Shadow Priest Shadowforms - 9.1.5 wish

Hi there! I’ve made a similar post about this a few months ago, but now that it seems like the Devs might actually read these topics and people’s wishlists about the upcoming 9.1.5 patch, I would like to ask the Devs to give us, Shadow Priests, an option to choose between past and present Shadowforms.

There are currently 6 versions (3 of them are with Glyph of Shadowform). Since Druids can choose to select which Bear, Cat or Travel form they want to use, I think we could also have the same option with Shadowform in Barbershop.

All of these visuals are still in the game files as we can see multiple old & new NPCs such as Void Elf priests in Zuldazar during the assault. I understand that many people like older versions, even the newest one, but I personally like the 7.3 ones and I wish everybody had an option to choose the form they enjoy playing with.

Additionally, I decided to play with Photoshop a little and made a concept of Orbs, Tentacles & Ravens that Shadow Priests could use to show off their Transmog after years of being shadowy purple. In the past, we had both orbs and ravens. We still have tentacles when entering Voidform.

I’d love this, these forms look awesome.

Perhaps we could us them as a base for different Entropic Embrace skins for Void Elves?

Whaddya think? :star_struck:

honestly it would be nice to be able to remove it, after a while you want to see your transmog

That’s why I think Shadow orbs (and other Voidy themed orbs/eyes) would be such an interesting replacement option.

It would be nice if Blizzard would do something like this.

A low-budget solution could also be to simply remove the +10% spell damage on Shadowform – which is the only bonus it gives – thereby making it an entirely cosmetic ability. Use it for the looks if you want, but you don’t have to.

But yeah, more ability customization would be welcomed by all classes and specs I think. And for Shadow Priests the Shadowform ability is definitely a visual where more customization would be appreciated.

I don’t wanna be a sore pessimist, but Blizzard usually ignore the coolest ideas just like this :frowning:

(Bump reply :grimacing:)

But yeah, this would be really such a cool thing for Main Shadow Priest players who enjoy/ed the previous versions of Shadowform such as myself.
