As a shifter, whatever your race is, you'll never know what forms you'll get in a certain focus unless you have an imm source or something. As a conjie, you'll never know what fam you'll get bla bla.. But as a warrior, spin will still be spin, chop will still be chop and cranial will bla bla. You'll know that spin is a rocking skill, you'll know exactly when you'll get it, and you'll know your giant will dodge like ####, spin or not. That's pretty linear in my book.

Any thoughts on how to break the monotony other than doing something like a felar sword spec or elven axe spec that address people with 'dude'?
