You get 4 Major focus forms, tiers 1(you get the form at levels 15-17),2(at levels 22-24),3(at levels 29-31) and 4( at levels 42-44); and 2 minor focus forms, tiers 3(at levels 35-37) and 4(at levels 47-50). Your forms are randomly chosen from large pools, but each tier has a different pool. You also cannot get a same form twice if you choose same focus as minor and major.


I advice you to choose utility as major. It has fairly good damage output and fairly good defense. Utility also offers some nice perks with its forms, such as forage, hide, camouflage and minimal movement cost. Offense has very good offense(Hits harder and more often than most of other things) and poor defense while defense forms are among the best tanks of the game with poor offensive output. Water forms have terrifying damage output and good defense(but cannot leave water) and air forms can fly high above the areas and travel quickly there. We have the forms listed in the class-formatted Skill Page in Dio's( www.qhcf.net ). We arranged them by tier and focus so the list should be easy to read. Just say if there's something unclear in the way things are represented there.

Utility is probably your best bet against mobs. I think utility/defense could be a good combo for land-based exploration as offense forms can't take blows very well. Utility/air could also work, as utility can work alone in exploration fairly well. Many utility forms are also fast runners.

As for forms, they are not very good at sealing the deal since their fighting methods are fairly predictable and most forms don't have any lagging attacks.

And yes, you can deal damage without offense, offense just deals a ton of damage. Generally it means that offense forms have more attacks, the attacks do more damage and such. Pick utility as major.

Edit: Additional tip: You should gear your shapeshifter for hp, since perks like damage roll from gear or stat bonuses won't carry over to the form, but hp, mana and moves will.
