I really love Evokers as a class, and I even enjoy the visage form considering how good a lot of transmogs and the horns and hair options look. It would be better if we could choose any races we’ve unlocked as our visage, but that’s a bigger task for another time.
But I find myself trying to avoid dragon form more and more. It’s subjective that I think their aesthetic and animations look goofy, but their extreme limitations with transmogs and armor is objectively disappointing and boring.
I’m finding myself constantly using things like Atomic Recalibrator, Transformer Beacon, Orb of the Sin’dorei and other full transform toys off cooldown just so I can maintain a different form while using Evoker abilities that would otherwise force me into dracthyr form, even if some animations are missing from hovering.
Despite the broken animations in these transformations, I still prefer the forms of these toys in combat over the forced dracthyr form, though the transmogs I’ve built specifically for visage form don’t always look great as other races, and Atomic Recalibrator is on a massive cooldown for whatever reason. So, ultimately my preference is visage form, but you are ripped out of it as soon as you cast most necessary abilities. Then to get back into visage form, I have to waste a GCD. Pretty stupid, and completely untenable in many situations in high M+ keys.
It would just be really nice if I could choose to permanently stay in visage form no matter what abilities I used, if I wanted to. A glyph or an ability or anything that gives me the option to stay in visage form at all times would pretty much solve all my gripes with this race/class, visually.

I would like it. I wouldn’t always use it but i would like the option.
What i’d really like are some temporary transformations like DH. Would feel more like i’m “evoking” draconic power.
Now…Inb4 people start telling you exactly what you should like and dislike about this race/class, and that you should reroll if you like your visage more than your dragon form.

I would never leave visage.
But it would also be fine if Chosen Identity worked in combat.

I hope nobody says that, because we actually cannot change race for this class haha

would be nice. i dont even waste my gold transmoging on my evoker since all i can change is my shoulders and belt. either make armor show up as a dragon or give a option to toggle visage to stay on in combat.

Do the devs look at these forums, or should I make this suggestion elsewhere?

We have blubbery muffin so it’s okay.
Honestly, the suggestion has been made nonstop since it was learned how the race/class would work.
My guess is they probably planned on different races but ran out of time for the extra customizations and we’ll get this late in DF.

They really should add an option to keep visage form if not all the time, at least most of the time, save for when certain spells like deep breath are used.
Its doesn’t feel good to have do give up on one of the coolest aspects of the game (playing with transmogs) to be able to play a certain class/race.
Its made even more aparent now with the new trading post cosmetic options and i can’t get hyped with them because ill rarely them in effect and the shoulders/belts that go over to draconic form are just weird with most options it has…

I’d kill to have this. The biggest thing keeping my evoker from being my favorite character is just the way it looks. If I could stay in visage or even at the very least transmog the dragon form I’d like it so much more.

Asking for this for a while now. The dragon form looks so ugly… I would play it if i didnt have to play as the lizard.

I agree with this. I like my preservation evoker but I do feel very limited on the transmog side.

they should have just made it like Demon Hunters and you immediately go back into visage UNLESS you need to for a spell. I know we have the toggle (cant remmeber the name) but it doesnt always work especially after hover or after death.

Here have a new feature based around transmog, it’s amazing… Oh and here is a class that cannot use the new feature.
Have fun guys.

I hope they make it an option. You can cast what… like 90% of Preservation abilities in visage? It looks nice too especially since we’re able to “visually” enjoy our customizations.

Heh, oddly enough that was a selling point for me. I kinda liked that I could use the minimal barbershop armour and never have to actually see any mail pieces.
I don’t really have a horse in the Visage race, though. I never use the ability. I actually prefer the Dracthyr form. I can’t really see any harm of letting people who want to stay in it stay in it, though at that point I wonder why not just open up Evoker to other races. 0_o

I would love to see chosen form act closer to what DH have, where the player is in visage form during combat, and abilities like Disintegrate, Fire Breath and Deep Breath switch us briefly to Drac during that abilities animation before switching back to visage.

A glyph like the druid Glyph of Stars would be a simple solution imo. Evokers are the only class without any glyphs for customization right now and this fits right into their current goal.
Or just a barbershop toggle/new racial like the worgen are getting.
Almost all of the evoker players i know would be thrilled with the option.

The racial the Worgen are getting is the racial we already have. It just plops you into Visage when you get out of combat. I believe what people are asking for is to be able to use Visage IN combat.

I meant in the sense of gaining a new active racial that enables a new cosmetic option (as to imply that they have multiple options on how to implement it: Glyph, new racial, barbershop toggle, etc), not on the effect of the new worgen racial itself.
Could have phrased better.
