Not the part about getting destroyed by a pachyderm though.


At the end of the day most final air forms fight very similar to third tier utility forms with like 10% more damage. If you let the fight devolve into straight melee they have a decent chance of beating you but if you turn and fight with direct damage/maledict most air forms won't win that fight (thats why they tend to flyto;shift something else).

Now there will always be cases where this isn't true. Some classes will struggle to outmelee the air form (thieves come to mind) and other times they might just have too much HP for you to burn through (2K hp with ABS is just a tough nut to crack unless you can pump out a lot of damage). But in general you won't see many 2k hp scion shifters running around at any given time and without leader nightwalkers they aren't nearly as devastating.
