Has anyone made or compiled a list of the 'best' wild shapes at each level for a druid? Heck, even the possible wild shapes for a druid at each level would be nice.
I asked this question a few months ago, but alas there was nobody who'd created such a list. The general answer seemed to be that there wasn't a 'best' shape, but that if you wanted a high AC companion, go for a lower level one all the way through higher levels, while if you wanted a damage dealer, go for the highest level one you can obtain.
Have a boo at this thread over at WoTC - Character optimization... but take it with a grain of salt... and talk with your DM, before you try some of his (the author) stuff.
