Where this comes from

  • Forms and what each gives: the ShapeShiftForms table. Stats the game shows no text for (turning speed, push strength) are left out.
  • A skill belongs to the form its ActiveSkills row names; the Talisman requirement is the skill's weapon requirement.
  • Damage is attack damage as % of base, speed is attack speed as % of base, read for gem level 1, 10 and 20.
