Fury questions from a newb

[_Kryogeni]

<p>I just started on Antonia Bayle and I went through about 5-6 different race/class combos until I found that I like the Fury the best. I really dig the whole weild a sword while wearing a Robe thing. I know leather has higher mitigation, but a robe only takes up a chest slot, looks way cooler, covers up the mis matche armors, and I can wear leather on every other slot.</p><p>Anyway, I was wondering how I should specc myself. I haven't gotten any AA points to spend yet, but I was looking at the trees and I'm pretty lost as to what to choose first and what to choose at all.</p><p>Is the shapeshifting form worth it? It sounds cool, but I think it says we get to choose between 3 forms? WHat are the forms? Do they all give the same benefits and are just cosmetically different or does each form give different benefits?</p><p>Finally, I've been soloing abunch because I don't know anyone and it seems hard to get into a guild. I don't want to solo, but as of right now it's my only option. If/when I find a good group of people to run with, I'd like to balance my offensive and healing skills and still be able to solo if I can't find a group.</p><p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>

soloing - you will need mitigation..yeah you will look like you're wearing offcuts from Joseph's technicolor dreamcoat but you may want to re-consider the whole robe thing. Yes you will probably want shapeshifting if only that to get into the druid tree you have to take it. All three forms are different (wolf, tiger, treant) and each gives a different bonus to casting, melee and healing respectively. As for AA advice, there are tons and tons of threads on this board regarding that and responded to by more experience/knowledgeable furies than me so check them out using search. AB (I happen to be on that server too) is a good mature server with loads of real quality guilds. Saying that, soloing is good as a fury if you pick your fights well.
