How do you use the spell shapeshange?

Post by Hannwaas »

Just curious, do you use the lvl 9 spell shapechange? And in that case how (which forms are the best)? I like the mind flayer a lot, but those elementals, are they any good?

My vote goes to Mind Flayer and Golem . You can psi blast your opponent and shape change to Golem and crash his head . If you consider the magical immunities of a Golem
it may be useful against a lich or a powerful mage . Mind Flayer's brain sucking punches can kill a 200 hp warrior in 3 hits.(if you can survive )
Other shapeshange possibilities are not very satisfactory methinks.

Thought I should mention the enormous regeneration speed on the werewolf and trollshape.

Blast them as a mindflayer, crush them as an irongolem and heal yourself as a greater werewolf. The shapes are unfortunatly not very balanced against eachother so usually it's just a matter of these three shapes. Some of the larger shapes have a tendency to get stuck in doorways and corridors though.
