I would rather have soulshapes as barbershop options for ghost wolf. Blizz please make this happen. Shamans need some love!

Ion Hazzikostas wonāt allow that, otherwise they would have already made this available to the players with this patch.

Ion Hazzikamehameha wouldnāt allow a lot of things that people said they wonāt make it available because they would had done it in X patch, even past expansion stuff further ahead for those levelling or going through.
Iām sure if there was enough uproar or inspiration, theyād buckle to allow some fun be spreadable. 
Why does it require an uproar? Why canāt the developers simply make this available from 9.0?
i would rather we just get All 4 of the covenant theme abilities as baseline options outside of talent trees.
(else those soul shapes need to also go into the Feral Druid/ Travel form pool of options.)
whats the point of all the collecting if you cant enjoy the collection?
I would support, but as a minimum, I hope they make it a toy to use in safe zones at least and it has no cd (obviously a cd if they allow it in the open world, but not some 15 min or hour long one they seem to love)

Thank you! Itāll be interesting to see what the devs come up with.
Sometimes it simply didnāt cross their mind in the large portion of other things they were considering & trying to juggle.

Iām wondering if you could buy a tome from the Night Fae vendor to access all soulshapes for Druids and Shamans. I feel all other classes should have some manner of inclusitivity to the shapes but, Iām not opposed to Shamans getting some attention.
Now I think about itā¦ I think the last time Blizzard gave them exclusive treatment was in SoO with the dark shaman tmog? I could be wrong.
I can appreciate the honesty; it is fitting to your name/race after all somewhat.

They already have the system in place for Druids, itās not to hard to finally let Shamans customise their Ghost Wolf Forms to animals of their choosing.
Iād love to personalise my form to be a Gryphon, as I have currently as a Night Fae, and by gosh it took me forever to unlock it doing Rated PVP. My biggest upset is that itās going to go away in a few months and just a be a wish I could have this backā¦.
So yes, at minimum I agree, a Barbershop option Iād love, of course it should have the limitations of being only the Soulshapes youāve unlocked in Shadowlands so people whoāve put more time and effort to get them have a way to show off on their Shamans!!.
In a perfect world Iād love to also change feral spirits too, but Iād rather take a bite of the sandwich then the whole thing atleast 
Yup. And soulshape was basically ripping off ghost wolf to everyone!

Soā¦ Being only Level 10 itās clear I have no idea what these āSoul shapesā are, but from context they seem to be a covenant ability of some kind that can be used by all classes that seems to function similar to a Shamanās Ghost Wolf. Is that correct?
Are they only usable in Shadowlands content, or can they be used in other zones? Also is it limited to Night Fae players? As I have an idea where it could be utilized. If they are only usable in Shadowlands, then let us use it when in the shadowlands. I donāt just mean while doing Shadowlands content.
When our characters die they go into the shadowlands yes? Thatās that swirly Vortex we see in the skybox as we run back to our bodies since Vanilla. Well Night Elves have had their wisp forms since then and I think they get a speed boost as well from it. So, while maybe not ideal, perhaps giving our characters their own āSoul shapesā for use during corps runs.

Theyāre a covenant ability. They let you transform into a ghost animal for a bit and teleport around.

Yes please!
Iām leveling a Shaman right now and I never really liked Ghost Wolf that much.
My idea? Or was there one I missed?
I think heās referring to the general idea
If blizzard would stop being lazy with Inscription, imagine all of potential options. They just donāt want to implement them.

They are a thing in Dragonflight, actually, because Shadowlands will exist forever whether people like that or not lmao, and because we know that it will have recieved new functioning covenant abilities at launch for Dracthyr.
What probably will not be functioning anywhere but Shadowlands zones, are class abilities. For signature abilities, we actually have no idea what theyre doing. They could be bound to shadowlands. They could not be. They could be used beyond shadowlands, but have new severe limitations. We donāt know anything, except our neverending gut feeling/assumption that Blizzard is anti-fun and whatever you think theyāre going to, will be the worst possible option. Sometimes we are suprised but this is rare, so. Best to lower the bar of whatever expectation you have.
However, āTHAT SAIDā lol, they absolutely will not be removed altogether because some qeuests there rely on them. So theyāre pretty baked in. Whether or not you can leave with those cookies and eat them in other places than Shadowlands or not is kept under wraps pretty hard.
I think I remember a dev quote a while back saying something about āfiguring outā the future of soulshape in particular while moving into new expansions, because they like it too or something like that.
