Re: Water magic and matrix gems

Definately not your stats. If you transmog into something go get its abilities
and keep your stats. Creatures have 12 as a default on all stats and then they
get the Exceptionals and Inferiors calculated in. You can't buy them down or
there would be ALOT of ugly people in the world  ( who would give up the ability
to sing well though I don't know :) ).

You do have to buy down your skills though to accomodate your transmog into
a creature with abilities otherwise you just have a really good costume.
