Weretouched Shifter Questions

[𝔜𝔲𝔢]

Hey all :)

I'm currently playing as a weretouched shifter (act 2) and it's quite fun so far (the start was kind of rough :D).
Haven't really played much, so I have a couple of questions:

Are there any feats that are required or are too good to pass on? Currently I have:

- Dodge
- Toughness
- Precise Strike
- Shifter's Multiattack
- Weapon Focus (Claw)

Are any of these useless for weretouched? I'd appreciate help with that, as I'm somewhat confused by the sheer number of feats the game is throwing at me.

What other classes would make sense for a weretouched? I put one level into Mutation Warrior - do the Mutation discoveries stack with shifter?
Would barbarian/bloodrager be good for the rage skills?

Are there mystical skills that are better than others? So far I've picked Master Shapeshifter for the +4 to attributes.

Thanks for the help :)

If you're going for a Dex build you may want to look at Shifter's Edge. I would personally not take Dodge unless you're interested in the featline. But the were shifter doesn't get any normal minor aspects. I've not played Wereshifter myself, but there's people here that played it.

If you want to take Toughness, then I'd delay that till you have a few levels under your belt. I honestly have never taken it due to how featstarved most classes are. It's not a very potent feat.

The first three feats you mentioned are kinda meh. Multi attack is nice if you have a lot of extra types of attacks like bites, wings, tail etc. I think the weretouched get bite attacks. However all attacks should be primary attacks unless you activate Shifter's Fury, which I would not do early on. Losing AB for an extra attack is harmful early.

Weretouched lacking extra combat feats. You don't need more than 8 levels of Weretouched, because tiger gets pounce at 8, and you get shifter's fury at 6 to clone Bite.

Going mutation warrior for 12 levels then is logical choice, as you could already see yourself. Mutagen is always nice, you also get feral mutagen + feral wings.

Good combat feats are:

Power Attack for Mythic Power Attack.
Improved Initiative for Mythic Improved Initiative.
Shifter's Multiattack.
Outflank (since you are melee)
Weapon Specialization (Bite) (mutation warrior feat) for Mythic Weapon Specialization (you will only crit on 19-20, which is never - your only power is raw damage)
Shake it Off
Dazzling Display + Shatter Defenses (still good despite the nerf, since you have huge number of attacks)
