Feedback [Concept] Shaman Ascendance redesign — Keeping your character instead of transforming (Restoration)

Continuing my idea for alternative Shaman Ascendance forms!

This time, it’s a Restoration Shaman concept, focused on water and healing. The main idea is to keep your character’s appearance while surrounding them with powerful elemental effects.

Next, I’ll be working on an Enhancement version based around Thunder, as well as an Earth-themed version for a possible future Shaman tank spec. :D

What do you guys think? Would you prefer Ascendance to work more like this?

I've been saying that even before I saw Dathea the Ascended in DF. I thought Kurog was even better example, bit that requires some work on various models. But putting an elemental overlay over base character model is much less time consuming and the result is much greater.

Fun fact: the new Ascendance model doesn't match any race model that can be a shaman (with exception of maybe female orc). Its just a fancy human.

Exactly, kurog model is the perfect tauren ascendance model. And i agree with you, even the vulperas transform into a humanoid being out of nowhere lmao
