Class favor spells we should have. (Cosmetic/Mild usefulness)

Community General Discussion
1

Hello and welcome! I would love to make a thread dedicated to spells and abilities that have nothing to do with power or that new raid gear! Nope! this is a place for fun and mild usefulness while giving us a deeper connection to our classes and the roles they take in this world we all love.

Please note: Some of these ideas are in the game in one form or another but I think needed expanded on to more classes for flavor. (A great example is the forsaken race don’t need to breath underwater, but death knights still have too even though they are stated as being undead. So the idea in question to this would be that Death knights should also have a passive for this)

These are my own ideas, I’ve spent a few weeks making this post and some ideas I’ve had for years. Please be kind and respectful to one another and remember these ideas are meant for fun, flavor and lore. With that said I am deeply excited to hear peoples own ideas in this thread!

  • WARRIOR

    1. Should have eye bananas to play as blind blademasters. (as seen in siege of orgrimmar raid from mist)
    2. Should have glyphs or more options for spell visual effects such Thunder/lighting for charge or enrage. (This idea is in the spirit of the fire spell effect glyphs and ones that give some spells lightning already, we just need more of it)
    3. Should have a class only visual effect for dying in battle. (to die in combat is a warriors death so a Val’kyr takes their spirit to Valhalla instead of the shadowlands)

  • HUNTER

    1.Should allow a passive that makes most beast non hostile to them in the open world
    zones (shared with druids)
    2. Should be able to list class as Hunter, Huntress or Ranger.
    3. Should have a spell like camouflage they can use whenever while out of combat (a weaker verion of night elves shadowmeld)
    4. Should have a passive that gives 5% XP while leveling in any forested zone (shared with druids)

  • MAGE

    1. Should be able to walk on water like death knights with a frost ability to do so.
    2. Should have the option to turn into a flight form crow (This ability is believed to be from Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian Which is owned by Khadgar, I would love to get a quest for it or get similar power as this form as a reward.
    3. Should have a passive to not delay spell cast from melee damage. (this is a debatable one for me, as it does have a clear use for combat, however void elves have this as a racial and I think it be very fitting for masters of the arcane/spell casting to not be delayed at all)

  • ROGUE

    1. Should be able to pickpocket friendly npc’s (not players) I think this could be very funny if when you do it to much friendly guards can catch on and become hostile to you for taking their stuff. (They try to kill you skyrim ‘‘never shoulda come here!’’ style)
    2. Should have a passive that lets you barter for selling stuff for slightly more gold, nothing crazy. Think a 1% gold increase to vender selling only.

  • PRIEST

    1. Should be able to list class as Priest or Priestess
    2. Should have old shadow form return as a glyph. As I deeply prefer it over this newer one from legion.

  • WARLOCK

    1. Should have the demon form/demon wings from old Demonology return as a cosmetic class item in some format, Even as a toy with no cooldown perhaps.
    2. Should get more pet options from demons we see in the world (Jailers are a really cool concept and should be a pet skin) as a example.

  • PALADIN

    1. Should get a questline for customization unlocks similar/inspired by the Lightforged for all races. Golden eye options, Tattoos, Maybe a glowing effect of some kind.

  • DRUID

    1. Should allow a passive that makes most beast non hostile to them in the open world zones (shared with Hunters)
    2. Should have the removed ability to make a Hurricane returned as a visual effect you can channel for fun. This spell brought me a lot of comfort in my teens as someone who loves storms.
    3. Keep it coming with the new forms, yall are doing great and I love the idea of ‘‘attuning’’ to beast in the world to ‘‘learn’’ their form. We need more of that 10/10 stars.
    4. Should have a passive that gives 5% XP while leveling in any forested zone (shared with Hunters)

  • SHAMAN

    1. Should have a spell to channel like Hurricane from druid that was removed or a glyph to turn their earthquake into the appearance of a storm like it.

    2. Should have ghost wolf customization moved to the barber shop

    3. Should have options given for ghost flight forms.

    4. Should have ‘‘ghost wolf’’ turned into spirit/ghost form. With cosmetic options given that can fit peoples preferences and their races lore. (A ghost elekk that could match dreanei) as example.

  • MONK

    1. Should be able to use their zen flight as a full flying mount. (it is very slow right now)
    2. Should have a bonus to ground mount speed by 10% called Wanderlust. (DK’s and pallys have a similar passive)

  • DEMON HUNTER

    1. Should have a questline similar to warlocks green fire in reverse. Turning their green fel fire into orange hellfire instead as a option)

  • DEATH KNIGHT

    1. Should not have to breath underwater, as they are undead.
    2. Should be able to list their race as undead or undead + race (undead human death knight or Undead death knight regardless of cosmetic race)
    3. Should have their Aura’s return even if only cosmetically. It really fit their fantasy to change between Frost/Unholy/Blood aura’s.
    4. Should have options in the dressing room for unholy (green) or blood (red) glowing eyes similar to the blue frosted ones. (The blood death knight art on our talent tree actually HAS red glowing eyes, hinting to some level this was a concept at one point, as some other art even shows a green tint for unholy eyes)
    5. Should have the option in the menu for old dk voices back, this was removed in bfa when allied races got dk as a option. I think keeping it for the OG races without a addon would be very nice.
    6. Pet customization should move to the barber shop, with new options such as a ghost, banshee, maybe even some of the newer undead types from the maw!

  • EVOKER
    I am deeply sorry but I can not think of any I have for evoker. My only idea was for their soar to be dragonriding but that is coming with the next xpack as it got announced. I just don’t know a lot about them or the lore.

And of course YOU! what ideas do you have for class spells to connected us more to the world around us? Thank you for reading this lost post if you’ve made it to the end and have a amazing day as we near the holiday’s this season! :santa:

Mage - More polymorph self type abilities. Specifically ones we need to find that allow you to turn into races that are not normally playable like Ogres, naga, sethrak, furbolg etc. Maybe also let mages cast these abilities on allies to share the fun. Please make them last at least 10 minutes.

Warlock - Necromancer themed undead or “demonic undead”. Like skelletons that burn with green fire. Make it so your warlock has to do quests where they learn the art of Necromancy.

Priest - A spell that transforms the priest temporarily into a avatar of a appropriate diety for their race/talent specc.

Druid - The new forms idea is boss, keep it up please.

Paladin - Angelic wings that can be used as a flying mount. Maybe a “Holy Ironman Landing” animation to go with that. Also how about some Paladin abilities that leave burning holy fire foot prints behind me.

Hunter - Just more stuff that lets me theme my hunters as Tinkers & Dark Rangers. You guys have done awsome at this so far. Maybe if possible can we add some “Shadow Hunter” themes aswell.

Warrior - More plate-kinies for both male & Females please. Some warrior only war cries / emotes. Maybe some victory emotes that warriors can spam after crushing me in pvp.

Demon Hunter - Maybe a few different demon forms to choose from or the ability to have demon form keep my tmog on.

Shaman - It was already said and im trying to avoid resaying things but more ghost wolf forms. Also maybe some options on totem styles. Btw thanks for the changes to spells that allow us to use more water effects! Luv em

Monk - Mostly i just want to see more race options for them.

Rogue - Disgues self ability similar to the mages ability to look like someone else for a while.

Deathknight - Same as what i said for warriors but death themed.
