I know I know “bear turns into bear” silly-ness.
But all one needs to be a druid is a connection to the emerald dream. Usually through a wild god.
Ever consider that the Celestials have a lot in common with wild gods.
Yu’lon’s abilities and magic seems very similar to green dragonflight and “dream” abilities they have from connecting to the emerald dream.
It’s how mistweavers get their healing power.
It’s not a stretch to say even if it hasn’t been explicitly stated before that Yu’lon is a wild god and has access to the emerald dream and thus is capable of making Pandaren who revere her into druids.
It might be a tiny-bit of a retcon. It could also be explained that she only recently decided to bless her disciples with access to the dream and that she didn’t previously out of fear of the nightmare.

Panda druids will work as long as their moonfire disintegrates them.
No, Guardian form is Niuzao ox form.
Feral form is Xuen cat form.
Balance can be a Chi-Ji or Yu’lon coloration of Glyph of Stars.
They are Wild Gods.

It is silly because Guardian pandas would be an ox, not a bear.
They are wild gods. Makes me wonder if Blizzard was going to give them druids then changed their mind.

There is no Resto form. And Chi-Ji heals more than Yu’lon.
Shine on you crazy diamond you. I want Warlock Pandaren. Anyone can be corrupted and or wield fel power, Pandaren not being able to stinks, and makes no sense. There is a few pandaren warlocks in the lore even.

Well… when you fight Yu’lon, she hits you with Moonfire. I think her version is called Jadefire.
And Chi-ji is the healer. His/her temple is where Anduin did some priest training.

I always considered both Chi-ji and Yu’lon to be healers just in different ways, but that’s mostly because of the stances that we used to have. I wonder which one would be more passable as a tree form?

I’m still waiting on Draenei Druids.
I always found that mentality to be hypocritically stupid, as if Werewolves and Cow-people are somehow more valid.

People always forget “cow-people” exist. They’ll say something along the lines of the game started going down hill once they added furries

Suddenly hit with a memory.
That they were going to give them druids but decided that Monk had too much similarities? And they wouldn’t be both monks and druids which seems silly and such. Idk if it’s true and if it is it may have been cut so as to not make unique forms for them but yeha.

Not any sillier than a wolf turning into a cat. Just give the druid forms an Asian flair.

Pandaren Druid is my dream race/class combo. I’m still holding out for hope that they’ll become a reality in the not-so-distant future. I ain’t getting any younger over here, Blizz.

I’ll be honest, I was shocked when I found out they couldn’t be druids when they announced them. They live in Balance and Harmony, I see no real reason why they couldn’t.
