Torchbearer movement halts when switching from Fire -> Ice

from Demigod Forums

I activated the Immolation (fire) mode on the Torchbearer and issued an attack order. 

I then commanded the unit to retreat.  It began walking to the point I specified.

The countdown for Fire ran out, and he switched back to Ice mode and STOPPED.

My move order was cancelled because of this and he just stood there.

Im not sure that this is a bug :P

It's an annoyance, but it doesn't even matter. Torchy's mode is going to be a toggle for next revision, so this problem won't arise.

Rain of fire can go, though.

And circle of fire will make a good replacement for it, and be better in most ways.

I'm really hoping for an additional bonus myself for the 2 forms, such as the normal ice bolt attacks slowing in ice mode and the fire attacks dealing damage over time.

That way we don't lose an ability outright for a simple toggle switch, but just replace it with something much more interesting.

That's the impression I got from the full list of torchbearer changes.

Here it is (no edit, so DP, sorry)

In the next build:

* Torchbearer can toggle between ice and fire at will.
* Deep Freeze at higher levels adds a movement and attack speed slow.
* Permafrost has an additional level, which adds an aura based mana regeneration.
* Rain of Fire has been removed to make room for Frozen Heart(How you transition back to ice mode)
* Fire Aura has an additional leve, which adds an fire based dot to the Torch Bearers attacks.
* Ring of Fire has been changed to Circle of Fire and is targeted.

Should have burning/frostbite conditions and the torchbearer gain mana when nearby things are frostbiten/burning.  Would be neater, and other Demigods could have fire and ice attacks would help the Torchbearer regen mana.

That would be interesting. Bring it up for the next beta. I'd say let frozen replace frostbite just to keep the mechanics clear of statuses that are that similar.
