As per the title, we need more druid forms that aren’t Night Elf centric.
Whether it be:
Some awesome kodo-inspired looking bear forms
New ‘Cat Form’ Sabertusk forms, with animations & such
New animated Drust forms
Yeti bearform … Because why not?
More variations on the Zandalari Boomkin form.
And perhaps finally give us raptor form — as a catform … Not travel.
… a handful of forms that have armour logos that aren’t a moon, wouldn’t hurt either Such as voodoo masks, their respective animal face symbol or even the stars for a change.
Personally I think these would be great as the other druid races could use more wiggle-room for lore relevance in the future.
And most importantly:
NOT TAMEABLE BY HUNTERS!!
What are some exciting druid ideas you guys have – that doesn’t really revolve around the Emerald Dream, Elune or the Night Elf themes?
Once upon a time, long ago in the annals of WoW (ie: (pre)Vanilla), Druid shapeshifting was supposed to be tied to the zone they were in. So, every zone would use the equivalent of each form we currently use.
I’m guessing they realized just how much work that would entail and just gave us bear, cat, moonkin, cheetah, etc.
The technology has made leaps and bounds in game design, so maybe it’s time to revisit that idea.
I’m still upset they went so hard on all the Kul’tiran druid forms except the boomkin. I was hoping they would basically be that drust model (the one based off the troll rig) that model has all the animations needed - would work for boomkin form - etc. Instead its… whatever that boomkin is supposed to be.
Well, if you go back to Vanilla when we actually had class content, you got your forms directly from NE-aligned wild gods. Zandalari and Kul Tiran show what it would look like to have more race-specific forms that reflect their culture and where they live.
we need more things that are night elf-centric tbh. we haven’t got a full night elf expansion yet, and i think we could really use one. let’s go back to the war of the ancients. for… reasons.
More forms representing the diversity of life on Azeroth would be nice. They don’t even really have to focus on animations because they haven’t done much of that anyway. Blizzard could retroactively drop the Marks to learn new forms in druid relevant places including: Broken Isles, Zandalar, Highmountain, Mulgore/Barrens, plus Night Elf areas on Kalimdor. I’d add Gilneas but not sure if the undead of the surrounding lands fits the druid motif but we do have Drust forms.
A change up would be nice. I also think Worgens need their own druid forms, completely centered around being a big, badass, werewolf; not some wolf -cat-bear hybrid
How about “Night Elf Form”? Those dumb night elves would be absolutely fuming if druids were given a form that doesn’t even cosmetically effect them because they’re already Night Elves, so while other races get a ‘new’ shapeshift form, Night Elves wouldn’t be ‘getting’ anything.
Thoughts?
Suggestions about how druid dragon form should be part of a druid’s kit? I’ve put a lot of thought into it, and I’m actually not sure there’s any down-side to dragon druids.
But all of WoW revolves around Night Elf Druids. According to lore ,we are responsible for inventing the following great things that changed WoW forever:
Borrowed Power
Trade Chat
Level Scaling
Pathfinder
WoW Tokens
The Great Vault
A WoW without Night Elf Druids is inconceivable. Heck I bet the Night Elves invented Druids so we need more night elf druid forms.
“Things” – Sure.
Druids however, isn’t one of them.
Everytime there’s druid related content it’s shoehorned to Night Elves.
We have more Horde races with druids and they’re barely in anything, aside from perhaps Hamuul Runetotem, but even he’s kind of a Night Elf support character. lol
Not to mention like I said, aside from being very Night Elf Centric — The druid lore is also very focussed on the Emerald Dream. It’d be cool for the other races to get more shining moments with their respective lore themes, for example:
Kul’Tirans to get some shine moment with Drusts becoming a threat again – or the Gnoll ‘Decatriarch Wratheye’ make a return with powerful decay magic & armies of undead that decay other undead not aligned to them to crumbling messes that the Ebon Blade can’t seem to penetrade, thus the Drust-like druids come in to help & save the day.
Trolls & Zandalari – Have some loa themes & quests, with one of their few orders of their followers being druids (order of Gonk, the Raptor loa) and having them lead the charge against what’s threatening them or what provide assistance with even other classes (still situated with the loa & troll themes) to overcome their difficulties and bring forth an epic moment — like Vol’Jin using the ‘spark of Rezan’ to surprisingly revive him into the world once more.
Things that actually help give room for other races to shine with their respective classes, and use them to emphasise other stories that aren’t based around the elves or typical human tropes. More stories upon classes that are uncommon and a refreshing change in theme for once.
Such as voodoo masks, their respective animal face symbol or even the stars for a change.
TAMEABLE
