Glory to the moonkin! Since the initial release of information, transmogrification has pretty much been the dominating topic around the WoW sphere. Naturally, being a druid, I really didn’t care much about it. That’s untrue. In fact, I went through what I’ve coined as the five stages of druid patch notes:

Excitement

Realization that it doesn’t matter to me

Deep depression

Angry resentment

Giving up, defeated

Any time that Blizzard makes some new fun, silly project for the game, these are the exact steps that I follow. All those neat transformation items? Worthless. Pretty new mounts? Please, I already have Flight Form keybound and it’s instant; why would I need anything else? Suffice to say, druids always do seem to get left out of all the reindeer games — that is, of course, unless you’re a restoration druid. Trees don’t, well, have to be trees. They stay unshifted, which is the downfall of all other druid specs.

I’m not alone in this, and the introduction of transmogrification has brought about a new surge of players asking for the removal of Moonkin Form. This week, we’ll lend an ear to those complaints.Continue reading Shifting Perspectives: On the matter of Moonkin FormFiled under: Druid, (Druid) Shifting PerspectivesShifting Perspectives: On the matter of Moonkin Form originally appeared on WoW Insider on Fri, 26 Aug 2011 16:00:00 EST.
