First of all, let me point out that forms are not that great now days. Offensive forms cannot even take a decent warrior now days. Doesn't stand a chance against a rager. Airform, yeah they are annoying, but that is about it. Most classes can defeat them. Water is ok...but has limits. Defensive forms are the nicest I think.
Arcane: I would take away all forms for them. They be pure magic. Duo...yes....keep hold the same. It is too dam powerful otherwise. Maybe if you improve its chance of hitting, give it a random ass duration. Like 1-5 hours, the lower ones being more comman. That way, they muter never really knows how long the target is out for. I would give them back their sprays those for offensive powers. Their offensive powers needs to come from magic. Sprays were pretty damn cool in my option. Not over powered. The duration of their spells should be doubled also. Change duo so they can where.
Shifters: I would give them a medium forms in their major. I would lower shapeshift to 20 and they get their first form at about 20-25. Medium at 26-34, second medium at 35-40, and major at 41-45. First of all, it is kinda lame to wait till level 50 to get your offensive form and to have it get wailed on by warriors. And second, a conjurer gets a pretty powerful ass pet at level 20. Most elementals could be the hell out of all the minor forms. All their spells they get can only be cast on them though. No more hasting or slowing your group. Only arcanes can do that. A fair trade off for more forms. Also, make the forms kinda stay with the same theme. I do not like how if you get wolf...you get a ram. I think you focus on a certain animal group. I.E. cat. Start with a little kitten then cat then panther, next big ass sharp fanged tiger of doom. Something like that.
Anyways my thoughts...it is a ruff idea and all the powers are quickly thought up. Basically my idea is arcanes need to be magic focus. Shifters should be pure form in one animal class.
