Cosmetic Wishlist

[checking facts]

I made a wishlist of cosmetic stuff I'd like to see in-game

if you have any suggestions, place put them in the comments, and I may add them to the OP

• Death Knight
  
  • Glyph of the Reaper - Your Dancing Rune Weapon summons a Scythe instead of a copy of your weapon;
  • Glyph of Dark Transformation - Your Dark Transformation now turns your minion into a Flesh Beast;
  • Glyph of the Unholy Val'kyr - Teaches you the ability Summon Val'kyr:
    
    • Summon Val'kyr - A val'kyr flies into the area and bombards the target with Plague damage modified by the Death Knight's attack power. Persists for 30 sec. Replaces Summon Gargoyle.
  • Glyph of the Throne - Teaches you the ability Frozen Throne:
    
    • Frozen Throne - Creates a throne of ice. Sitting on the throne encases the death knight on ice.
• Druid
  
  • Epic Questline - Heart of the Nightmare: Enter the Emerald Dream and fight against the Emerald Nightmare itself. The new Nightmare Lord is far too powerful, and you will have to choose between absorbing the nightmare and bending it to your will or fighting against nearly impossible odds. But fear not! Should you choose not to abandon proper druidism, Cenarius shall not abandon you. He will give you his blessing, and that will give you the chance to fight the Nightmare Lord with the fury of the untainted nature. The choice you make on this questline alters the reward you receive at the end:
    
    • Blessing of Cenarius - Grants you Access to the Cenarion Form:
      
      • Cenarion Form - Shapeshift into Cenarion Form, allowing you to use the power of the other forms as aspects.
        
        • The Scenarion Form model is that of a fully customizable, player-like Dryad or Keeper, that shows armor on itself;

      • Cat Form - Fang Form;
        
        • It's essentially a Snake Form, the name "Fang Form" is just a nod to the Druids of the Fang;
      • Moonkin Form - Faceless Form;
        
        • The nightmare was revealed to have been caused by N'zoth, the old god, on Blizzcon 2010;

    • Presence of the Naaru - Summons an Essence of the Naaru. The Essence of the Naaru has a different effect depending on the paladin's specialization. Replaces Guardian of Ancient Kings;
• Priest
  
  • Glyph of the Lightspawn - Teaches you the ability Lightspawn:
    
    • Lightspawn - Creates a Lighspawn to attack the target. Caster receives 3% mana when the Lighspawn attacks. Lasts 12 sec. Replaces Shadowfiend.

    • I couldn't find a good screenshot of the spell
  • Glyph of Sha Bolt - Your Shadow Bolt now appears to be a bolt of sha energy;

  • Glyph of Blood and Thunder - Your Bloodthirst ability also causes you to be charged with thunder;
  • Glyph of the Barbarian - While in Berserker Stance, you remove your breastplate, but it's effects remain;

Wow, some really neat ideas here. As a paladin player, I really wish those in particular were real. I'd probably stay with the normal Guardian, but that's a cool idea. Also, I hope the other glyph would work with the Argent Charger.

[Smokinya]

Good stuff man!

[Arkenaw]

Glyph of Hope - Your Healing spells take on the aspect of the Red Crane of Hope;

I stopped reading here to say: "OMG YES PLEASE"

[Daetur]

Those are actually some really cool ideas, though I'm not sure how I feel about scorpions for Night Elves... the scorpion form wasn't nightmare-associated, it was connected with Firelands and the druid of the Flame. I think everyone should probably get spider-forms in that case.

I'd love to see hunter glyphs that gave your arrows an elementally-enhanced look, and I'd love to be able to select a customized "build" for my character-- you know, height and weight slider, for character customization.

I'd use the shit out of these:
Glyph of Hope - Your Healing spells take on the aspect of the Red Crane of Hope
Glyph of Tea - Your brew-based abilities now display yourself drinking tea

[lopk]

These are really cool. Blizzard missed a great opportunity to have inscription give a ton of cosmetic effects (I know there are some, but it's honestly not many). Unfortunately, with the cash shop looming over us, I expect any really cool cosmetics to be there.

