Forsaken Shaman Elemental Glyphs (Concept Art)

Recommended Posts

V665oO2.jpeg

Reddit user Fishbones06 created concept art of Forsaken Shamans, totems, and Elemental glyphs.

Let us pretend for a second that the Undead could roll Shamans. Fishbones06's idea of tombstone totems is simply brilliant.

The Glyph of the Reanimated Tombstone (in the bottom right corner) replaces the Earth Elemental with a Reanimated Tomb Elemental.

Glyph of the Burning Blight replaces the Fire Elemental with a Burning Blight Elemental.

What do you think about the concept? Let us know in the comments down below!

That reanimated tombstone is pro. I really do not understand why Blizzard is not rolling with this idea. The customization glyphs coming from the community have been excellent.

I also think the message from the community is clear- we want greater class identity that we can express through visual customizations we can chose. That's why the class halls were so popular and Legion worked so well.

The issue with class skins is that they could potentially cause some visual confusion. For example if different colors of aoe spells might make them easily mistaken for a different class. Anyway, since they said they have plans to eventually enable most classes to all races (seems like the only exceptions will be DH and Evoker), this might actually come one day, although totem's appearance will likely be the only unique thing about these.

It'd be nice to see the steps taken to allow for more race/class combinations in the world itself. For example, seeing various NPCs running around doing tasks reminiscent to the old class questlines as a lead up to releasing new race/class combos. I doubt a lot of people would ever see it, after all how many max level players go to the barrens(?), but it'd be a nice little touch.

The concept of Undead Shamans or Druids alone is questionable. Monks too, I guess.

Shamans work with four basic elements and Spirit/Life to harmonize them. Undead using Light, I can see. Undead using Life, which is heavily utilized by those three classes - I can't.

In case of Shamans, though, there are Dark Shamans, like those Garrosh used, who substitute Life with Decay, which can fit thematically. But such practices are basically tainting and subduing the Elements by force, and Shamans hold such practices barbaric and extremely dangerous, as it angers the Elements. When Garrosh used them, one is even described it as inviting another Cataclysm upon Azeroth.

The green one is basicly fel though, which doesn't make much sense. Too similar. The tombstone is perfect.

Perhaps a different shade of green would work better there, since green is also used for nature/druid magic.

I mean, they let goblins be shamans - and their explanation for them to do so seemed pretty stretchy.

Elemental Capitalism you mean? 😄

They should have gone hog wild with the concept, and had their DPS, HPS and totems' power rise and fall through supply and demand.

Probably 😄
Thought the same about Goblin Priests. Then I saw that 'exorcism' quest in Azshara. By far one of the most hillarious quests I did in WoW.

I think this is fantastic. I love this guy's stuff, but this is the best he's done in my opinion. Lorewise it's wacky as hell -- but the visuals here are so good it sells the concept to me. I suspend my disbelief without even having to hear the explanation, because the visuals explain in and of themselves

Blizzard really stabs themselves in the back with customisation. People lap up every little scrap that's thrown. They should go wild with glyphs.

