Worgen Form for Cat Form for Worgen Druids

I’m certain this has been brought up before, but since we’ve been getting more and more Druid forms over the years, I thought I’d bring up the request to allow Feral (and maybe Guardian) Worgen Druids to use their Worgen Form in place of their cat/bear form.

Starting off, lore wise, Worgen Druids already have the ability to do this. The Worgen Curse originated from a bunch of Night Elves trying to make a form inspired by Goldrinn, creating “Pack Form,” which was too ferocious to control and they were banished to the Emerald Dream. Fast Forward a few thousand years, the abnormally Druidic Humans of Gilneas happen to be afflicted with the Worgen Curse, but figure out a way to control it. As a result, Worgen Druids aren’t really Worgen Druids at all, they’re human Druids with Pack Form. With the addition of the toggle to return to human form after combat or leaving a shapeshift form, Worgen Druids inch even closer to being Human Druids with an additional cosmetic option. I think it would be fantastic for that cosmetic form to be applied to other shapeshift forms to show the mastery of a Worgen Druid over their Worgen Form.

Secondly, from a gameplay standpoint, we’ve already had this sort of model applied to the Cat Form, with the Claws of Shirvallah talent from WoD (which you bet I used on my Feral Druid back in the day). In a perfect world, I wouldn’t want my Worgen to be on all-fours all the time while in Pack Form, ideally they’d be upright unless they were moving at +100% movement speed or higher (like when using Dash + the cat form buff), but that’s not important. This would also enable players to play a Worgen character like Genn or other Worgen characters who just rip into people with their claws. I’ve seen people request this for Fury Warriors too, and I think that should be added as well. I just think that, since a Feral Druid specializes in using claws to rip people apart, it doesn’t make much sense for a Worgen Druid to transform into a much smaller cat when they already have much larger claws in their much stronger Pack Form, which they are always in.

The Zandalari Trolls get to turn into Dinosaurs, let me rip people’s throats out with my teeth.

It has never made sense that worgen Druids shifted into cat form to deal damage lol. It would be so cool to play a feral worgen that stayed in worgen form to attack.

If you use the toy that turns you into an eredar it does exactly this, the cat and bear abilities are used in eredar form and he claws about with his hands. If I can use a lore breaking toy and do it, my existing pack form should be able to do it. We can even call it non canon if it makes blizz happy.

How are there not more replies to this? Every Worgen Druid should be banging the table for this option.

Hey Blizz, this might even earn you a little more race change revenue, and we know how much you love that!

Take it a step further and use one of the beefier wolf models for bear form, please.

I would say, I would really enjoy this because you could still have your armor that you worked for showing, just like balance with the glyph. 10/10 idea.
