Does anyone knows if twf and thf works in bear or wolf form??? Do you get more attacks with thf or do you get glancing blows with thf???
Ex. if you take the THF feats do they help???
there is a feat called natural fighting or something like that. it works in animal forms. i think it grants doublestrike.
Neither THF or TWF work in animal forms. They will both work if you are in an elemental form as those use your actual weapons.
Instead wolf form has an innate 30% attack speed increase over sword + board. This is supplemented by double-attack from feats.
Natural fighting is available to any character with 9 or more druid levels. It may be stacked 3 times granting 6% double-attack per feat. Shield mastery and improved shield mastery feats also provide more doublestrike that does work in form as well (provided you have a shield equipped).
One sidebar: I made a HE monk / druid on Lami who focused on wolf form and I was able to use my monk stances, strikes, and Stunning Fist while shape-shifted. For some reason I always got a laugh outta "punching" someone senseless as a wolf.![]()

IIRC, she was a HE (rogue dilly) monk 2 / druid 5 when the latest beta ended. Base stats were something like 14 / 15 / 14 / 10 / 16 / 8 with lvl-ups going into WIS. Feats: TWF, Stunning Fist, Toughness, Augment Summoning, and Empower. Didn't really have a plan, I was just messing around, but I think my goal was WIS-based caster + unarmed TWF in elemental form. No clue if she would've been any good if / when I got her to endgame.

ok question - we've established that TWF and THF don't work in animal form, yet shield feats seem to, at least as far as doublestrike is concerned. OK fine. That's the world as it actually is.
But what's important this soon after a release is how should the world be at this point - i.e. do we have an actual official answer on whether shield feats, TWF and THF should work?
It's this sort of thing which is why I created a placeholder character to reserve my name for druid months ago, but fully intended not to bother rolling one up or trying a build until all this stuff is ironed out. Artificer seemed reasonably settled when it was launched and doesn't appear to have been nerfed or buffed significanly since (Deadly Weapons being the only major exception I can think of). Druid.... from what I'm hearing with all these uncertainties on what is a very old class indeed, just doesn't seem finished.
