Are Shadow Priests losing Shadowform in Legion?

[Deleted]

While reading some forums I stumbled upon some information regarding Shadowform. I know that Shadow is getting reworked, but is Blizzard really removing the permanent Shadowform? Does any alpha tester knows if there will be a glyph to keep Shadowform's visual permanently on? I really planed to play priest in Legion, but if I won't be able to stay in shadowform all the time, I think I won't play this class.

you still get shadowform, its a passive now and the visual is still there

I really don't like the fact they made it passive, shoulda kept it so you can turn it on/off like is has been for awhile now.

No, the visual at 0 Insanity is significantly brighter.

You need somewhere > 80 Insanity to look like we do not.

What people want is to look like they do on live, at 0 Insanity, with the glyph as the usual option.

No, it's still in the game.

But as others have pointed out watered down, passive and barely visible at 0 insanity - might as well remove it.
And apparently we grow stupid tentacles now... *blegh*

Voidform is so good that I cannot bother missing Shadowform. I hope that the conservative opinion won't reach the developers and we go back to Shadowform.

The alpha look is a placeholder. Blizzard allready said that the void form will not be what it is now.

It will probably not differe much. But expect some tentacle at max insanity I guess.

As far as I know it is still a visible button, but more importantly what they have seen on Alpha isn't set. There was a blue post saying that Shadow Form(Not Void Form) is unfinished. Let me try to find it.

And I haven't seen any tentacles yet, not saying they won't be there later though.

I think that post was made before the latest update - of course they still might modify it again (still hoping for proper ooc shadowform, but I'm afraid the current state makes it to release).

As for tentacles - stolen from the shadow in legion thread:
