Form of the Great Bear

[ChaosSlayer]

Actually it was only a polar bear to the barbarian race, i believe troll iksar and ogre all have a brown bear(maybe troll n ogre was a black bear)

But i believe the type of bear is dependent on the race.


EDIT: Im actually positive the type of bear is dependent on race, i played an iksar shaman for 5years on live....

call me the shaman expert if you will

there is no refrence in spell file about the texture type for different race, unless the hard coded that into source doe (I really hate when they do that!!!). But I could tets this game.

I honestly believe thats what it is, my iksar was a black bear i think on live, (now ur trying to make me remember!) but i never ever used bear form due to it being pointless. but im willing to bet 1k plat on this theory of it being race based

casters forms: easy

mages elemental forms fairly useless: you give them effects like increases mana regen, spell damage focus, spell critical focus etc, based on the form.
Wizards - could turn into drakes for example.

There is actually a set of TSS mage AAs (Elemental Core line) that had VERY good benefits that i could give you if you wanted to apply them to the Elemental Form line On Live these were separate AAs that added a buff to you for about 3 minutes with a 120 minute reuse (kinda short duration and long reuse lol) and had no illusion. The Elemental Form line was a separate AA (but was required to be maxed before you could buy these). On here you could apply the benefits to their illusions and change the illusion's duration and reuse timers if you do desire

what i was thinking with bear and wolf form is to give them a short duration group buff ( like a 5% proc rate of a 12 second group buff that enhances melee/spell damage by like 5%), or in case of wolf form maybe overhaste or a group debuff proc or something like that.

on a side note what jeido said about project illusion is a wonderfull idea to give enchanters some great utility since you can only have one illusion at a time (could tag all kinds of benefits to diff illusions from casting overhaste to hate gain)
