All while still able to maintain gl without being locked in place. If ur argueing about just using it for a second then there is no reason not to use form shift. As for ur idea with sss, sure why not, if its the very last thing u could possibly do...and why not u could tornado kick aswell right after sss, and if ur in a intermission then u could theoretically do a anatman... but by this point in time your perfect balance should be off cd and it allows u to get gl4 without loss of dps.

    But all this being said is if the fight doesnt have any adds coming out, if it does u effectivly cut urself off at the knee.
    Because Form Shift and Anatman work in tandem with each other. Take Eden Prime for example. During phase transition into add phase, I can get SSS and Tornado Kick in before the boss disappears and there's enough time in between to get into position for adds to spawn that Anatman will build up 4 GL stacks again. Not doing so would mean that I would lose out on a huge chuck of damage from Tornado Kick on the boss as I Form Shift myself over and over again just to maintain something that Anatman would build back up in time for the adds anyway. Then immediately after Eden uses her Ultimate, I can Anatman to regain 2 stacks of GL before she becomes targettable to attack at all since I can't form shift to maintain GL during the long animation of that attack and have to build it up anyway.

    Anatman has a very valid use in that fight because of that and form shift cannot replace that.
