In the fox form, can I still use magics?

    as a veno you can use magic tree skills or fox tree skills, both need to have equiped a magic weapon, but if by magic ou mean ranged attack, no, fox is close combat, nuke is ranged

    All damage done in foxform is melee, even though you use a magic weapon. You'll have a number of "curse" skills that debuff the target, but do no direct damage (like amplify damage). They are short ranged (12m), but their neither reall mag attacks, nor really mellee.

    As for the humanoide scarab skills, they can't be used while in foxform. You'll have to change back to use them.

    there are more things to learn and use while in fox form than in humanoid. and both are worth learning, because they are all useful in different situations. presently, i am hunting sharks up by misfortune,with a turtle backup, and i prefer to use fox form for that, because i can use amp damage and leech on the sharks....for me, it makes the encounter shorter, and on to the next shark. for some mobs, though, i prefer long range attacks, even as far as my riding in the air, and sending my foxwing after the mob. it all comes down to what you are hunting, and what your preferences are. i know venos who havent even learned the basic shapechange, and are awesome, but for me, i love the freedom of running with my pet while in foxform.
