will it be good to go lion so im not "paper"?
For defense purposes I agree with Xenon, rat is better. Rat does agi and dex, and then on the third form you lose str not int. So with the the agi uping your defense you can use the points that you would use for dex and int into sta.
Lion has a nice aoe root though, but since wizzies already have 3-4 roots it is a bit redundent except in extreme situations.
