this post is for discuss the role of the bm in general and the human form in particular.
When I choose the bm i was expecting for a transform class a flexibility in use in exchange of being a hard to use class. in other word, we can be a good tank, a good dps, a self-healer, but the sacrifice will be the dificult to dominate all modes.
the selfheal skills are ok and the tank mode is fine too, but there are 4 good tank classes ._., we can discuss all day if bm are better tank than monk/warrior or warrior/monk are better than us, but this is not the point,
I read the post on this forum and we focus only in tank/offtank mode, if i want to be all day in grizzly form, I was make me a knight, but as a transform class, we should use grizzly/bear/tiger/ human in the same battle, and here is where the human form can make a difference.
our weak poins is the dps side, with a little change in an useless human form we can reach a balance without being an op class.
now I see the human form have 2 benefits: 1 lower animations skills (apparently) and a lower size (usefull only in pvp) but if we can add here something like the +30% atk of the bear form our gameplay can cange drastically without adding new skills.
I was thinking something like an agi/eva or spdatk benefit and a debuff like a chance of reduce oponent def(20/30% maybe (?) ) for 15/20 sec when we hit him.
with this, we can reach a decent dps for 15/20 sec when the enemy get debuffed and we swith to bear form. and how loved could be this debuff in a phisical party (and if we add a mdef reducction too it will we usefull in all type of parties).
I wanna hear opinions and sugestions about this, i am in lvl 44 . So maybe im wrong in some point my intention is not to make the bm an op class, but yes take it out of the "tank" class, and make it a flexible class
tnks and sorry again for my bad english
