2.3 Druid Change: From form to formFollow

OH YEAH! :D

Yup, single click shifting will be cool. Already get there with macros, but what the hell, one click is better than two. : )

There's a very nice change for us in the Leatherworking section, too:
"Drums can now be used while shapeshifted."

I've not even been acquiring these patterns because of the inability to use them in forms. Gives me a new reason to like and stick with LW, especially since you need fairly high LW skill to use them. Drums of Panic (5-yard AoE fear 5 targets for 2 seconds) will come in handy for tanking and Drums of War (+60 AP and +30 spell damage for whole party for 30 seconds) will give us a nice new mini combat buff. Drums of Battle increases haste rating by 80 for 30 seconds.

The other leatherworking changes are pretty cool, too, although not druid-specific.
- Reduced the faction required to obtain Drums of Battle and Drums of Panic.
- A new recipe is available from Grand Master leatherworking trainers to make a 20 slot bag to hold leatherworking supplies.
- The ogres in the barrier hills are rumored to have a pattern for a 24 slot bag to hold leatherworking supplies.

uhm, we still have to change to caster before we change to an other form.... right? or else ill be even more happy! :D

so this is basically a HUGE pvp buff for druids...

like you folks needed this change. :(

Any druids that could destroy you before can still do so, except with less custom macros to allow quick form changing. :p

This changes nothing for play styles or other such nonsense. What it DOES do is allow me to actually Bash-shift out and heal-shift back without taking a single hit (macroing the whole sequence never worked, and thanks to manual lag I never could do it without taking one hit from the mob that just broke out of the Bash stun).

I think it only works if you're in a shapeshift form and using an ability for caster. I don't think spamming lacerate would get you back in bear.

I'm pondering all of this now. Shifting to caster does not cause a global cooldown, so clicking an ability should result in an instant use of it practically as the shift animation is happening. But shifting to your other forms does cause a GCD, so does that mean the click would shift you, but do nothing else, or shift, wait for GCD, then use it, or...what?
