usability. Only demi really is any use with its myriad of bonuses, albeit it lags like hell. Now unless you're a pure damage user, not using titles for more damage that aren't specifically max damage, trans is debilitating most of the time.

  Thing is, Paladins reduce 10% more damage than Dark Knights (though Beasts and Falcons are oddly the same). What's really mind-boggling is that why does Beasts and Falcons have 4x more Will than Paladins?

  Wouldn't it be better to just rid of that limit completely?

  What about Defense, Counterattack, Berserk, etc.? They're arguably not viable in the current game anymore, while possessing features that are completely shit (i.e. Defense's party buff range).
  
  Speaking of Counterattack, is it really necessary for Knuckles to still have a slight advantage with it when it's not even a close combat weapon?
  
  

  Bash Damage: 380%

  
  
  Err... If it still hits twice per use and is still incredibly fast, 380% x 2 or 418% x 2 might still seem too high...
  
  

  Dual Wield Mastery
  Ranking the skill gives a chance to strike twice with each attack.

  
  
  Um... all attacks, including skills? Does this mean normals get a 3rd hit?
  
  

  The debuff inflicted by blunt weapons reduces damage against targets loading skills.
  Bonus damage:

  
  
  Aren't these opposite effects?
  
  

  The player is free to use all (melee) attacks during Wind Guard.

  
  
  What about Mana Shield and Trans? Also I wouldn't allow Charge, because that moves the character very huge distance in a split second.
  
  
  The rest are OK, I guess.

  I'm not particularly concerned about any of these skills, though I would merge Rage Impact and Berserk into a single skill.

  Yes. Martial arts needs all the help it can get. Counterattack, coupled with Counter Punch, allows you to easily riposte enemies.

  Compared to its current state, you're looking at a 20% reduction in damage output. Dual wield mastery would raise this back to 5% below its current state.
  
  This isn't particularly concerning since the stun duration is also reduced to 1 second for all weapons that can hit twice. Auto-defense and heavy stander would heavily punish this particular style of play.

  This effect would influence all skills. Normal attacks are excluded. Windmill, for example, would deal 150% damage twice. Triggered Bash would mirror the animation from the renovation trailer:

  That was a wording error on my part. It has been corrected.

  *cough* Slow hits twice, albeit very difficult. *cough*

  Meditation can be toggled during Wind Guard... even though it's not a "melee" skill.

  Blaze is hard to pull off in regular combat which is why its damage output is justified. If you can double up Bash with a slow weapon, you've earned it.

  Of all races, shouldn't that effect Giants? I mean, they hardly have a reason to ever use the Light Armors they even have access to with how great heavy armors are with what little penalties they carry.

  So now Defense and Counterattack are not viable too? Is there any skill in this game you are not cross with?
