If you want to turn into a wolf or a bear, that should be as mechanically effective throughout your career as a druid.Wildshaping will only be successful for me if it meets these tests:1. everything is in the PHB.2. changing into a given form (e.g. wolf) at level 5, 10, and 15 will be (roughly) as effective as other shapes at those levels.3. there is a range of creatures (wolf, bear, spider, something swimmy (croc?), something flying (giant eagle?), one or two more) -- while still possibly allowing "or a CR x beast from the Monster Manual" (to prevent power creep with subsequent books).</blockquote>
