Shadow Form and Moonkin Form are buttons to click, after you res, to see if you’re paying attention. The forms themselves are just passive stat buffs you can fail to pick up if you’re not paying attention. What’s the point of this? Does it serve any function?
We get rid of so many perfunctory buttons and unnecessary mechanics. Why not remove the buffs from these forms?
Leave the forms in for the inevitable “I suddenly love RP because you’re suggesting a change” people, but bake the stats and buffs into the spec itself.
It allows people such as myself who would like to have shadow form (well old shadow form really, I prefer that one) to still show as shadow form without removing the toggle effect to have to be in shadow form to cast your rotation.
yes, lets remove moonkin form so that Balance Druids can cast all healing spells while having the same armor value of a tank… and keeping the massive crit and haste bonuses.
moonkin form isnt some fire and forget thing. you have to play the stance dance.
But in the OP I say it’s fine to keep the forms in the game, just remove the buffs from the forms. So I’m not sure what the glyph would do. Add stats? I don’t think that’s what glyphs are meant for.
Or, you can take my shadowform from my cold dead shadow covered hands.
There are macros/Weak Auras you can make to keep yourself from forgetting, or blizzard can just make them persist through death but a large reason a lot of people even play these specs is the forms.