Ah well, we can hope.

I took the druids of the nightmare idea from the RPG books, that state:

"Druids of the Nightmare transform into vermin such as monstrous scorpions or monstrous spiders instead of the animals other druids choose."

since fandral and the other druids of the flame use scorpion forms, and they are all night elves, and fandral was tainted by the nightmare and he was the one that started the flame order, and the flame order works for ragnaros who works for deathwing who works for n'zoth, I gave the scorpion form for night elves.

I mixed both scorpions and spiders into one single role because I really wanted to fit the fang form in (/love wailing caverns) and druids have a limited amount of forms

[Netherspark]

What I would like:

Priest:
Glyph of the Moon (night elf & worgen only) - Transforms your shadow spells into glowing moonlight (a la priestess of the moon).
Glyph of the Sun (blood elf and tauren only) - Transforms your shadow spells into glowing sunlight (a kind of sun-priest)

Druid:
Glyph of the Wilds - Replaces your sun and moon themed spells with life and weather effects (green wrath, solar beam envelops the target in swirling winds etc)

Shaman:
Glyph of Spirits - Replaces your elemental spells with spirit-themed spells (lightning bolt becomes spirit bolt, fire elemental becomes a raging spirit etc)


I'd also like to see among others a "green fire style" questline for Shaman that rewards some special totems.

[Flaks]

Glyph of Deep Wounds: Your deep wounds causes the target to leave a trail of blood. Does not work when the target is stealthed.

Glyph of Rage: Whenever you are enraged or use recklessness, your eyes glow red for the duration.

[Ziel]

A lot of these honestly aren't cosmetic. The Lightspawn for Priests, Unholy Valkyr for DK's, and a few others.

Some really good concepts here, but this thread should be titled "Stuff We Want" rather than "'Costmetic' Wishlist".

[Maxilian]

I like the quest idea for the druids, but IMO it would have been better to have Fire Druids instead of druids of the nightmare

Those are cosmetics, cause they just substitude an ability, it makes the same thing as the substitued ability but change the theme of the ability

IMHO, if it does the same thing, but looks different, it's cosmetic.

I understand your point of view, but considering lore as a whole, the druids of the flame were a one-time thing, where the nightmare is druidism's good old nemesis. there's a reason we got a book about the top druid of azeroth fighting against the emerald nightmare

[Hyde]

WOW, amazing ideas! Kudos.

[Darklurker]

I wish DK's Soul Reaper had some sort of animation akin to Execution Sentence... Perhaps like Svala's Ritual of the Sword.

[PetersenIII]

Something tells me your main is a druid. <.<

[Littleraven]

you play a druid dont you

but seriously. these are some amazing ideas. as a druid player myself some of thats stuff sounds pretty solid.

[checking facts]

Something tells me your main is a druid. <.<

actually, it's a warlock

unfortunately, I never managed to get my will together to level a druid up. I guess I just don't dig the "I must protect the forests" theme. but if I could get some dark side forms to appeal to my grimdark-loving eternal tween side, or if I could get some hawt dryad action, I'd say that would be more than enough to help me gather the resolve to level my druids up

[Senarx]

Druid
Glyph Emerald Visage: Changes your flight form into a green drake.
Glyph of the Pack(Worgen): Worgen retain their natural form when in Bear/Cat form

Priest
Glyph of Twins: Transform into a Light or Dark Val'kyr depending on your specc. Acts like a mount.
Glyph of The Spirit Healer: Same as above but with the Spirit Healer Model for Holy?

DK
Glyph of Lichborne: Actually gives you a transform graphic when Lichborne is activated.

a glyph that gives pallies' and warlocks' steeds wings for god's sake.

Oh, I didn't know that-- since the RPG books are non-canon, I'm not terribly familiar with them, that's very interesting!

[shamantime]

Glyph of the Wilds(the weather effects, like wind) would most likely be something given to Shaman, since they are the ones who are attuned to the Elements.
