New Ascendance model confirmed!
I just hope it is the Dathea effect for our chars (they said it is different for each spec).
Edit: just saw the model and it is hideous -.- . It went from 0-100 and back to 0 again.

It’s not a model I expected but also I don’t hate it.
This is what I mean.
It is something that some people might “like”, some people might “hate”, most will find irelevant.
But almost none will feel that this is a “shaman” spell/effect.
Gonna be honest i think it looks incredible and a clear upgrade on the weird fish dude. Now its weird looking voodoo bwonsamdi looking dude with neon colours.
I think it’s a pretty cool look, but Blizzard, if you’re reading this - please don’t the stop here on the shaman graphic updates! Please do an update for Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning and especially Lava Burst 
The good news is that you already have an updated Lightning Bolt ánd Lava Burst spell effect in the game, since you made some for the Dragonflight mobs, namely the Djaradin. They have a cool blobby lava ball effect, and some NPCs have a big ball of lightning attack.
They look great, and are in the game files, so hook us shamans up with those effects please?

I thought Lava Burst looks good? At least personally Im never tired of it even after millions of casts.
It’s not bad, I actually loved the spell effect when it came out in WotLK, but that’s a hint to my problem with it: it is quite outdated in comparison to the rest of the game (e.g. the armoursets, races, zones, mobs).
I expected some Dathea model but I’m really loving these new models, especially the fire one, it’s awesome!
I ll try to make it better for us thematically… The air version looks like Luffy’s gear 5. If also add some aura effects around to polish it… sweet…
Enjoy…
It looks pretty bad imo. Wish they’d just leave the twilight theme from cata and come up with something new

This new form is horrible!!!
I wonder if they take drugs before giving birth to these things or if they really like them, because in the second hypothesis it would be worrying…
What does a banshee form have to do with a class that is based on the elements? I don’t understand? At least they should have the courage to explain to us why they chose this form.
The only classes it could adapt to are trolls because it can remind you of voodoo. For the others it is a transformation bordering on the ridiculous.

Looks like a necrotic banshee instead of an ascended elemental. Why the creepy face??

I saw the model and body wise, I have no complaints.
It’s just the face.
NOSE looks extra goofy, it gives cartoon energy.
I’d remove that first and see how it goes.
HAIRS are Doc Brown’s property. Not a bad idea overall.
We’re getting there though, it just needs a little more cooking.
I’m just hoping I will get option to use the old version of the ascendance
You’re trolling
I am terrible sorry, but… did you guys saw the “Trolls” animated movie? 
Hopefully it gets unannounced soon. Praying

Updated forms should be the shaman transforms into an elemental mob like what we can summon. That would be more thematic than transforming into these humanoid looking models.
Why does it have to be something weird instead of just some cool effects around our character?
How is my vulpera resto shaman, a healer, supposed to identify with this nightmare evil scarecrow?
Would be a valid dungeon/raid boss model, but I don’t want my character to look like that, ever.
I have legit no idea where in history the concepts for these are rooted and I’m not interested in learning. I just want my shaman to actually look cool when pressing a major cooldown.
Legit put me off playing shaman now. Looks more like something a Deathknight might transform into.
