Title: Eagle Claw Boots!!
Post by: MW United on June 22, 2015, 11:48:03 AM: How awesome is this piece of equipment !!!

Anyway if I equipped my lovely boots and I wanted to cast force push on myself, what are the options available to me ?

I love the boots to primarily stop a forcemasters abuse of the force spells. I now want to play as a forcemaster and I'm wondering if these awesome boots I've been using in most matches need to be replaced by another set of boots?

Any thoughts guys?

But it does mean I can't Force Push myself to move 3 spaces in a turn; e.g. would have to use Teleport to cover large distances.

They're very important to include into push/wall builds because you don't want your opponent abusing your build against you.

Your only option is to carry a different pair of boots, to switch out of then push yourself. But that causes you to lose an action and the mana spent to switch out the equipment.
