Nature's Bond for At Will Pathfinder Wildshape

[Phasics]

Would this be a fair trade ?

Simply put you lose Nature's Bond (ala Animal Companion) and instead gain At Will Wild shaping at 4th level. Everything else as written.

I wouldn't mind wild shape at will at all. The pathfinder version is nerfed in such a way it's mostly utility now. In order to be viable in combat you need to buff yourself by so many spells that combat is over by the time your AC and attack bonus reach high enough values to enter melee.

As a lvl 6 druid all I prefer flying around as a 60ft movement air elemental summoning critters and blasting enemies with lightning. The damage and utility I put out that way is vastly superior to any meager combat animal I could turn into. If you do choose to do so, you will be a pisspoor fighter who will die in notime.

sigh there goes my druid, well aside for my animal companion which I would give up to get back a decent wildshape >.>
