Spiffy indeed, I love how it reflects tier 5 (I think it's 5 the one from Hyjal, SSC etc)

But, as far as I know, it's tied to this: http://mop.wowhead.com/spell=102543. I'm a sad kitty if I'm only looking this druidy for 30 secs.

That is really sweet looking. It would make me choose my druid a bit more than my other 2 definately.

beats these guys for sure:

Meh i dont know.. seams they "just" put on a lot of armor on the models.. Tbh i like cleaner models with out all the big chunky armor.

Also the new designs for priest.. that helmet just seams to drown the head ..kinda of.

I kinda have a dislike that just because something is a higher lvl it has to get chunkier and chunkier the higher lvl it gets. I rather se some simple and pretty designs about for the monk tbh :D

The monk set looks good, the priest one is terrible. I'll transmorg it with my horde T9 again.
And I don't like the armored kitty, it doesn't fit at all. Hope it's just a cosmetig optional thing.

I looked at the priest set and was like, "How do they move their upper body?" :lol:

I think it looks nice, but not something I'd want to wear in an activity where I have to move around a lot. Like arena. ;)

I kinda get why this sort of thing would be attempted, but in my mind, it made more sense for druid armor to be magicked away rather than magicked into animal-shaped armor.

I'm glad it appears to only be a temporary effect.

Well, the armor is made of earth and wood, so I can see it making sense. It's like the Druid call for the earth to protect/aid it for a period of time.

I don't like this at all.. Just cause I am jealous my pets can't have armor.

It looks like a mount, rather than a form. Would have been cool if that was the new travel form glyph, but eh.

I like this, make me glad I am learning feral (kitty). Also kinda glad it might not be a permanent look, as much as I like the armoured look ,i wouldnt want to look at it all the time.

But, hey, maybe this is a step in the direction of allowing beasts to wear armor, would be a nice thing to add to the otherwise lacking LW proff.

After reading the title you got my hopes up for a remodel of the troll feral forms. =(

For these, they are neat. I know other druids wanted armor for their feral forms for a long while, but this to me seems like a little too much armor. You can barely see the kitty under all that.

To me, it almost looks like the troll model is updated a little in those 3D versions. Maybe it's just because I don't have a troll druid. Something about the stripes, they look a little smoother or something.

A feral cat should be all about swiftness. How can you be fast with all that stuff on you? Nonsense IMO.

If I were the betting sort, I'd lay money on those being the Incarnation forms and thus you won't be having to see them for long.

I must be the minority in loving these haha. Regarding how clunky it would be IRL, half the armor in WoW is kinda... irrational. :lol:

You can chalk it up to being magic for them to be agile while wearing it lol... but as stated, it's likely just a talent proc effect. It would have been cool as a glyph for those who would like a little flair to their char, since those clamoring for armored druid forms likely will never get that due to the extra work in designing the gear for every form.

Which is why I mentioned the skill. c:

That is cool. At some point I'd love to see them start adding leather armor that morphs into similar-themed barding when in animal form. I know this would not be simple, and they wouldn't have to do it across the board, but being able to accessorize your druid's combat appearance with gear (even to a minor extent) would be huge. Barber shop is nice but it's just a start.
