It could be a skill gem, a weaker type would be long-duration or pseudo-aura similar to tempest shield, short term would feel more powerful but last 10-20 secs, likely extended by kills, probably would need to have cooldown too. Sacred 2 - Dragon Mage's transformations are good only in early game. NwN (or DnD games in general) - Mostly not worth the bother, due to creatures not having high (or any) enchantment levels on their natural weapons. It's a nice idea, however shapeshifters are notoriously weak and badly implemented in most games. So issues with how player armor/weapons stats interact in the 'Shapeshifted' form.ДЄt the end of the day you can certainly see why it's just a lot easier to become a Necromancer but one can dream :D

The biggest problem now becomes a workload issue for the resident programmers, who would then need to go through full lists of skills for each monster which can be 'shapeshifted' and assigning them to specific keybinds, balance etc of the skills etc. (This would solve the animation issue since no new animations would need to be created) Player skills are removed/hidden and replaced with the attack skills of the NPC This Skill gem could then be used with support gems which would benefit the Transformed Skills/Attacks # The other possibility would just be a universal shapeshifting gem but how well that would work with PoE support gem mechanics becomes a real issue unless skills were programmed to ignore supports which were not valid with NPC skills. # This works much like the Range / Spell Totem skillgems and would probably be the ideal design to restrict support gems and prevent for example Melee Support Gems like Multistrike working with Caster spells. # There would have to be multiple 'Shapeshifting' Gems for example (lets say skill does dmg/debuff and on death of npc, player transforms into the killed NPC) (lets say normal NPC, but maybe Magic/Rare if penalty added) Shapeshifting Skill gem that transforms player into NPC The only possible workaround to this would be something like the following I know from talking with devs that this would be the biggest problem with any 'shapeshifting' ability/skill/item. (compared to the full range available to Player Classes/weapons) ~NPC Skill Animations are far more limited to specific attacks (Duelist / Marauder / Ranger / Shadow / Templar / Witch) ~Skill Gem Animations are created for every class/weapon I love the idea and would fully support seeing it in Path of Exile but there are a few key issues. Shapeshifted characters use front claws stated by one handed weapons and use bite attack stated from 2 handed weapons. There would be a keystone ability that says 'Shapeshifted form on low life instead of when above low life' For low life characters to pick up. Shapeshifted characters can only use shapeshifted skill gems, unless they're using a gem that's supported by the Wild Skill support gem. While shapeshifted, Gouge hits 2 additional nearby targets. Sample idea: Gauge, melee attack skill, Damage in addition to inflicting the Blind status ailment. Yes, there would be shape-shifted only gems, or at least skills that gain additional benefits or functions while shapeshifted.

There could be shape-shifted only skill gems, or support gems. Perhaps a self-only aura that is only active when you are above low-life. Shapeshifting would be a long term buff, similar to Molten Shell or an Aura. Perhaps there could be a new kind of equipment? No that wouldn't work. Shapeshifting would obviously be a skill gem, since the passive tree doesn't have any active skills.

I'm sitting mulling over ideas of how to do that in path of exile.
