Forms are Barbarian self-buffs with a relatively long duration that can be easily started during combat. Each buff starts with a weak effect and gradually strengthens until reaching full potential after one minute.

Forms have no initial start up cost but do reduce the passive IF regeneration level. They have a moderate pulsing IF cost.
