So, I can cast almost everything from my visage form while healing outside of a select few “dragon” talents. It would be really nice if, should I already be in visage form, my casted dragon talents could revert me back to my visage. I don’t ALWAYS want to be a dragon in combat and I feel this would be kind of nice. Or some similar option at least, a toggle… idk

You have a toggle.
Leaving combat you turn back.
It is a GCD to turn back in combat. Are you willing to spend that?
As far as I know Living Flame spam doesn’t break Visage but any of the Flight or Breath attacks breaks it as it would look silly coming out of the Visage I guess.
Demon hunters do this with Eye Beam: change forms briefly, then back when the spell is over. So its already in game to perform automatically.
I also would prefer to play the class in visage form as much as possible. I understand the spells centered around fire breathing, but some of the other limitations dont quite jibe with me, such as blue and green casts automatically change you to dragon form. But bronze and Living Flame is okay? I dont see the drawback in staying in visage form for anything that isnt breathing fire.

If they fix our casting animations and battle stance then I’m all for this, if left as is I’m not.
We default to fists melee stance rather then a caster stance, and Spiritbloom and Time Dilation cast animation gets punched out rather defaulting to the Blood Elf Male and Human Female casting.
Bothers me so much as visage I’m ready to brawl as a caster, and punching spells out looks so horrible.
If they fix that, then yes I’d love this idea as a glyph option for those who prefer Visage Form.

This bothers me so much when I’m applying buffs. Monks had their own unique animations, and it’s wild they went with melee for evokers.

The problem is the toggle doesn’t always work.
For example, if you cast Hover, you turn into dragon form and stay there. Chosen Visage does not revert you back even after the effect wears off and you exit combat.
Seriously it bothers me so much.
It truely makes me feel Evokers were rushed out. We are riddled with bugs, certain talents are not working properly, we are casters that default to melee fisticuffs, literally punching out abilities.
I’d support this idea 100%, but once everything gets fixed. We truely have a long road ahead of us.

FWIW, if you want to see what the spells would look like coming out of a humanoid, simply use Orb of Sin’dorei. You get 5 minutes of seeing what every single spell looks like, Deep Breath and all.
Spoilers: They look fine, really, except maybe Hover (in which strafing just makes you stand there). Fire Breath is just a normal directional cast, and Tail Swipe / Wing Buffet are monk-ish looking spin kick type things.

If it happens that you still hover while combat ends that is intended…
because you can’t hover without wings
Major part is the ending combat part
I’ve noticed this with hover. You can blow it off out of combat altogether and it still won’t interact. Bummer but I’m ok with it personally
What’s not good is when Hover ends. And you’re still in Dragon form. You have to manually click Visage to go back to Visage form. Chosen Visage seems pointless when it only works half the time.

the toggle should work like demon hunters, so we swap back after so we spend as little as possible in dragon form.
Just for comparisons sake …
DH’s actively want to stay in their Metamorphosis.
Evoker have to be in their Dragon Form to cast their spells.
that is entirely different…
And yet again No Other Dragon fights in Visage form …
They should change it so they dont have to be. I use toys to change my appearance and the only spell that looks weird without dragon form is the deep breath.
I know its different but the difference between DH and Dacthyr is most people think dracthyr are ugly
The Whole Evoker Discord loves the Dracthyr …
And I doubt anyone cares…
especially as you shouln’t look at your model anyway during combat

I mean that is a bias take, obviously people playing evoker dont mind the dragon form. Go to any IGN or youtube announcement trailer to see plenty of people that dont like the dragon form. Most people think it looks goofy, obviously the evoker form thinks it looks great but that is a tiny percentage of people, There opinion is likely not the majority.
Same as the Opinion that Dracthyr are ugly
its more likely that the evoker discord has a minority opinion you know, just based off the fact that most people are not die hard enough evoker fans to be on a evoker discord so its more likely they have a minority opinion. Like i said, you could spend 5 minutes going to youtube or the initial launch leak to see reddit comments on it asking if it was a joke and how silly it looks.
That was the Majority of comments too. Feel free to check them out.
