I commented on it while playing Alidove(fortress hyena/falcon). THere were 2-3 plus 47 orcs, including a chief during my playtimes. (which is rare, yes).
ABS for everyfight, but regardless, I could land in the middle of the village and systematically erradicate everything in site. Fighting a chief and a level 48 orc, with the chief's hoard, I killed one and made the other quaff. (Without going below 80%)
Even when the orcs would hide, I could unshift, walk around fogging, eat 4-5 rounds of damage unshifted, and then shift back and kill them.
Check the goodbyes on Alidove as I can't recall specific names. They were also using preps for some fights and commented on it.
It was sick.
I can't comment since new changes went in for shifters, but this was pre-change hyena doing all of this.
They are great though gaisnt newbies or imbeciles like in the above shifter log.
Dwoggurd is right.
