If you want to play the specialization for flavor purposes you can definitely drop a few stat points in STR (for the spider), but spellpower gives you better returns in the long run (especially with form DEX/CON). Finally all forms are largely immune to physical effects like knockdown, so while other mages are busy getting mauled or being knocked around you can simply keep using special abilities or continue dealing damage.Īll Shapeshifter form stats scale with spellpower, so the idea is that you want your spellpower as high possible on a Shapeshifter.
All shapeshifted form special abilities work on humanoids, regardless of rank - you can drop two Overwhelms (spider and bear forms) on Ser Cauthrien or Branka and watch your allies tear them apart and there'd be absolutely nothing they can do about it, for example. All shapeshifted form special abilities ignore spell resistance, for example, which makes them particularly useful in nightmare difficulty. Some people like to play Shapeshifters for flavor, and there's nothing with that, but the point of playing a Shapeshifter is NOT so you can exchange spellcasting with auto-attacking while shapeshifted. It's actually pretty powerful, simply because it shines in situations where conventional spellcasting is simply not as viable.Īll the best Shapeshifters are nukers. It's definitely the most misunderstood specialization.
