Wildhammer Dwarf DRUIDS

[Moonstream]

Of all the current races that could possibly be considered allied, they probably make the most sense. The only other contenders I can think of would be pandaren and maybe humans to a lesser extent.

I don't think they would be the most popular choice but it would still be nice to have the option, especially if they give them something really cool like they are supposedly doing with the new trolls.

I kind of have a hard time believing they would though. That would mean that either we get another dwarf as the allied race or they just give it to the regular dwarves; (this may no longer be a thing now) but hasnt blizz said they want to avoid giving any one race access to all classes?

Hey I saw a Tauren Boomkin the other day and thought "A Wildhammer Gryphon/Moonkin would look amazing!" so I threw a mock-up together with claws for hands and Dwarven beard (I thought the blue-tattoos were a bit much):



Doesn't that look incredible for the gryphon-loving Wildhammer? I'd play it.

[Khrux]

Except Moonkin is a dead form, it got a texture touch up going into Legion but otherwise the only change between races is the colour. Don't expect Wildhammer or any race to get a unique Moonkin form. Theres a reason Blizz added a glyph to just remove the form.

someone thought about it, there's a nice transmog on WoWhead:

While Wildhammers wouldn't historically have druids, since their naturalism was previously represented through the shaman class, I wouldn't be against it. It would make sense that contact with the night elves through the Alliance could have taught it to them, and they could have some really cool gryphon-inspired forms.

Biggest issue with Wildhammer dwarves, is the fact that they were almost wiped out in Legion.

Off-screen. It's mentioned as part of the Shaman Order Hall campaign: "According to Stormcaller Mylra, as of the Burning Legion's latest invasion the Twilight Highlands are overrun and the Wildhammer clan has been scattered.[1]" https://wow.gamepedia.com/Wildhammer_clan#Legion

Void Elves now exist. Any argument of population Size affecting race choice is null and void(heh).

Yeah, such a big issue, something that happened off screen and isn't even clear what exactly happened. Scattered and overrun doesn't mean "almost wiped out" anyway. It's a non-issue.

The biggest issue is that Wildhammer Dwarves don't exist in lore, but that can (and should) be made up anyway. Druids need more race options - and honestly, allowing non-elf races for more class options is a good thing as well.

Scattered, not shattered. That means they did not get wiped out, since there'd be nobody left to scatter.

Besides, there's also Aerie Peak. Not all Wildhammer live in TH.

Sure do. War of the three Hammers and all that jazz.

Non-elf race druids? Well only 1 of the 4 elf races can be a druid. At this point, the druid is a troll and tauren class, if judging by race availability.

Oh, and yes "overrun" means "shit is hitting the fan, no one is coming to help you, and yes, you'll die in a bit - halp".

I'm sorry, this part makes absolutely no sense.

These, however, were the shadow highland wildhammers (or the hilldwarves as they were called in day of the dragon). The aerie peak wildhammer dwarves should be still allright. This would give us the perfect opportunity to completely unite the wildhammer clan, who since the desecration of grim batol have been split, with aerie peak as their capital.

No, it just means the position has become unholdable. Besides, it says that TH is overrun, not the Wildhammer themselves. If a position is overrun, the appropriate measure is generally a retreat and reconsolidation at a more defensible position. That the Wildhammer got scattered means that they failed at the latter half of that, but at least part of them managed to get away. It's not scattering if you get killed.

The Wildhammer clan as a unit got scattered, not individual Wildhammer clan members as beings.

The more I think about it the more I need it. Give me. Now.

OK, it's yours! Enjoy.

You meant Wildhammer "Druids" right? I almost had a fit until I realized.

[Deleted]

We got as many dwarve races as we got elves in the alliance now. Give it a rest. Lets have some other race that can be druid.

Did you perhaps mean to say Wildhammer druids don't exist in lore?

[Techno-Druid]

As much as I don't think Wildhammers lend themselves to Druidism, it's fun to imagine what animals they would shapeshift into. Gryphon flight-form is a no-brainer.

Realistically, they'd just get the same forms as everyone else with Wildhammer tattoos (and hopefully beards).

Cat Form - Lynx
Bear Form - Brown Bear
Travel Form - Big Burly St. Bernard (plz!)
Flight Form - Gryphon

[Biotec]

Just have maybe Tyrande or Malfurion appear in their recruitment scenario and offer to teach them the druidic ways because they are already so in tune with nature. Their forms would just be the same but with a Gryphon as their flight form and beards on their animals. The scenario could make for some real cool dwarf lore about finally reuniting all the clans and kicking some ass.

[Kyriexo]

It'd be a big bear for guardian and a slightly smaller bear for feral, cause dorfs ain't pussies.

Honestly, as stupid as that would be, i'd love to see the dwarf "cat" form, A BEAR!

Pretty sweet, but the blue tattoos wouldn't be too much.
Think how all tauren forms get the horn, blue tattoos for HILL dwarfs would look really amazing.
