Is there a chance that the astral form won’t change the color of the transmog. the balance druid is the class that cannot have transmog in combat. Please change this.
That’s basically what the whole class has always been about… You’re basically complaining about druids being shapeshifters. Surely you must be kidding.
Don’t like it ? Play something else.

Imagine complaining about shadow form from priest being to dark…

Dont have any smart to talk, dont talk.
Big agree. It should be a choice. I’d rather have more customisation options that makes me identifiable as a druid like small antlers, or wings like Malfurion. I don’t know why bear/cat form gets cool customisations, but moonkin form doesn’t. I don’t like being a chicken, and I don’t like the astral form. But I deal with it anyway because I like the spec. I hope they give us more options going forward.

Resto doesn’t need to be a tree anymore and doesn’t need to be yellow, green or some dumb thing.
There isn’t a reason to have glyph of stars anymore, back in the day it was mostly used because pvp needed to see who’s the druid healer and not…
Lore wise, it’s not a thing afaik
I like glyph of stars and dislike it, looks cool but ruins cool transmog, especially if wearing red.
That’s funny because no other class needs to ruin their transmog in order to show their ennemies that they’re able to deal damage. Why aren’t shamans stuck into a permanent elemental form? Why aren’t paladins stuck into a light form that makes them all yellow and transparent? That’s because we don’t actually need these.
Not to mention, the additional GCD everytime we must access these spells. Remove forms. Yes, all of them. Make them optional like treant form, people can still use them if they want to. Make them active during certain abilities (prowl, tiger’s fury, berserk…). It is time we actually get to use our transmog.
I know, but back in the day elemental Shamans were stuck in lightning shield, but it was removed.
So I don’t see a reason why a balance should have Astral form now
You can use your transmog, when not in combat.
The whole point of druids is shapeshifting.
By removing shapeshifting your just completely ignoring all the lore behind it.

Druid cannot see transmog when not in combat.
The reason is that all druid utilities are against transmog.
- When you fight you’re in a form;
- When you walk (indoor) you’re in cat form, because nobody is so stupid to walk at 100% speed when you can do it at 130%;
- Mounts no more: I like the insane utility of travel form being mounts but… I would accept to have the old travel form and a reduced speed for flight form. This is because I like collecting mounts, and why would you collect if not using them? I never cast a 1.5 sec mount when I play my druid.
- Want to be excited about your fantastic Scythe of Elune? You can’t because your anyway a chicken or if you aren’t a chicken they all look blue and, if you didn’t notice, when they’re they look all the same… so no artifact weapon.
So basically you can never look at yourself.
The druid, in my opinion, is the most beautiful class in the game (since the warlock is a concrete block at least) but the appeareance makes me feel unsatisfied.

False. You don’t have a shapeshift form as Resto. How would it ruin the lore? Malfurion is a jack of all trades, and doesn’t need to be a big dumb owl. Why does it matter if we get more choice? we aren’t saying remove owl form, or the glyph, but give us MORE options to enjoy and to differentiate us between different classes like antlers, wings etc without being a stupid chicken where you can’t see our transmog.
Why are people so against more choice? It’s dumbfounding honestly.

Resto do have shapeshifting, but it’s not for the tree anymore, it’s to remove slows, roots and get out and around stuff faster.
Shapeshifting is very useful, even as a guardian druid, I shape shift between bear/cat/travel/human forms during combat depending on the situation.
Maybe i’m slowed, maybe I have to heal someone, maybe I need to run away fast.
Also each form gives bonus’s, so if you just bundle that into a basic passive for each spec ( you would have to, or druids would just die to everything and suck )
You remove the risk of having to shapeshift to do certain stuff.
As a tank you’d literally remove the risk of me dying mid pull, if I shapeshift into human to heal someone quick.
I like risk, it’s more fun, so yes I’m against changing it.
I don’t think anyone is arguing that you shouldn’t shapeshift anymore?
Point is that people don’t want to be stuck in astral form or moonkin form.

Point is, if they make shifting optional, you would be given your specs form stats in human form.
So you have no risk of dying as a tank if you shift to human or cat form, you’d still have the stamina and what not.
Same goes for balance druids.
Your also removing a global cooldown from the class which gives you more time to dps, which is a clear advantage over other classes.
What they can do, is add more glyphs into the game, that gives each form the appearance of your human form, so you still play as normal, but you’d always be seen as your human form.
^— That I would agree on to be fine, as it in no way hinders current game play, it’s purely cosmetic.
(Glyph of stars does that right now for balance druids, but it’s like an astral blueish form.
What are you even on about? you’re completely missing the point lmao.
The point of the thread is that balance druids have 2 options. Chicken or blue astral form. We want an option to have neither, and instead keep our original models with transmog, or more customisation options. No one is saying ‘‘take shapeshifting away’’ ??? It’s a purely cosmetic choices we want, like, not removing shapeshifting as a whole.

WoW has become a transmog hunting game, would be fun to use them.
I was refering to this post originally.
Glyphs to create more options is fine, I’d gladly welcome it, would be fun to sometimes tank as a tree

No other class needs to do this, so why would it be an advantage?
Why would druid specifically need to have an additional GCD everytime they want to do something? The non-permanence of these passive stats already is a disadvantage compared to others classes.
I might be okay with a system that just automatically shapeshifts you when you use certain abilities (while keeping the option to manually shapeshift). But then again, give me a “no form” option at the barbershop. Perhaps a “partial shapeshifting” option too, that would enable cat form visual during Prowl and Tiger’s Fury only? That would fit the shapeshifter theme perfectly.
I agree with ur post except for this:
So because you like mounts, you want all other druids to have reduced movement speed in travel form. That’s a bit weird to me. If you like mounts, just use ur mounts like everyone else does? Why penalize others?
I personally love travel form because of its reasons
