Dude, it is insane how bad it is. I almost have no words. Legitimately, it’s like the devs are intentionally trying to treat Shaman terrible.
All throughout the years, when other classes get stuff over and over, when Druids get their 900th new form, and on and on, over and over… and Shaman gets nothing. Repeatedly.
And then, finally, when we finally get an update to the hated Ascendance form… they make it worse.
Please tell me that isn’t on purpose. It is like they designed this form out of spite for the players who have been asking for a new/better Ascendance for years. Some since the day it was introduced to game (was it Cata?), like me.
How hard is it to design something around the shared Shaman class identity of the elements? And not some clown looking thing that only appeals to, maybe, the “witch doctor” type fantasy of a troll shaman?
Dathea from Vault of the Incarnates. Do that. Or simply make our characters just turn bluey-lightning, or something.

As I and a few others said in the other thread about this: I thought it was an April fools joke at first. I had to ask myself what month it was. Blizzard is good at only half listening to what we want. Maybe if we gripe enough they will at least let us glyph out of it. Or perhaps go back to the drawing (literally) board.

This needed yet another thread I guess
I think it looks pretty good, also worth noting they did say at the bottom of the blue post that there would be “additional adjustments” for ascendance as well.

I just can’t believe they somehow made Ascendance worse. I didn’t think that was possible, it was already the MOST UGLY thing in the entire game!
We gotta like… start a change dot org petition or something.
I’ve never felt this strongly about a change to wow before. Not even changing survival to melee. Not even the Jailer and that whole expansion retconning 99% of the lore for no reason.
All of that pales in comparison to the absolute abomination of this new Ascendance form.

The ascendance model was bad to begin with which is why so many of us advocated for getting it changed over the years. It feels strange for them to double down on an aesthetic that very few people seemed to like to begin with.
