    [​IMG] I just cannot decide what to choose. Both Cleric and Druid spells are awesome, and with R/C you get both. The Druids HLAs however, is better than the Clerics. I was thinking of playing a Dualed F/C or F/D, though with the Shapeshifter, you get a Druid with good fighting capabilities. Ah, it's one big mess wanting a fighter/diviner...

    Anyone got a tip or fact that'll help me pick one?

    Well, the Druid Shapeshifter kit is a very good kit, but then again, I am still not very sure of its capabilities. The Shapeshifter attacks are kinda useless when a certain creature needs magical attacks I think.

    But I would wish to take a R/C instead, a much more cooler class then a druid, IMHO.

    [​IMG] Isnt is much more fun to wreak carnage with a big were-monster than a puny human?
    You need no weapons, you need no armor, no shields, nothing... you can just charge and tear little monsters apart like cheese.
    And if anyone incidentaly hurts you, doesnt matter... while you rake him some more, your wounds regenerate in a matter of seconds.

    Uber!

    Not exactly. Even the Greater Werewolf Form is isn't much compared to what devastation the Shafeshifter can do casting spells.
    Maybe if you have the Improved Greater Werewolf/Werewolf form mod, then you'd consider the Shapeshifter as a backup fighter. But then you can also download the Totemic Druid Summons Mod and they'll own pretty much everything. (Just about everything about Druids are surprisingly buggy)

    But the fact is he ain't no Greater Wolfwere - he'll die more easily compared to a Mage roaming around with Shapechange and Greater Wolfwere form.
    The Shapeshifter also loses much use in later levels when Druids can choose to Shapechange into Elementals at wish.

    Shapeshifters aren't exactly Druids with good fighters capabilities - they're Druids who can fight, at the expense of magical capabilities.
    Their skills are very useful early on, but its just that later Druids will have so much more spell slots than necessary.
