wow Forsaken Shaman Elemental Glyphs (Concept Art)

[Stan 5,240]

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.

That's not how this works.

That's not how any of this works.

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

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.

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.

Omg I forgot about that quest. One of the funniest quests ever. Trying to tame the ol battleaxe!
