When does the Druids Wild Shape ability become powerfull? I've read everywhere about how powerfull the druid is with his/her wild-shape ability, but is that at lvl.20 or from when is it powerfull?

It is very useful in level 5 when you get it, but even more so in level 6 when the Druid takes the Natural Spell feat.

It's largely about choosing the correct forms too. Other people (or the Wizards.com CO boards) can give you suggestions for those.

its really not that hard, just look up the animal shapes availeble and see if you cant find something with some decent ability scores.

It's always powerful, even if you're just using Core. It lasts for hours, and Natural Spell lets you cast spells while Wildshaped. Plus Dinosaurs and Dire animals count as animals, so there's always multiple useful forms available to you.

And if you're using supplements, you can take Aberration Wild Shape, Corrupted Wild Shape, Exalted Wild Shape, Extra Wild Shape, Fast Wild Shape, Frozen Wild Shape, Vermin Wild Shape, and/or any of the various Prestige Classes that allow you to abuse it.

Like Polymorph, only mature players should use Wild Shape. It's so easy to abuse that you really need to hold yourself back, or play in a party made up entirely of optimized builds. Otherwise, you will quickly outshine everyone else, and potentially break your game.
