Shifter

[Projoker0]

i'm trying to build a shifter but i dont realy know much about them. Is the
extra ac you can get from a monk level worth the loss of haste? or am i
better off just going w/o a monk lvl at all. or go 5d/7s/8m so i get haste
abd the extra ac but lose the last form and a few spell levels.
