I just want to mention it’s funny how we are about to get into Cata Classic where the Ascendance model first popped up, I remember seeing them in The Bastion of Twilight Raid, yet 14 years later we still have the same model…
Yeah, when Cataclysm “classic“ rolls around nearly a decade and a half later and we still have the same placeholder model in “modern” WoW something is seriously off.
I don’t even take Ascendance because of the ugly model.
I’m going to be very very disheartened if Ascendance, I mean a lot of our totems and spells do need visual updates to bring the quality up to the standard of modern WoW but at a minimum if Ascendance doesn’t I don’t think it’s ever going to happen.
Just started to play shaman and it is kind of crazy that ascendance doesn’t have any customization for it or even a glyph like stars on druid.
We had a Glyph of Stars like appearance but was removed when Ascendance became a talent and became optional and not in our spell book.
Funny thing is Resto Druids had the same issue with their moonkin becoming a talent, and yet they were able to continue to use their glyph lol
“We’re removing this glyph because Ascendance is a talent and glyphs can’t work with talents”
“Hey Druids! Here is glyph of stars for moonkin form, a talent.”
I would love a Glyph that makes us all crackly and stormy when it procs. Like that video of the lightning strikes on top of that erupting volcano!!
Urgh… it just looks so rubbish… What even is it!!! An Egyptian wind mummy?
I want a glyph to change lavaburst into a lightning spell of some kind, at least in appearance. To this day I do not understand why we got lava burst in Wrath. In BC we shot lighting, tons of lightning and little else ever. it was great. then they give us the meatball, never mind that warlock had 2 specs that used fire, and mage had a fire spec, and we were the only lightning spec in the game, they gave us fire crap too. so they not only gave us this fire thing we didn’t want, but they made it the centerpiece of the rotation and so strong it was mandatory to use. That’s why I went resto in wrath and started making tons of alts, my main of 4 years stopped being fun.
moonkin form isn’t a talent anymore, it’s baseline for balance.
I don’t take ascendance because it’s fire. As elemental our Ascendancy for should be lightning, not fire.
But it proves that the tech exists to use glyphs on talents, his post is still valid.
Moonkin form is baseline for balance but it’s still a talent in the talent tree and not baseline for the other Druid specs. But glyph of stars can still be applied to it.
that’s not the point when i brought it up, for Resto Druids moonkin form WAS A TALENT.
It may have been easier to code for because it’s such a major part of the Balance spec, but it was a talent gated for Resto and that’s a fact.
There is no technological limitations whatsoever, especially now that everything is a talent in the spellbook.
