After i got my first demihood I decided to reincarnate, so I need some help to make up my mind, can you help me? My focus is Hells and Abyss. Can you post shape combinations and why you like them for these areas? This is how I currently see the highest synergy shape combinations:
Battle oriented shifter: Wild 3/Humanoid 3/Dragon 0-1 - Physical attack focused build with dragon shape to use in a pintch.
Humanoid 3/ (Undead 0-3) - Ranger CC shifter, not caring about CL (well I'm Shifter cc)
Mixed shifter: Wild 3/ Outsider 3 /Construct 3 - Monk-spalsh - great cover of elementals and unique utility - My current favorite option Wild 3/ Humanoid 3 /Other 3 - BAB 16 - Loses some CL to have some very nice tank options - hard to pull off (it's a nightmare to balance skills, saves and ab).
Caster/Ability based shifter: Wild 3/ Ousider 3/ Undead 3 - Very flexible kit with few area damage options but good single target damage options - My current kit Wild 3/ Dragon 3/ Undead 3 - Nice mix of damage and utility (it's basically like an arcane)

Construct shape is pretty much mandatory these days if you follow the dc route; dragon/undead are more suited for Ely, outsiders for Abo.
In Abyss there're too many healers to focus on malee shapes; outsider and dragon are nice aoe spammers there.
That being said, nobody likes fat dragons.

Battle oriented shifters tend to go for humanoid and undead; primarily undead gives some pretty intense features like Risen Lord Kill-on-hit (and two-handed Scythe STR tank) and Vampire GS. There's also some extra stuff like the boost abilities. Bear in mind this still works for shifter cc (I had this initially until I reshuffled very recently). Additionally.. it's arguable whether I would take LWF, you're going to score in the high 90's and low 100's for the humanoid shapes in any case without it, and with it you can't get enough LFF to boost the shapes sufficiently. A bonus with the shifter based forms is Legendary defence and paragon defence when paragon comes into play.
