Would love to see some new glyphs come in for shaman. It feels like Shaman is one of the easier classes to do glyphs for while still maintaining and respecting class/spec fantasy but for some reason it has a very small amount of glyphs to choose from. Druids and locks have multiple customization options to change their form colors and pets, monks have the ability to change the color of Crackling jade lightning and Rising sun kick, DKs have the ability to change their ams colors, etc.
Examples of what would be cool to see:
-Glyphs to change our Ghost wolf form into an Elemental Ghost wolf. 1 glyph for each element type ie fire, nature, lightning and wind (the blue form we have kind of works for water already). Essentially just adding 1 of these elemental effects to the ghost wolf form and we can pick based on individual glyph. Should stack with ghost wolf glyphs that change ghost wolfs form.
-Glyphs to change our elemental shields into elements we dont have available for them. Ie Glyph of Lava Shield: Turns your chosen elemental shield into a Lava Shield (can be applied to only 1 shield, but can pick which one) and Glyph of Wind Shield: Turns your chosen elemental shield into a Wind Shield (same as above)
-Glyphs to change the color of lightning bolt to other colors that lightning tends to take on ie Glyph of Red Lightning: Your Lightning Bolt takes on a red appearance and Glyph of White Lightning: Your Lightning Bolt takes on a white appearance
-Glyph of Cyclonic Winds: Your Doom Winds now envelops you in a storm cyclone. Dathea is a good example of how this could look cool, just remove the arms/head of the elemental she is inside of and add some lightning effects to it, and possibly make the shaman float with this too since it’d be a cyclone.

I would fight Green Jesus himself for the chance at changing my Elementals with Glyphs. Give me Pandaria fire kitty. Give me those cool elementals we saw in DF.
And for the love of all that is holy let me change the dung ball of an animation you call Earth Shield, Blizz

Of course but this is the shaman forums lol, going to discuss shaman glyphs here. But there should definitely be glyphs for all classes.
Right? I’d love to be able to change our elemental shields up a bit. Players will get used to what glyphs are in the game, it isn’t going to confuse players. They can also make it so the elemental shield glyphs aren’t visible to other players only to you in PvP or something so people don’t get “confused” there, but realistically each shaman can only have 2 shields, and the options for ele and enh are lightning shield/earth shield, resto is water/earth, and people check enemy buffs in pvp anyway.
Just wanted to say something about that since that was there reasoning for being careful with glyphs and customizations, that it would confuse pvp players.
Hope we see some new glyphs in Midnight and throughout Midnight. It is such an underutilized system.

If blizzard gave us a glyph that turned all our spell animations into lightning (even if it’s just visible to us), I would be so happy.
The glyph system is such a wasted potential. They could easily give each class 10 glyphs or more for cool visual effects but rarely touch up on them.
This!
They’re some of the best elementals I’ve seen, and it’s a shame blizz isn’t giving them to shamans.

I’m never gonna say no to new glyphs, and I think a good start would be giving each race a unique feral spirit/ghost wolf, as wolves only really make sense for orcs/maghar.
Ex:
Dwarf - Rams
Draenei - Talbuks
Dark Iron - Blazehounds
Kul Tiran - Stags
Orc - Wolves
Tauren - Plainstriders
Troll - Raptors
Goblins - Crabs
Highmountain - Eagles
Mag’har - Dire Wolves
Zandalari - Direhorns
Vulpera - Coyotes
Pandaren - Turtles
Earthern - Ramoliths
As for the shields, they really just need updated looks from their vanilla ones. I’d prefer If you did not see the shield until it was triggered, as it would make it feel more reactive and you could give cool animations/talents associated with the shields to make them a bigger part of shaman gameplay.
Yeah it is completely wasted potential right now. We got new ascendance glyphs which were awesome, but people have been begging for glyphs that let them customize some spell colors in a way that makes sense for the spec.
And shaman is one of the best and easiest classes to do that for since we have the elements. Like examples I gave in the op, changing earth shield to lava shield or lightning shield to wind shield visually would be really cool, allowing us to infuse our ghost wolf forms with elements, changing lightning bolts color, etc. So many things they can do.
Missed this when I read your post the first time. I’ll be real I have no idea why we dont have elementals in the dressing room like locks do their pets, there are so many elemental models in the game we are not using for our elementals.
A glyph that hides the elemental sheilds entirely, please.
I wish they used Shadowlands Fae Forms.
My Shaman, who is distinctly a Wildhammer Dwarf, I PvPd like a mad man to unlock the Gryphon Form. It was absolutely perfect.
The Dream would be to also allow Feral Spirits to change aswell to said form.
Now imagine a Wildhammer Dwarf summoning Elemental Gryphons or even becoming one for travelling.
I wish Blizzard one day realise the untapped potential glyphs for Shaman they could have.
I would love to see a glyph that cause lighting or wind to cover our bodies think shadow form for shadow priest but with lighting or wind.
