Just a reminder that all specs except Balance are going to loose access to Moonkin form in TWW. I find this an incredibly annoying and unnecessary decision. As Feral, I never used Moonkin form in fight (and I do not argue for Owlweaving to make a return) but I very often used it for fun.
Dancing with other Druids in raid while waiting, flying around as a chicken using the balloon toy or using Flap when jumping from heights. It was important enough for me to farm all the Moonkin appearances that I could get my hands on.
This is a small thing that, although it does not have any impact on power, was fun! I find it really sad that Blizz seems to care so little for such nice little gimmicks. Suddenly having forms not accessible to some Druid specs really takes away from the āclass fantasyā.
Please let us keep Moonkin form in the same way we still have the Treant form. Just as a cosmetic without powers tied to it (well, except Flap). All the bonuses from Moonkin form can happily be moved to the corresponding Balance talent.
Moonkin Form should just be baseline. Youāre rarely going to use it anyway as Feral and Guardian unless thereās downtime where you canāt do anything in melee range.
There was zero reason to remove it from Feral/Guardian, as it contributed nothing to any effective DPS/Defense. So I only assume it was done to remove (clutter) and make it so that new players donāt get overwhelmed by optional choices.
Now however, because Moonkin was removed. Iām missing the Astral Form, which I loved to wear for Transmog reasons. Not to mention losing āFlapā, which is still in my skillbook but wonāt allow me to survive falls or float around like a ghost hoovering over the ground.
I canāt see any possible use in an actual combat scenario. In PvP battlegrounds I would mount up in Moonkin form so I would get a little less damage from being ganked while traveling between objectives, due to the armor buff.
Itās not that much. You reaally have to be min/maxing to find a minor advantage in there in a specific scenario.
Iād be happy just getting some sort of glyph like they did for Treant form. Or maybe if itās easier to implement, feral/guardian can still learn it but they donāt get any bonus to the form, or whatever.
It shouldnāt be that hard as they can just adjust those values per spec.
I would be absolutely okay with Moonkin not giving boni to Feral (or Guardian for that matter). Owlweaving was not great gameplay, I donāt want it to return.
But we should keep access to Moonkin form simply for Flap and dance. It also sucks to largely loose access to all the cool Moonkin forms I farmed.
Ishnu-alah Friendsā¦I grow up as a resto druid and ever since I play like this! For years I tried to master how to play only as resto druid while I learn to dmg with the other forms too (cat, bear, moonkin). Moonkin form was my favorite especially with the new cosmetics that was added, and it was perfect for me!! Now I canāt enjoy the playthrough that I was creating and mastering all these years!! PLS blizzard bring back the Moonkin form for all druids!There is not even one Archdruid who will say otherwise! Shaha lorāma

We do, we have fun with it! So it really should be available to all Druids. It need not provide any bonus to Feral or Guardian as far as I am concerned. Purely for flavour.
itĀ“s fine, just bring it as a glpyh then, or make it baseline, because im not a Fan of wasting 1 Talent point for nothing or make starfire baseline and put moonkin form in this spot
Another reason for moonkin form is mage tower. As a guardian druid Iāve completed the challenge in DF and during 1st phase moonkin form was a life saver. It just seems unfair that other ppl wonāt be able to use it now.
