Unsure where this is in the files, but I remember "Morph Impact" from the DragonnRiding files Marlamin shared.

Maybe Druids are getting a Dragonriding Form?

I think that would be in the books for sure. Once Dragonriding (or Dynamic, as they likely will start calling it next expansion) becomes the norm I imagine all class mounts capable of flying will work on that system. So far only Druid, but still.

[Sondrelk]

Would make sense. I wonder if the not-gryphon is actually just a druid specific form.

Feels weird to make a new druid form specifically for Dragonriding when you could at least make it a regular mount as well.

I'd have to see it again, but wasn't it not a photo? Just a modified, cropped screenshot?

No, it was a high quality straight on image.

Screenshot of the store.

Yeah I only ever saw this image and assumed it was from a rotated photo of a screen.

LOL nevermind, Morph Druid Impact is from Cata. Don't worry about it.

Druids should have a proper dedicated animation where they go directly from dragonflight mounted to their shapeshift form. And that might be what this is.

I just took it as being like the one they got in Legion. There will probably be other mount stuff for general use, but an emerald dream patch is likely to have druid specific rewards and it'd make sense for them to get something like that again, which in DF would obviously need to be dragonriding capable.

Gonna be pretty silly if they allow druids a permanent dragonriding flight form but don't also don't buff Evoker Soar.

Also, not sure if I missed that discussion, but new legendary?
What are people thinking? Druid for the thematic link, class agnostic for the wide appeal, or legendary off-hand for Evokers to go along with their fashionable Triumphant Roar?

[ChairmanKaga]

I would assume Druid Legendary works with all four specs.

That would make the most sense, but you never know. Sure, the expansion has done a lot for Druids overall, but a legendary for all four Druid specs would mean giving something to Feral Druids.

[Cheezits]

I want to say it's a cape for the memes and so everyone can use it (also Wrathion) but maybe it's an antler headpiece? If not the bramble crown then maybe an HD version of the druid antlers?

[ChairmanKaga]

I mean a single Legendary, probably a staff, that functions for all four specs depending on what spec you are in. Not 4 individual legendaries.
The last staff legendary was linked to Nordrassil and the druid of the flame stuff in Cata Firelands. I wouldn't be surprised if Druids with the staff equipped could turn into a Dragonriding form ala Tarecgosa.

When will there be justice for monks?

[Sondrelk]

When will there be justice for monks?

When we go back to Pandaria.
Sadly the devs didn't think it was important to give monks something when they were actually relevant.

I suppose I shouldn't be so cynical. Now that I have swapped over to Evoker I do have to hope it will actually have some relevance in future expansions.

As far as I can remember, there still hasn't ever been a single "low quality picture of angled computer screen" leak that has ever been real. This one is especially sketchy, since it definitely looks like it's been deliberately cropped at just enough screen to make the "confidential" text legible.

Both SL and DF actual leaks were literally what you described. You fail.

It's most likely that tiara that looks like Ysera's crown that's already been datamined. Head Item, maybe just for Druids or maybe for everyone.

What was the first single class Legendary? The Cata rogue daggers or was that not limited only to rogues? I'm surprised they didn't do a Monk one during the Thunder King raid. Seems like a perfect fit there. Some kind of Titan fist weapon or something.

That was the premise behind Legion Artifacts. Specifically the Windwalker monk artifact. Technically the Hunter Bow drop from Sunwell was the first class specific by default. The first one that was formally class specific was Shadowmorne. (Edit: Forgot that wasn't DK only and Dragonwrath wasn't mage-only. And Rogues could equip the Bow, even though they weren't supposed to. The Rogue daggers were the first class specific leggo)

I thought Warriors could do Shadowmourne as well as DKs? I always forget the Sunwell bow. I was thinking maybe they were reluctant to do a single class only legendary in Mists but they had already done them before that a few times.

Shadowmourne was useable by several classes though. I do think the Rogue daggers were the fourht properly class specific legendary item. Thori'dal has become a class legendary for Hunters by the removal of stat stick weapons, but still.

Didn't the first ever drop of the leggo bow go to a rogue as a stat stick, lmao
