Hey.
I've been playing balance for a while and got really attached to the "Power of Goldrinn" artifact trait, I loved everything about it.
The reason behind this post is to try to get staff to see it and consider taking it back. It doesn't have to be a trait that does damage, just an appearance from a glyph on Starsurge or whatever. I just want the visual effect back, since it's more or less the coolest thing I've seen during the latest expansions.
Am I the only one feeling this way or are you guys also thinking about this quite alot?
Looks cute, i would like something like that back.
This may be coming back from Dragonflight xpac in the form of a Balance spec talent.
I personally am not a big fan of the animation, I love the damage effect more… I feel as though spells that look like animals (a wolf) look a bit ‘tacky’.
Spells should look like spells IMO, and specifically with balance druids spells should reflect their current theme of the moon, stars and the sun… And if any spell is animated to appear that of an animal they should be minions/pets that fight alongside you, akin to that of a hunter or warlock… This is just my opinion though on what I think ‘looks good’ 
With that said, I hear you… As I’ve had instances where spells, be it effects/visuals that I’ve liked, be removed from the game as per xpac 
What I think would be a really good idea, that would cater to everyone’s taste, is a feature implemented to ‘transmog’ and customise spells of your liking… Since the introduction of customisation/personalisation (i.e. gear transmog and allied races/skins) to the game has become increasingly widespread, I would think it’d be well received by the community that this extended to spell animations too…
Here is a preview of what I mean:
Here you can see a hypothetical interface of what this might practically look like in-game and how this feature may serve the community!
