Useful Info

Draconian shifters are lightly armed warpers. Although not terribly dangerous on their own, they can blink their allies into melee range with you, and can disable your own ability to blink, teleport, or cast the spell Phase Shift. They can be found accompanying other draconians in the Realm of Zot, as well as occasionally appearing in the Abyss.

Tips & Tricks

  • Their ability to lock down your most powerful escape abilities and surround you with powerful enemies makes them one of the deadliest members of a draconian band. Silencing them will prevent them from using their spells, rendering them much less effective.
