Shapeshift
Using a skill that is not compatible with your Shapeshifted form will automatically Shapeshift you back to human form.
Shapeshifting skills transforms your character into a different form.
Mechanics
Shapeshifting is typically enabled by equipping a talisman. When equipped, players can select one of three forms: Bear, Werewolf, or Wyvern. Bear and Werewolf are available at any character level; Wyvern requires reaching character level 6 (skill gem Tier 3). The chosen form determines which default attack is granted and can be changed freely; it does not affect the ability to shapeshift into other forms using shapeshift skills. When using a shapeshift skill, the character will automatically transform into the corresponding form, and will transform out of it when using a skill incompatible with the form (e.g. a spell). Triggered skills and persistent skills do not end a shapeshift.
Each form grants certain inherent bonuses:
| Form | Skill archetype | Bonuses | Default attack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bear | Uses slams and fire attacks |
|
Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Maul" |
| Werewolf | Uses cold attacks, mark skills, and summons wolf pack minions |
|
Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Shred" |
| Wyvern | Uses ranged fire and lightning attacks |
|
Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Rend" |
While in Werewolf form, moving continuously for approximately 1 second or using sprint will cause the character to drop onto all four legs. Doing so grants 30% increased movement speed while not sprinting, even while stationary. Using any Werewolf skill will cause you to go onto two legs.
