Comment by regma Looks fun. I'm also liking the newer forms as the moonkins forms. (bout time lol)

Also why is some screenshots either don't look like the 3D model or, in the worgen's case, missing on the bear form? Comment by Interest I really enjoy Druids now. There's just so much utility that changes with specialization (and works well) =)\r
\r
It's not enough for me to main it, but still. Comment by ROCKSTEPH At first, I didn't like the whole "hybrid aspects" druids were getting with MoP. But, having experienced 5.0.4, I'm really looking forward to these new abilities and see how people play with these abilities. Comment by Dyingsoul Well druids had a lot of the same style play in TBC and late Vanilla such as "Dreamkins" ,who could heal and dps in raids within one spec, but it does seem like Blizz is trying to cut out the cookie cutter specs. Comment by Abura I really don't get the Symbioses thing. Could someone explain what exactly is explained in the chart too me? Comment by Voltt Really like the druid sets.\r
\r
Balance is pretty fun right now, and I love chillin out in Org in travel form. \/sleep and \/sit is amazing. Comment by ESSaturn I can't find Revitalize in my spellbook... Comment by Wutchu I really don't get the Symbioses thing. Could someone explain what exactly is explained in the chart too me?\r
\r
The top chart is the spell that the druid will give to the class he cast Symbiosis on. And the second chart is the spell that the recipient of Symbiosis will grant the druid.\r
\r
Basically If you have a Guardian Druid and a Blood Dk, the druid will gain Bone Shield and the Dk would gain Might of Ursoc. Depending on the spec you have selected for each class the spell you gain from the druid will change. \r

Hope my explanation makes sense. Comment by rabbitboi I really don't get the Symbioses thing. Could someone explain what exactly is explained in the chart too me?

Druids get two abilities: put Symbiosis on a raid\/party member, and activate Symbiosis ability. The person you cast it on gets an activate Symbiosis ability too (they get a button in their spellbook they can drag to their hotbar). Each of you copies an ability that the other has (or similar to it), without losing access to your own. What you get depends on your spec, and what they get can depend on their spec.

So if I'm a kitty, and with my two friends Frostymcfrosterson who's an arcane mage, and Frostycoldice who's an unholy death knight, I have my choice of getting either Frost Nova or Death Coil. If I give it to the mage, they get Healing Touch, and the dk gets nothing from me. If I give it to the dk, they get plagued mushrooms, and the mage gets nothing.

It's up to you whether you want to be selfish and choose based on what cool ability you want, or if you want to be nice and grant an extra ability that will help out the raid. Like if there's a movement phase with no adds up but unavoidable aoe damage, having a warlock helping to spam the raid with rejuv wouldn't be a bad idea.

The chart is big and I'll totally forget it. If you're unsure, just give Symbiosis to the tank, and they'll get an extra damage mitigation cooldown. Comment by Keelerak Mists of asymmetric shoulders. Heck, Blizz must really, really hate OCDers. Comment by Interest Mists of asymmetric shoulders. Heck, Blizz must really, really hate OCDers.\r

It's funny, isn't it? =) Comment by Jeaz I really wished they'd add a glyph for making Travel form add 100% movement speed like a normal mount. Obviously, this would come at the cost of not being able to use it in combat and the glyph wouldn't work in Battlegrounds and Arenas. Comment by alxndr Better yet, allow travel form to be used indoors. As it is, if you can use a mount, travel form is pretty much useless. Anywhere you can use travel form you can mount up and go faster. Also, with the growing number of multi-person mounts in the game, the usefulness of the glyph that allows a party member to ride you in your travel form loses its value also.

I like this, actually. Maybe just tie it into the Stag Form glyph. Comment by Rystrave Nooo, the moonkin bums! I love the moonkin bums. Comment by Dwarfiesgosquish Those sets are horrible. They look like China threw up on an anthropomorphic... Lion? Wolf? Bulldog? What the hell is the helmet?

I wouldn't like this at all... lol

Some of the models have changed during beta. The stag, for example, doesn't look the same now as it did when that YouTube video was made. Comment by perculia The thumbnail model image is automatically generated by the model viewer. Clicking on it should show the armor + the bear. We could manually override the thumbnail with coding in screenshots, but it takes a lot of time with all the cropping and coding, and what we had seemed to be a decent preview.

I'll add a description of Symbiosis at the top for those confused :)

Oh also, the green squares on the Challenge Mode set are a model viewer glitch, it's how it reacts in general to armor with glowy particle effects (see Valorous Nightsong Headguard). Comment by Griffter I think it's hilarious that Glyph of the Treant is available to all specs. My balance druid can just hang out as a tree between fights, then switch to Sparkly Elf form to dps. Comment by ZliS I still hope and think that there is a mistake between shaman and druid pve set. Feather and crow-styled shaman set vs animal-masked and runed druid (more solid (for Mail armor) and with power well on shoulder) set.
