Can confirm. Bad user experience, bad gameflow. It almost seems that is has loading issues while transforming into/back.
Speaking of apo-form: Still feels useless. Most of players use it as a panicbutton which saves from dying. But thats mentioned in other topics here.
They need to get a use or can easily be removed completely.

Yeah I completely agree about the uselessness & panic button statement. There's just no oomph behind the form after using it the first time. They really need to address it, maybe something like a simple linear skill node tree, where each of the form's attack skills can be upgraded. I have some idea in my head of what I mean, probably would be easier to draw it out to be honest.

Or they could just do away with the special abilites in general and just make it an empowerment thing for your existing abilities OR add another layer on top of ability customization to further open up unique builds. People like to experiment with stuff and fine cool ways to play regardless if its the best or not.
