There is monks that can tank with barely any magic as well as being highly intoxicated, and then there are warriors which are magically impotent and can also just tank fine.
Yep, Monks use Chi, Brews and their agility in humanoid form to tank blows, a druid doesn't.
Yep, Warriors clad themselves in tons of plate armor and wear shields, a druid doesn't.
The suggestion is purely a cosmetic one, that doesn't take away either the forms, or whatever lore that is built around druids
The fact that it is purely cosmetic and nothing is taken away would be applicable to a huge variety of suggestions that wouldn't make sense. Why aren't Warriors allowed tank wearing kimono robes and wield a wand, just cosmetical...because it does not make sense!
Ouh, and it would take away lore, you befriend the respective spirit of each form so he rewards you with the gift to shapeshift into the specific form. You would not do that and not become a druid if you would not shapeshift!
Makes no sense to become druid with a mindset like that.
Hmm missed the part about pvp, only makes it more flimsy imo. I dont like toy appearance forms that break as soon as i mount, might just be me. Ah well never played a druid and never felt like taking one up so w/e :)
How will that work for travelform though? I don't wanna see flying Tauren.
Sometimes my game bugs a little, and my druids don't change forms... I think it looks awesome when my travelform still is a tauren...
She runs gracefully over the sky :D

doomchickens have zero customisation. I want a fully shaved doomchicken with a blue and green Mohawk

My favorite is when this happens on my boomkin... Flying chickens are funny as hell.

Bear and Cat should stay as they are. They provide a unique toolbox when you enter the form. I would not mind getting rid of Moonkin form though, it really doesn't serve an actual purpose like bear and cat form. We still have access to the main spells untalented/in all specs. Moonkin form feels like it lack personality and purpose because of this. It feels like pure fluff. Worthless fluff.
Bear and cat however, do not touch.

Or add something similar to boomkin? Always thought it might be cool to have a similar ability to the feathers on ji-kun. Would at least make the chicken form make more sense, there is absolutely 0 relation between it and boomkin abilities.
No thanks!
I don't like the fantasy to be deluted, even if it something each individual can chose for themselves.
This is a fantasy game with a set of rules and it is somewhat tiresome all these people whining about special treatment.
What would be next?
Tank paladin with double 2-hander like fury; bcause I WANT DAT and it is something you can chose to glyph or not!?
The only thing i want is to be able to change my form appereance outside of weapons.
Why can't i have my discocat and a polearm Blizzard? Is it really that difficult to just add an NPC to ask to toggle forms?
Why aren't Warriors allowed tank wearing kimono robes
They can druing season events.
and wield a wand
My paladin is using the Tankard o Terror.Then there is the stinkroot smasher, aka N'Zoth which you can see people run around with... A literally fish...

It takes away nothing, and is it so difficult to imagine that a druid not permanently in it's is rapidly changing himself?
All it would do is give the class with the worst customization, some actual customization.

Sorry, but I think it takes away a great deal, and I've played druid since 2006. I don't see the problem. Like I said, I can get behind a removal of Moonkin form, because it doesn't really change gameplay. Someone said it very well higher up, as bear and cat you actually "become the animal".
I get that you want to look like your humanoid form at all times, I just can't agree that druids should be so fundamentally changed into something they are not, for it. You can argue that it would be a choice, but I'm gonna be selfish here and say that I don't want to see my fellow bears and cats destroy the idea of the feral and guardian druid.
I don't like this idea, for me it erodes class fantasy. It would be the same as having a mage cast spells by hitting their opponent for the duration of the cast. It would be the same as a paladin using a melee attack by waving their hands in the air.
I suppose it's one of those things that doesn't actually take anything away from me, but if you're going to allow druids to be non feline ferals then why not let every class attack in whatever way they feel like?
While we are at ir I donât like my warlocks demons. I wanna have pet clouds and cats, clouds riding on cats. Give me that pls.

Your class has a plethora of EXTRA MODELS, for your class exclusively.
Other classes have but one model - their actual character.
Entitled much?

yes but not all specs do and you cant use cat abilities in bear form or vice versa .. so you have to be in that form to do the spec. Cat and bear have lots of things they can change but doomchicken has nothing apart from a glyph for starry normal shape. bleigrhg. Can it be that hard to give a shapeshifting class the ability to specialise their appearance. I want a doomchicken utterly shaved with a Mohawk. I cant stylise my doomchicken in any way. I should be able to. Even one where I forgot to wipe and now its all mangled up back there ... something ... anything to make my doomchicken look a bit different to all the other doomchickens.
You get to change what you look like when you create a character etc .. my poor little doomchicken, same as its always been. Even a little pendant or different feathers .. anything. not sure ive mentioned it but an option to shave my doomchicken and give it a brightly coloured Mohawk

i got you covered.
when i use dalaran hearthstone as a druid (dalaran being really slow place to load) and use the flight form before everything loads up completely...
it shows my character in "human form" doing the swimming animation while flying around. :D
can you imagine all those tauren druids swimming around in the air like a boss?
it would truly be a sight to behold!
What would be the point of that? It's like making a warlock's fire spells look like frostbolts. It would also look really bad for feral and guardian to have their animations and effects on a normal form.
Mabye they should make it like for demon hunters though, that the alternate form looks slighty different depending on hair/skin color and such.

Pretty sure you get to go through exactly the same customization as everyone else, u don't start in the character select screen with a generic chicken. You have the option of different chicken forms depending on race too, zandalari looks epic imo.
Cat and bear have different forms from legion artifact appearances and that is it, boomkin have different weapon appearances just like the rest of us, you also have a glyph to change your appearance, nobody else has one of those.
As a shaman I want to be able to wander around as an elemental permanently, but I can't, it is not how my class works (I dont actually, I am perfectly happy with the generic troll model that a million other trolls all have, I don't have to be a snowflake, but i am trying to make a point).
