New to Shaman need some help

[Cen]

Remember: there's only one race of shaman who gets a racial that can't be duplicated in the game... BY ANY OTHER SHAMAN OR ANY OTHER CLASS EITHER EVEN IF IT IS AN OGRE

Polar Bear Form
There is only one Polar bear form casting class in the game.
With guise in the game, you have two unique shaman forms.
Also you get a kilt, so you can run around with it swinging around.

Is that even much of a factor? Theres always gonna be 10 porters sitting at hammer hill to take you wherever you want to go. Mild inconvenience at worst.

I recently played a Barbarian to his teens and I loved being night blind but once I got serpent sight the effect was ruined and I switched races. You do get a neat polar bear cap at lower levels and easy access to leveling quests. I'm currently loving troll regen at level 17 but I'm spending a ton of time fixing faction in the good cities. Good thing I enjoy doing faction work. Forget Blue by the way, try Teal or Green. Still time to get a guise. I'd remark about Iksars but the only thing I know about Kunark is that it's a dangerous place and the elves are trying to start a port there but that info came from a very drunk captain in Qeynos. Hmm, I wonder if Kunark really exists...
