The Druids in World of Warcraft will receive a new shapeshift form as an alternative to the cat form with Warlords of Draenor. This will come with a special talent at level 100 and looks pretty fearsome.
“The Claws of Shirvallah” is the level 100 talent that turns cats into real killers. The special thing is that each of the four races in World of Warcraft that can become Druids will receive its own subform, a different skin.
- Tauren become lions
- Worgen become snow leopards
- Night Elves can shapeshift into panthers
- And Trolls will turn into tigers.
The new shapeshift form is inspired by the “Saberon” of Draenor but is supposed to move differently than they do. The new forms serve as an alternative to the normal cat mode, where Druids take on the roles of melee DPS and its gameplay approaches that of a rogue. More precise details will surely be revealed in the coming days. Currently, it is being discussed that there will be a 5% bonus to versatility in the form, and spells that do not deal damage should also be castable.
You can see the killer cats in motion in this video from Wowhead.
