But shapeshift is only a bonus action for Moon druids; for Land Druids, it is a full action, and basically why shapeshifting is never used as a Land druid, because wasting a turn to transform into a 20 HP weak shapeshift (even moon druid's polar bear at 30 HP is pathetically weak due to the low AC like all the forms) that promptly gets taken out in a single turn as most enemy take actions that do 12-25 damage means you've wasted a turn, and in the case of Land Druids it's lethal, because as it happened to my Druid, with the low form AC, the Ogre landed a crit and sent my Druid straight to death status, whereas if he simply had stayed in humanoid form with 19-21 AC or 30 AC with mirror images up, that would have never happened.
I've used shapeshifting plenty as a land druid. The spider can cast web as an ability, so it doesn't require concentration and therefore works great in combination with druidic aoe spells that do. Shapeshift being a full action meant my druid could shift & cast web as bonus action in the same turn. The other form I've used was the rothe, on the occassions where the party found themselves suddenly in melee (e. g. arcanist tower, I chose the wrong conversation option by mistake). The other two shapes weren't that useful, though. So I'd like for the land druid to get more spellcasting forms. But it worked for me as it is.
Though the moon's raven is for mobility than misty step, since it uses up very little movement points when flying. I think there might be a bug involved, since sometimes it didn't use any, same as the raven familiar.
