BfA's Mage Tower! [Glyph of Azeroth]

Community General Discussion
1

First I would like to say that I’m more or less happy with how Elemental is playing since the updates for 8.1. With that being said, I think that there is something that could be done to make our BfA experience even more fun–that’s right– Azerite Elementals.

Hear me out, though. I’m not suggesting we completely create a brand new elemental to add to our repertoire (though that would be amazing), the Azerite Elemental model I see when I do Motherlode or a Champions of Azeroth world quest makes me happy. They are a beautifully designed, colorful enemy, that could (and should) become a formidable ally for all Shaman that are willing to more deeply attune themselves to Azeroth.

How can we make this happen?

In my mind I see the quest-line for this vanity glyph being similarly difficult to similar non-shaman related quest lines that existed in the game, such as the questline that led many warlocks to wield both the title and the green fires of the Black Harvest.

I don’t want to go too far into theorizing quest-lines and possible other cosmetic alterations that this expansion could provide for your mains, but I do want to know what you all think about this?

Do you think it would be fun to see Azerite Elementals be an asset of your friendly, neighborhood shaman? Would you like to see other classes get affected by continued exposure to Azerite?

Demon Hunters whose Eye Beam instead blasts enemies with Azerite?

Warrior Heroic Leaps and Thunderclaps that are cosmetically empowered by Azerite? Let me know.

I vote we make a fourth Shaman spec called Earthwarden and give it Azerite elementals to help buff the Shaman… as they tank!

:smiley: :+1:

I think that there’s definitely room to add fourth specs to the classes that don’t currently have one. That would be cool. What do you think about some other classes having some sort of cosmetic appearance obtainable?

4

Give DH’s a third spec before everyone else gets a 4th…

5

Or just remove them.

6

Shamans? Might as well.

7

Good luck with that. Just because you don’t enjoy a class doesn’t mean other people follow suit…

8

Good Lord it’s a joke.

A bad one…

Go one step further and add azerite-inspired spells to the classes instead of just cosmetic glyphs. We’ve got Azeroth’s heart around our necks for the rest of this expansion. It could power us all up beyond just azerite traits.

Yes demon hunters are bad.

12

Which spec would you want DHs to have? Healer or a second Tank/DPS?

13

Bad troll is bad. Nice try though…

14

A second dps spec would be good. Don’t really see fel as being a suitable source to heal people when it leeches off the souls of demons. Maybe some sort of ranged dps… Who knows…

15

Demon hunters seem fine with 2 specs. Come up with some actual ideas and examples of how you think a 2nd DPS class could fit into DH lore. I think that something similar to what Xe’ra was trying to do to Illidan could justifiably create a third spec. Perhaps something like that, but with Azerite? Give some examples. Let’s try to focus on coming up with ideas guys.

16

I would rather have a Esper/Psychic class in the game to be honest. Wildstars Esper class was a blast to play.

In before Shadow Priests, they’re more voidy than psychic.

17

I think a ranged DH would be encroaching on Dark Ranger territory. Healer could work if they were siphoning health from enemies.

18

I like this sort of theorizing, but I want to try to keep this thread focused on how we could have some sort of Azerite focused BfA, spec specific mage tower at some point. Everyone wants to complain about what’s wrong, but this is my attempt to get people to talk about solutions that I think could actually be implemented in this expansion if we articulate and create ideas that are reasonable enough. Devolving a thread that could eventually inspire content to be created for us by derailing it to be about a lack of a third spec for a DH isn’t helpful, unless you can connect it to this idea somehow. You haven’t yet. Please try to focus on thinking of some way that we could make it happen, given the azerite exposure and the [Heart of Azeroth] we’re all wearing. :slight_smile:

You’re not useful anymore, elfmon.

Accept dis fate, child!

You sacrificed everything just to be a one-trick saurid!

Thats the thing though, Azerite would be the perfect opportunity to introduce a Psychic. Azerite amplifies their already superior minds, thus allowing them the power of telekenesis and creating illusions to attack with. As for creating ideas to fix the expansion, its gonna require a lot more than just another spec for one of the classes in the game or aesthetic appearances. I wrote a long thread about this a while back on how to fix the game.

While I enjoy your enthusiasm. Aesthetic and new specs wont fix what is currently wrong with BFA. Even though it is a cool idea and I think an azerite elemental would be pretty dope.
