Looking on building a cool wildshaper

[williamoak]

Hello folks,

So, I feel like trying to make a wildshaping-themed druid. I've been wondering how to best do this. High strength, moderate wis, decent con, and low-ish everything else.
Race-wise, my best option seems to be half-orc; generally a good "tough guy" class, and GREAT favored class bonus (+1/3 NA per level while wildshaping).
Archetype-wise, I'm quite unsure what to take. The various "shaman" archetypes are interesting, though they limit you to specific shapes to get the full advantage. The terrain druid archetypes all diminish wildshape. None others seem to boost wildshape though some (like Nature Fang & Feral Shifter).

I'M mainly looking for archetype advice. I dont know what would be best.

Anyway, hoping for some interesting advice.

-I'm generally a fan of the Mooncaller. That said, none of its abilities are Wild Shape oriented and it doesn't stack with the Shaman archetypes.

Shamans can be very good or very bad, and I think it depends on your campaign's levels. Saurian would be my first look, because dinosaurs give you a pretty wide range of abilities and stay relevant for a long time, but eventually they will drop off. If your game is going to end at level 12 or so (PFS included), then I would definitely make use of the Saurian Shaman. If it's going to go higher that might be a bad idea.
