The trick is trying to figure out what each sustained/Shapeshifter form does.

Each form has several unique abilities, so basically each Shapeshifter talent point is worth at least two spell talent points - the spider, for example, starts with Poison Spit and Web so you basically get a ranged nuke and an extra CC for one talent point. Transforming has a casting time (much like most sustaineds) but transforming back to human form is instant. They can become near-immortal with Rock Armor/Arcane Shield and dodge/evasion/spell resistance gear, able to reach ~40% evade and spell resistance just with Origins gear (DLC gear is a bit overkill) and unlike Blood Mage/x combos they can spam health poultices (which scale with spellpower, so each use almost fully heals you).Д«asically, the idea is that you want to treat the Shapeshifter forms as a special kind of sustained that you use to complement your 'blow stuff up and heal friends while I'm at it' playstyle. A Shapeshifter/Spirit Healer is basically a one-man-army who can spam Fireball/the cone spells (Shock/Cone of Cold/Flame Blast) and control the battlefield with AoE spells (Blizzard, Inferno, Tempest) while throwing out Force Fields, Heals and Group Heals. This makes them ideal nukers, and ideally suited to playing support when combined with Spirit Healer (damage and healing spells scale better with spellpower). If you want to play the specialization for flavor purposes you can definitely drop a few stat points in STR (for the spider), but spellpower gives you better returns in the long run (especially with form DEX/CON). Finally all forms are largely immune to physical effects like knockdown, so while other mages are busy getting mauled or being knocked around you can simply keep using special abilities or continue dealing damage.ДЄll Shapeshifter form stats scale with spellpower, so the idea is that you want your spellpower as high possible on a Shapeshifter. All shapeshifted form special abilities work on humanoids, regardless of rank - you can drop two Overwhelms (spider and bear forms) on Ser Cauthrien or Branka and watch your allies tear them apart and there'd be absolutely nothing they can do about it, for example. All shapeshifted form special abilities ignore spell resistance, for example, which makes them particularly useful in nightmare difficulty.

Some people like to play Shapeshifters for flavor, and there's nothing with that, but the point of playing a Shapeshifter is NOT so you can exchange spellcasting with auto-attacking while shapeshifted. It's actually pretty powerful, simply because it shines in situations where conventional spellcasting is simply not as viable.ДЄll the best Shapeshifters are nukers. It's definitely the most misunderstood specialization. This subreddit is RES Nightmode Compatible
