Hope for a new form in WoTLK?Follow

hmm,

shark form would be cool, especially if you had an underwater stealth

maybe an dire cat form?, that looks like a ferocious flesh hungry saber tooth tiger.
also bigger then our current cat...oh yeah
maybe a new dragon form, at the end of the balance tree, one that focuses completly on AOE(but has almost no single target spells, to keep moonkin popular)

actually it's shammies who are the ones who are the storm/earth/fire/rain guys

druids are all treehugging which means no water or fire

First, I would like Blizzard to give us an option to personalise our forms. We could become a polar bear and frost sabre, or a reddish bear and a cat-form similar to that of the lynx, or yellow-ish bears and lions. An option to show a difference between males and females characters would be great.

Second thing I want is larger forms. We should be able to see our Dire Bears. The normal bear sprite sucks for Dire Bears. Any bear from lvl 30+ is larger than our form. It's creepy to think of my character as a meat shield when there is much less meat compared to normal mobs. LOL

Third, we should get a new travel form. It is nice to shapeshift and go instead of using a mount. It could replace lvl 40, lvl 60 and on. Of course we would have to pay for it but that would be well worth it.

Fourth, they could let us get a predatory form as a prize for going all the way down the Feral tree. Nightsabre, Raptor, Dire Wolf, something that's larger than the normal cat-form would be really nice. I myself would love to get a Swift Mistsaber form =D

Well, if they don't like the idea of a real predator's form, they could make us a were-form ^^. Weretigers, werelions, wereraptors, werebears... Anything like that ^^

Interesting thought about the Were-forms. I was always a fan of the Diablo II druid, but the WoW druid has caught my heart too.

One thing that immediately comes to mind is that this would (should) allow Feral druid to use items in their forms since they would be humanoid. Maybe a minor stats boost beyond what the bear/cat forms normally grant while in that form as well (and possibly weapon use like Moonkin, however, that could be bad seeing as most Ferals have ignored their weapon skills :) ).

Its an interesting idea, just not sure how it'd be implemented.

And...Dragonform FTW.

Furbolg or owlkin form! I've always wanted them to be a race oneday, but if i can turn into one with a druid or tame one with a hunter then its cool with me.

I am thinking that a snake form would be a possibility (WC anyone?) Perhaps it will have AoE attacks as said above? I have to say that the quillboar idea was also awsome, the prospect of ranged DPS without mana on a non-huntard confounds me. Or the generic dragon form with aireal attacks to kill other players on flying mounts :P (now I'm dreaming)

i dont need a new melee form, however a dire cat form would be kickass.

make it look like some big dangerous ferocious sabre tooth frost tiger.
and, make the looks of dire bear form more impressive, maybe a bigger pole-bear

cow form

hooray for milk
water sucks

The were-bear/cat/whatever idea is pretty bad imo. Being a lesser rogue which can be sapped and polyed doesn't really appeal to me.

Yeah Porcupine form sounds pretty good. But where would it go? Feral Combat? They should update the abilities in the Feral Tree then. Like Mangle would still be the same attack for Cat/Bear forms but it would also add an ability for Porcupine form.

@hybrand: said this some posts ago^^ would make us the main-healer we should be

i dont want a new form. i just want that great cat spirit in moonglade to be worth a damn thing finally.

Insect Form.
That is all.

I'd like to be able to personalize the models somewhat, especially bear and cat. I'd like to see battle scars, tattoos, different fur colors and styles - things like that (It may even convince me to roll a tauren as I don't particularly care for the cruddy yellow fur their cats get - it just doesn't seem 'stealthy'). Honestly, how often are balance and feral druids in 'caster' form? If Wrath is going to offer character personalization beyond what's already available, why not in the areas where it's going to be most commonly seen by the player? After all, (s)he spends a good chunk of his/her time looking at a shapeshifted form as a druid.

I'd like to be able to go beyond simple cosmetic changes - for example take how you run in bearform. I'd like to be able to give my bear a noticeable limp as he favors one of his front legs from years of battle as it may have been broken or even shattered on more than one occasion. I'd like to give my cat bloodstained and worn tusks (horns for you tauren druids) from years of digging them into enemies - as well as seeing his claws retract when not in battle. Moonkins could have ruffled, muddy and missing feathers that could glow or have some kind of effect (shimmer, sparkle, etc) from the residue off of their magical abilities when used at close range.
