#4144, "Air Offense Shifters (shapefocus)"


          


Air-Offense shifter seems to be a common choice for obvious reasons. Do most people take offense as their major and air as minor? I've not tried either yet, and wondering what is best of the two for major/minor.

Are the greater enlivens you get as an air major nice to have as an offense minor? Seems like the offense greater enlivens are going to be useful regardless. Tradeoffs?

The helpfile is very vague and I haven't noticed this greater enliven do anything for me thus far, but mostly been using the others.

When you are on the ground (and in form) your where reflects what you would see if you were in the sky above that area.

So for example if you are in market square of galadon you can see people on the outskirts of galadon.

Usually I'd suggest going air first. There are benefits to being an air major, being able to fly into and out of more places than an air minor.

That was information I didn't know and I don't recall being mentioned in the helpfile.

I'm not sure this is correct with respect to final forms... but I want to say there is something along the lines of, your third form doesn't have fly restrictions worse than a second form even if it normally should?

after creating explore exp and the associated bonus mv air forms were never rebalanced to account for the fact everyone has a lot more MV. Running out of Mv is so hard to do that it is almost a non issue any more.


Though my dream update would be to make fly have a chance to fail in pk adrenaline and a significant chance to fail in the middle of a fight. Just being able to search out kills and chase with flyto is tons of mobility advantage, the additional almost risk free get out of jail free card could be toned down and still leave the combo as highly viable.

And air forms have lost quite a bit of deadliness over the years, although they have gained in utility.
