The switch timer may be reduced just a little bit, but only with 1-2 seconds or something. However, I fully agree with your point about clicking the icon multiple times to do something. Even skills it sometimes doesn't seem to work. For example, you click Bramble Shield, then your ally and it does NOTHING! When this happened 3 times in a row, and my ally died because the game failed to perform the action and my ally yelled at me for being stupid I rage quitted.... god I was pissed.

I've played QoT many times and agree that mode changing is a rather nasty thing to master. There are times when I went to open mode to cast Ground Spikes, only to have my bramble shield broken by some burst damage combo. The delay in going back to closed mode to cast bramble shield seemed like an eternity.

Trying to switch between the two forms to juggle the skills to cast on the situation also prevents her from performing her normal attacks. Which is another thing to take into account.

This is all part of the balance of the character though.  I think maybe a little better feedback on whether or not you successfully pressed the button is about as good as you can get it.  The whole reason you have to change modes is because of how powerful having both sets of skills active at a time is.

And seriously, mana regen and Damage permanent buffs?  This isn't just put in the game as a micro management mini game.  The whole point is that those are VERY strong effects, and not intended to be balanced if they were continuously active.

I have to disagree. The mode changing timer is their to prevent QoT and TB from being too powerful. Imagine facing a mostly ice TB. he does a 2x shatter combo, then switches instantly and uses fireball for an extra nuke, then imidiatly switches back. I dont know the numbers of hand, but thats a hell of a lot damage that could all be done in about 5 seconds without any mode changing timer. I have less experience with QoT, but its a similar issue.

You always have time to change, I do it frequently in combat as a hybrid TB and dont die much if at all. It would be nice if you could keep moving though..

I agree, they should be able to move while changing modes at the very least.  Changing modes is far too painful as it stands.  This is one of the primary reasons I play them very little compared to the other demigods.

I never said mode changing on TB was difficult. And if allowing him to move while changing mode is OP due to the mode-shift bonuses then the answer is simple: nerf the bonuses.
