Beast magic sucks.

At the moment.
I have no doubt that they're just placeholders for a more refined version of this spell tree. Hopefully it doesn't turn you into a level 1 panther/wyvern with worse stats than your human self, like how it does now

what would you like to see come into this magic school? more shapeshifts? better animations? lets hear it

Dragon transformation shall be great. But really dragon, not weak creatures, which unable to breath fire/ice, as of now. Moreover, in SP shapeshifting isn`t working completely.

Lowered cost on non flying forms, have more forms that give the gathering bonuses of the beast as if it was a mount, should give a boost to attack while in form (no reason to use any forms if it is worse than your base attacks). As it stands now neither form is really worth the cost/durabilty.

I use wyvern form very often just to get from point A-B. During Darkness events it is the fastest and most mobile solution to go Wraith/Skeleton hunting.

Sure i could use my Nidhog for that, but...

If i get stuck in an EA glitch/bug then i can recall.
If i get overwhelmed then it is only me dying and not my tame
If i land somewhere on a ledge to take advantage of height, and drop down then i needent spend 5 minutes trying to call my flier
My wyvern form will never bug and end up way in the sky making it almost impossible to get back down. Sometimes fliers do that and you need a second flier to get up there and call it down
My beast form never gets lost and i needent search for it across the map

Bottomline: Shapeshifting in my opinion for the time being is a taxi from. no more no less. Everything they add will be a bonus.

Sometimes it allows the raw meat in your inventory to autofill your stomach.. other times it does not allow the raw meat to fill your stomach while in a shapshifted form.. wish it was a bit more consistant.

I hope that in the future the level of the pet shall be your own level rather then level 1. Like: if you shapeshift into panther form at level 30 do you become a level 30 panther, if you shapeshift at level 60 do you become a level 60 panther. Ascended versions(or whatever this game calls it) of the spell give bonus levels, like an uncommon deathstalker spell could give 10 bonus levels, you become a level 70 panther at level 60 then.

I really love this type of spells, I would love to see more forms. A low level form like boar form or maybe spider form and some end high level forms like bahamut, banshee or even frost dragon.

Panter form is ok if u Need alot of meat really fast

[D-D-D-DancingIsForbidden]

The level of the creature we transform into should be based on our stats we level up: FOR EXAMPLE: If I wanted to truly utilize these spells to full effect during vanilla release, they should boost my damage stam and health for those forms, ALL FORMS (to a varrying degree depending on the spell level) based on my leveed up base stats in those same areas(health stam and damage).

Example, if I have 200% health, 250% damage and say 200% stam, I should be a higher level creature overall than if I had 190% health, 200% damage, 150% stam........ This would force ppl to level their stats a certain specific way if they wanted to play the "transformation class" so to speak, and make it more a more interesting mechanic in the game that makes a player level their stats a specific way if they really want to use this spell area to full effect.

the wyvren form for me stinks cause for it so random everytime you use it with stats most time cant move cause of such low weight in form even with empty inventory im almost encumbered just from aromor and weps. and then with panther too you starve to death in secs sometimes.
right there just for running around fast when naked but cant fight or gather anything you be to fat.
