Official 'fix new Ascendance' thread

Community General Discussion

So I, like many Shaman, have been hoping for an update to the Ascendance model for some time now. Even since the spell was added, it has looked butt ugly and does not evoke the idea of ‘elemental master’ at all. So I was very pleased to see that it was, indeed, getting an update today. Only to find out they doubled down on the design and now it looks more undead than anything else.

I know many of you agree so here is an organized place for everyone to express their dislike of the new model and encourage Blizz to take another look at it. I would settle for at least the head being redone but honestly the whole thing could be more…elemental. I appreciate Blizz even attempting to update the model but this is a big miss, unfortunately.

They won’t change the model. So give us a glyph to use old Ascendance form.

I think they should just make it an option. Keep the old models that have worked until now as a glyph, or alternatively make the new ones a glyph.

Blizzard: We heard you. You don’t like being corrupted elemental dudes.

Blizzard: Now you’re just recolored Drustvar witches!

In the words of one of my guildies…

“This is. Like. Pennywise had a baby with an ugly volcano…”

Players: please just give us the Shaman equivalent of void form!

Blizzard: gotcha. Cheap Spirit Halloween costume it is

I don’t know if this is official. I do not see the fancy blue.

I’m okay with the new skins, it’s obviously better than Cata skins. However, I really want the form from Vault raid. Why blizzard…why…

11

I said something similar to my guildies with, “Pennywise says hello!”

I do hope Blizzard tweaks the form, because while this is cool, it’s definitely not good.

I honestly am rather surprised they didn’t just go the lazy path and give us Ascendence form that looks like bigger Primal Elementals.

Instead they put in the effort to double down and make the new Ascendence form look just as ugly as the old form.

after taking a much longer look than any mortal should, ive noticed that the fire form is literally just bolvar with hair. its even got the molten nipples!

14

Same way they did Druid forms, don’t stop with 3 only please. Let us go to the barber and customize from a bunch of options.

Btw…. The hair? Looks like Blanka from street fighter. Yuk :frowning:

Someone posted this in another thread and I think it’s a better solution.

This lazy path you speak of would have been 100x better than this.

That is my point, yes.

It’s pretty ugly.

I feel like it would have been better to keep a hood on the head without the weird squid thing the old model had and use new shoulders with elemental effects instead.

The hair is just awful.

I like that it has body types now. Finally.

As someone who has never played Shaman I can say without a doubt, the new models are great and all Shaman should be forced to use them forever.

I think the forms are fitting, shamans are already a clown class in Blizzard’s eyes anyways.
