Do you all think it is worth leveling up true form past level 1? As you gain the levels your attack power is decreaced but hp is increaced so is the added hp worth the decreaced damage? Im tank build btw

    Worth it 100%. Back when I was lvl 40-55ish I used to think it wasnt worth it. But, it adds a ton of speed, and hp. Perfect for the pure tank build. Also, it only decreases "50% weapon damage" not total damage.

    Example:
    You hit 1000 in humanoid average. With level 3 true form you will NOT deal 500damage average.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    Exactly as a tank you need all the HP you can get. In tigerform you have posion fang which almost makes up for the lost damage. You damage is only reduced about 25-30% with maxed trueform.
    When the going gets tough; Get a tank!

    You can use poison fang in human form too though...you only need to cast it in tiger.

    Still, the HP+speed you get easily makes up for all the damage you lose.

    Honestly I'll agree to some extent going to True Form lvl 2 is good idea... Don't bother with 3 till you actually need it (I did it at lvl 76) which is when I needed the HP boost (Rebirth -Gamma's require it).

    yeah i leveled it to 2 now and as long i dont need the hp i will keep it the same only did because of the movement speed anyway got a mount now
    its impossible to always do the right thing we all make mistakes i am not different from that
    just try to be a good person

    english isn't my native language so there might be a few spelling/grammatical errors in my posts

    The speed boost is nice, and you will need to lvl later with HH, and rebirth.

    Using Titans Strength and Poison Fang I don't notice a drop in my attack power really.
    Spam skills, they don't cost a lot of MP anyways and a level 40-50 pot fills me halfway up so you should be good.
