Most people (if not all) like the uniqueness of shadowform’s visual, but also want to enjoy their transmogs and character customisations, without having to constantly switch SF on and off.
SF as a skill is useless, it should just be baseline and the visuals should be either building up with insanity, or removable with a glyph. I don’t think anyone will hate the latter oprion and it just puzzles my why Blizzard is not doing it, after all the requests over the years.

Tbh either of these idea’s I can get behind.
I still think this would be an awesome thing… where in towns and during downtime your gear is vissible, you will have the cool factor of shadowform in combat…
It adds a lot to class fantasy. It also gives your state away in pvp
Sorry if this was already said didn’t read all reply.
I would love it if shadow form was directly on your character and then the armor went over it so it effects the skin not the armor.

Any1 with beta aceess care to post a topic about this in the beta forums, so that Blizz can actually see it?
It is about time they give us the option to choose how we look, given all the work they’ve put into transmogs, it is very off putting for many people (including me) to not be able to customize our chars and be constrained to look like a purple blob…
Not to mention that it costs near 0 development time for Blizzard, to just remove the 10% spell dmg and make it flat (so that Shadowform becomes purely a visual spell), or to give us a glyph to remove the visuals.
Yeah… best way is to roll a Affliction Warlock.
Litterally, people are so obsessed to making Shadow priests as close to a Aff warlock as humanly possible.
Shadow priests have always had shadowform, and yes it makes transmog less noticable, but it does in some ways make transmogs in some cases look super good. u can also turn it off when not in combat.
well yeah… same with druids… thjey dont really get to remove their forms or show off their transmogs during combat either… it comes with the same choices.
no there isnt, and i’d be careful with that. i beleive u can be banned if detected fiddling with files.
I’d legitimately Consider rolling a Shadow priest and Not expecting to be using shadowform to be More silly.
Same reason as Druids exist.
Same reason loads of classes Exist.
to fit everyones niche, Some people value Shadowforms Aesthetic above transmog… or simply like the fact they dont need to transmog.
Shadow form is unique and no other class has it, it seperates us from just looknig like a bog standard warlock.
its not outdated. its a Iconic look for the specc and theres litterally 0 reason to remove it when the game has 2 DoT based Speccs with similar gameplay one with and one without.
Its outdated to just expect classes to give u everything, options excist for a reason.
Whats the point of transmogs for Feral and guardian Druids?
Again whats the poinnt in all the new customizations if all u see is a Cat or Bear on your screen while playing?
you have TONS of class options which dont come with these things.
well thats why he Plays a Shadow priest, and u dislike ur characters aesthetic.
you picked a class u Knew had effects which interefered with transmog, and now want a entire class to lose said unique option for the sake of transmog.
Exactly. a class which has had Shadowform for 16 years.
then play a Affliction Warlock.
im unsure on this, i think its pretty important that shadow priests do use shadow form… the distinction between a Affliction Warlock and a Shadow Priest is litterally
One comes with a Pet
the other comes with Shadowform.
There are LOADS of Warlocks who dont want to have a Pet, yet have to take a DPS Loss to do it.
There are LOADS of hunters who dont wanna use a Pet yet forced to either play Marksman or bust
there are LOADS of druids who want to see their transmogs. but have to use Animal Forms
There are loads of DKs, Monks, Warriors, Shaman who wanna Use Different Weapon, yet once more either take a DPS Loss or simply cannot.
What im saying is
- Giving this option would open a giant can of worms that’d never die down due to the quantity of options players want.
- It’ll make the Last distinctual Casting Specc look the same as all the others.
- they already have this option in the game. Pick Affliction Warlock, Take Tome of Sacrifice boom Shadow priest without a Pet.
I mean at the end of the day, People just have found Shadow OP and Now wanna play shadow without the downfalls they didnt orginally choose it for, which then they’ll just complain when the class becomes overpopulated and NNerfed hard.
a Option that already exists in the game… its called Warlock
Exacctly, agreed
ofcourse there are. Litterally. people just wanna Make the class look like a Warlock so they can Reroll to “greener grass” lol.
they did this once… it was horrific.
i’d be down with loss of void form effects.
They did… u have 12 classes in the game. and the class doesnt play far off a Affliction Warlock these days conceptually they’re both DoT Classes.
the reason choice exists is to have thes niches in the game. shadowforms Awesome… and its one of the few ways to identify immediately a Shadow priest from a Mage or Warlock.
if Shadow was the only Caster avaliable i’d agree, but its simply not, like Druid u know what ur getting into picking the specc.
i dont understand how shadowform gets More people Wanting it gone… comparitively to druids… their forms Litterally Render transmog pointless ENTIRELY.
u can actually make some really good transmog surrounding shadowform.
dont play shadow!
cuz ppls like u they changed long time ago sound of entering voitform “it was too spooky” thx casuals

There should be a glyph to make, like, only eyes glowing with shadowy smokes or something. So it is not removed completely (we are in a shadowform at that time, cannot argue with that), but made less impact on the character display.
