What if people wanted to show off their new Transmog, but canât because the Shadowform is too dark? There is a glyph that reduces the effects A BIT, but I think it doesnât help that much. I personally donât like the current Shadowform (glyphed or not) and as a Shadow Priest main, I wonât stop asking for OPTIONS.
I decided to do something in Photoshop to see how would it look if we had an option to choose between being fully dark in Shadowform and flying Orbs/Spheres/Ravens above your head & shoulders.

I obviously got an inspiration from Kaelâthas Sunstrider because he got these flying spheres. I think Warlocks used to have them before (now theyâre crystals).

Also, a few months ago I made a collage of all past and current Shadowforms from the game. Theyâre still in the data and it would be awesome if we could choose between them as well because there are people who like the original Classic Shadowform, while I like the 7.3 glyphed one the most because it fit my Void Elf so well.

If you have time, I recently made a post about additional customization for races in future patches of Shadowlands so please read and reply if you think I havenât mentioned something . eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/additional-customization-for-91-beyond/188059
I donât like the orbs for SPriest, especially now that their orb mechanic isnât even a thing anymore.
Fire mages had it, and Warlocks can still use gems or embers. Fire mages lost theirs, they should get theirs back before Priest gets some.
Main reason for not liking them is theyâre over used and blur the lines of class identity. Not special when all three cloth casters have association to floating orbs.
As for the raven idea, love SPriest and Ravens. Miss that Glyph, which is also my favorite representation of how it should be.
Well, Iâm just offering the idea of alternative options if someone (like me) doesnât like the current Shadowform and the last photo shows how awesome it would be if we could choose between the old visuals. Personally, I like the orb idea if I wanted to see my character more clearly I canât think of any other way.
I like it as it means I donât have to bother with mogs.
Must admit I donât like the orbs ⌠not sure why, but doesnât look like a shadow priest.
Also, to add: Druids no longer require glyphs to look like other forms, they can select the form they want in Barbershop. I just donât see why Shadow Priest canât do the same with their old Shadowforms (that are in the data already anyway) including these orbs and ravens. If it doesnât make sense for âBarbershopâ, just add a tab at Class trainer.
I canât think of any other way.
