A bit of an unorthodox playstyle question regarding Beorning builds.


I really don't want to play as a bear.


"Well then why are you playing a Beorning?"


Because I really like the idea of a DW class, (I don't like, and won't use, 2H... just a preference thing in any MMO), that wears heavy armor, and can heal himself or others... the travel speed increase of Wanderlust is a bonus, even if it does have to be in bear form, lol.


Yes, aside from the heal & and fast travel, (somewhat negated by mounts), that's essentially a Champion. True, but it's the healing for survivability that factors in greatly, plus the ability to fulfill all 3 roles to one extent or another that put Beorning > Champion to me.


So... for solo, overland/questing, can you recommend a build/tree that requires the least usage of bear form, (if there is such a thing), please?


For grouping ya do what da group needs. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." So, I'll "bear it when necessary for the group." UGH... that even made me vomit a bit, lol.


Thank you.
