The new Shaman Ascendance forms

Patch 11.0.5 introduces a second set of updated Ascendance forms for Shamans, replacing the existing 12-year-old transformation models. These new designs come with improved textures and a fresh aesthetic. While the first set of updates was met with mixed reactions, this update has potentially addressed all player concerns. The new Shaman Ascendance forms offers more options to suit different preferences.

The second set of Shaman forms models introduces notable alterations compared to the earlier version. Firstly, the most significant changes include a more refined hair design, a skeletal face that now appears more elemental, and armor that includes a helmet and pauldrons reminiscent of the Shaman’s Ten Storms Tier 2 set. These adjustments are designed to evoke a more classic Shamanic look, particularly appealing to long-time players who favor traditional designs.

Shaman customization through Glyphs

Additionally, players will also gain access to new glyphs, allowing further customization of their Shaman Ascendance forms. The Glyph of Energetic Ascendance will enable players to retain the first set of new models. Alternatively, the Glyph of Traditional Ascendance offers the option to use the original, hooded forms. This addition ensures that players can choose from a variety of looks, catering to both those who enjoy the new designs and those who prefer a more classic style.

Community reaction and expectations

The response to the new set of Ascendance forms has been overwhelmingly positive. Moreover, the added ability to customize Shaman Ascendance forms via glyphs has many player at rest. Many players see this as a step in the right direction, with hopes that further Shaman customization options will be introduced in future patches. Players are expecting further customization similar to the Druid customization overhaul seen in Patch 10.2.

With Patch 11.0.5, World of Warcraft continues to improve customization options for Shamans, allowing players to choose how their characters appear in battle. The new Shaman Ascendance forms and glyphs are set to bring a fresh experience to gameplay, making it a highly anticipated update.
