Notes[]

Balthazar form

This image shows how the user appears while under the influence of this skill.

  • While in this Form, character animations (emotes, attacks, casts, etc.) will be the same as the Male Warrior's.
  • This skill can be very useful for running, as it gives a non-removable bonus to armor and movement speed for a long duration.
  • Any action (including movement) will be cancelled when this form ends on you.
  • Skills such as Serpent's Quickness that reduce skill recharge rates have no effect on this skill, due to the fact that this skill is disabled instead of recharging.
  • +40 armor means that all damage is halved except for armor ignoring damage.
  • The holy damage conversion caused by this skill is highly effective at demolishing minion armies, particularly when combined with Banishing Strike.
  • Because the 120 second disable effect is triggered by the completion of the skill, if it is interrupted, it will only take the stated 30 seconds to recharge.
  • All Avatars can be recharged with Eternal Aura (though not kept up indefinitely at Mysticism 0 since the duration change).
  • Heroes in avatar form are comparatively smaller than humans in avatar form.
Bug Bug! If killed while in this form and quickly resurrected, it may be possible to return in avatar form indefinitely until moving to a new location. This may be true of all avatars. Although armor and speed bonuses may not apply