      Dragonflight Season 4 starts today, check out our updated to-do list to find out what's new!
      New Content Available This Week
      Awakened Raids are now available! The first Awakened raid this week is Vault of the Incarnates! Proiritize clearing Vault for Season 4 loot and your first Antique Bronze Bullion. The first Catalyst charge is available today, but make sure to use it after you clear Awakened Vault to see how many tier set pieces you've acquired after your run. The final boss drops an omnitoken that all classes can roll for. Killing the final boss on Heroic Difficulty yields a token that you can exchange for 1 class set piece. Click here to learn more about Awakened Class Set acquisition methods! The item level of loot from all sources has gone up by +39 item levels in Season 4. Time Rifts, Fyrakk Assaults, and Dreamsurges now all offer better loot, compared to Season 3. If you own Fyr'alath or Nasz'uro, you can upgrade the legendaries to their S4 base Item Level (502) using Scale of Awakening that costs 2 Antique Bronze Bullion, but you can only get 1 this week. You can still upgrade S3 gear, but you can no longer acquire S3 crests. New crests are available for gear upgrading. You will find the gear upgrading brackets in our guide. New rewards await in Mythic+ Season 4! The latest PvP season also introduces new rewards and better gear. This week's bonus event is Burning Crusade Timewalking You can clear dungeons to unlock slots in the Great Vault alongside Item Level 467 loot! Complete 5 Timewalking Quests for the weekly quest to receive 1 piece of item level 493+ loot. Clear Black Temple Timewalking forI Item Level 493 loot. DHs who earned both warglaives the regular way can now obtain the Weapon Arsenal from Illidan which lets them use the legendaries for transmog. Thanks to the increased reputation buff, it's super fast this week to reach Revered with the Netherwing and add some cool mounts to your collection! In Shadowlands Season 4, we've seen Fated World Bosses, but it doesn't seem to be the case with Dragonflight Season 4, so it's not really worth killing World Bosses.
    • By Stan
      Here's a reminder for all Demon Hunters! Since it's Burning Crusade Timewalking you can earn Arsenal: The Warglaives of Azzinoth from Illidan if you earned the weapons the regular way!
      Make sure to run Timewalking Black Temple on your Demon Hunter this week if you've unlocked the Warglaives of Azzinoth achievement with a character that can equip them.
      You need to collect both warglaives to use them for transmog and to unlock the “I'll Hold These For You Until You Get Out” achievement.
      Remember, achievement credit isn't shared across your account, so you must obtain both weapons with the same character.
      If you haven't acquired the regular warglaives yet, now is a great time to start farming them. That way, you'll be prepared to grab the Arsenal at the next Burning Crusade Timewalking event.

      It's super easy to go from Hated to Revered with the Netherwing faction during the Burning Crusade Timewalking event, and the reputation buff helps you unlock six awesome mounts fast!
      Sign of the Twisting Nether is active this week and the buff increases Burning Crusade reputation gains from combat and quests by 50%, which means you can skip the tedious Netherwing grind.
      Normally, you would go from Hated to Neutral with the Netherwing faction upon completing the questline that unlocks the faction.
      With Sign of the Twisting Nether, you will go from Hated straight to Revered! If you haven't done the questline yet, now's the best time to do so!
      Where to Start the Netherwing Questline?
      You can start the questline at the crystals south of Warden's Cage in Shadowmoon Valley, where you must talk to a High Elf quest-giver named Mordenai wandering around the crystals. You will find more information here.
      At Exalted with the Netherwind faction, you will receive one Netherwing mount for free and can buy the rest for 200 Gold from the vendor in Shattrath City.
      The available mounts are listed below:
      Reins of the Azure Netherwing Drake Reins of the Cobalt Netherwing Drake Reins of the Onyx Netherwing Drake Reins of the Purple Netherwing Drake Reins of the Veridian Netherwing Drake Reins of the Violet Netherwing Drake Here's a screenshot to better illustrate their appearance.

      Season 4 has partially started on NA servers, as players are noticing elements of the new season popping up. This is actually planned and was announced by Blizzard, as you can see below, but players were not expecting this much to change before the reset. 
      Season 4 (Source)
      Dragonflight Season 3 will be ending April 22 at 10:00 p.m. PDT, the night before the regularly scheduled maintenance, with Dragonflight Season 4 beginning immediately following on April 23. The blue post indicated that the season should start soon after, on the 23rd, which presumably means after the weekly reset. Here are some of the things that have already changed.
      Players have been reporting various aspects of the season being in-game, starting with Season 3 items now being marked as legacy, with a grey tooltip, as spotted by Strosts:

      Source. 
      Crests and Flightstones have also been reset, with new ones dropping from World Quests.
      Catalyst charges are also now in Season 4 mode, as spotted by lemoncocoapuff.
