Looks like they put a helmet on the new model and changed it to look more… rock-like.
Are we satisfied? No old glyph returning /sigh , guess its ok to me.
Doesn’t matter if you don’t take Ascendance but yes, the new ones are an improvement. I do wish they’d have gotten more creative with the female model’s torso. I get that they needed covering but I think it woulda been nice to show off more of their “rock-hard” abs. Maybe they could have made the belt buckle smaller and had the "shirt’ hang down less.

Better than the clown banshee? Absolutely, but still incredibly ugly and class fantasy/immersion breaking. I find the helmet model worse than the current model, but all of them are worse than just giving us back the glyph. I want to see MY character ascend, not some completely different character model.
I still don’t understand how we are stuck with this idea that no matter what you look like, big or small, human or vulpera, you still turn into a Twilight Cultist?! Makes zero sense and just destroys any sort of character fantasy and immersion. Just a really dumb decision.
They could have just based an entire hero tree on ascendance and had some fun with it. Instead of being a twilight cultist you borrow the power of a elemental lord. It’s like the DK getting the 4horseman except you turn into Ragnaros or thunderian or any of the other elemental head honchos. Might not fit the lore exactly, but it would be fun and flavorful compared to boring andbarely noticeable ghosts, lightning effect, and totem.

Not a fan of any ascendent design even the OG. I kind of wish we just grew hovered for a glow around us and orbs of every element swirling around us like kind of like the Avatar State in last Airbender but with growing because in Wow Growing means more power lol

I much prefere the newmodel. However I would still much prefer to keep my charater model hovering with some cool Elemental flavour.

It’s the best version of the form yet, but that bar is low.
I’d still rather have the Kurog treatment and have my normal character model get an elemental makeover rather than turn into some rock monster.

Its better then what it was. I don’t think we will be fully satisfied until we get more options for it.
As most people have stated: Just “ascending” with your character and being surrounded by the corresponding elements of the spec. I.e. A resto being surrounded by a globe of swirling water.
Hopefully they add more glyphs and/or barber shop option for ghost wolf and ascendance forms later on.

I would really like a thunder themed aura option for Elemental. I much prefer it to the Fire esthetic. If I wanted to lob fireballs I’d be playing my mage, cool looking lightning spells is the main reason I play shaman.

Technically ele throws rocks, not fireballs. Molten rocks, but still rocks. I suppose Elemental Blast is 1/3 fireball.
I am with you on the clown model. I was not a fan but there are some who are. Kudos for giving everyone an option.

The new model is better, for sure. There is not much color difference between enhance and resto, but it looks good compared with the initial “lol, wtf is this” version.

I get the elemental differences, but i was hoping for more of an all elements, Avatar type things, with all of the elements shooting off of us.
