I do not wish the shifters to have all the pros of a warrior. but I want them to be able to stand up to a decent warrior when they themselves have a/b/s....
And that they can be of use in a group when learning.. Like most classes are.. And as a shifter you can at some times feel pretty useless.. even at high ranks... I just dont feel it adds up..

And I have attempted many things with the forms I have been given over the years I have played. Some work better than others.
And the bobcat was just my example of a form that I never got to use well...
Just the eye of the beholder...
