Intro:
I’d like to discuss the fun aspects of WoW, like the class fantasy and character customization.
I believe steps like Druid barber options to fully customize their forms were a great addition to the game.
This opened up the way for warlock pets as well, I believe Shamans deserve something after all these years.
Barbershop Shaman Class Customization Options:
Ghost Wolf Forms:
-default, ghost wolf
-blue spectral ghost wolf (current glyph)
-spectral raptor (currently glyph)
-vulpin (currently glyph)
-lupine (currently glyph)
-other notable Soulshape forms recycled
-racial animals: talbuk, gyphon, ravasaurs ?
Feral Spirits:
-Default- dire wolves
-Raptors (currently glyph)
-Lupine
-future options here
Totems:
-Default-racial totem
-basic throwback (old vanilla style tauren totems)
-new Totemic epic unlock here
-Surge Totem customization as well
Elementals:
-Fire Elemental and Primal upgrade
-Earth Elemental / Primal Earth
-Storm Elemental / Primal Storm
Ascendance Form:
-Default: Simple astral forms (Minor glyph of Ascendance)
-Ascendant: Classic Ascendant state, (default now)
-Primalist’s Fury: take on the form of an ascended primalist, clad in furious elements (think Kurog Grimtotem, elemental armor)
Hex Variants:
Default: frog
old variants ingame:
-Compy (red raptor)
-skeletal hatchling (skeletal raptor)
-Zandalari Ravasaur
-new critter options here
Bonus heroic upgrade:
class campaign questline to unlock storm eyes (think Thrall, Thor, Ten Storms helm)

Agreed but that takes effort and you know…

Baking this kind of thing into the barber UI is such a no-brainer at this point; I love it!
Recycling some of the soulshapes for GW is a fun way to broaden customizations, considering it’s already spirit stuff. As for Ascendance… Five seconds of scrolling any ‘what do you want to see’ topic around here will tell you just how bad we need an option to get rid of the cata model. I’m all for it. Even if it just turns you into a basic elemental for a few seconds, it’d be vastly preferred!
Good post. Hope we get a fraction of some of this down the line

Speaking of totems, when will the Tauren totems be updated?

I love the heritage totem on our backs, I was hoping for a smaller version of those.

They really just deleted the other shaman thread on the general forums where no one was cursing or blowing up. Bruh. 2 shaman threads deleted back to back. 'Sword? What sword?" I want all the above cosmetics. What was the last one? Ghost raptor?

I’m quite shocked as well. Makes a lot of the upset feelings I’ve seen more understandable now

Balance comes and goes, but class fantasy and RP is integral to feeling attached to your character.
We could really use this barber update.
I love that updated Tauren totem models are literally in the game but blizz is like “pfft F shaman”
it seems like some new ascendance options are in order after many people’s feedback.

Yes please, this is the best idea for all Shamans.
Crossing my fingers they’ll also take a look at the Shaman legion mounts some day, and let us choose which colour variant we want, and not have our spec dictate it.

That totem is frowning because he hasn’t been updated for so long

I actually went and checked a couple days ago, and we in fact literally have fewer cosmetic glyphs for Ghost Wolf and Feral Spirit combined than druids have options for their moonkin form’s eyebrows.
