Summary
World of Warcraftmay be adding tons of new Druid shapeshifting form customizations in Patch 10.2, Guardians of the Dream. Players already knew this patch was going to be huge for Druid players inWorld of Warcraft, but it might be even bigger than they thought.
Patch 10.2 takes players to the Emerald Dream, the idyllic fey-like realm associated with nature, Druids, and the Green Dragonflight. Tons of Druid characters will appear in the new zone, and many of the cosmetics playerscan earn in the Emerald Dream will be perfect for Druid players inWorld of Wacraft.

Some of these new cosmetics will include customizations for Druid shapeshifting forms. During the patch reveal and subsequent interviews,World of Warcraftdevelopersconfirmed Druids would be getting some new Moonkin forms for the Balance specialization, plus some fiery forms from the raid. While the full breadth of these customizations is currently unknown, images revealed by Blizzard show off some ideas of what players might expect these forms to look like.
That said, Druids might be getting way more forms than players originally surmised. In the Patch 10.2 Public Test Realm, fans discovered Marks, Glyphs, and other consumable items to unlock other Druid forms in the barbershop. Here are some of the creatures Druid players might be able to transform into in Patch 10.2:
Exactly what the fiery Druid forms entail is currently unknown. However, theDruids of the Flame fromCataclysmplay a major role in Patch 10.2, and updated fiery shapeshifting forms can be seen in the PTR. It is possible players will be able to earn these forms–and maybe even the Druid of the Flame character customizations–in the upcoming raid.
World of Warcrafthas also confirmed it is making every class playableby any race in the future. Patch 10.2 itself won’t be removing any class limitations, but many suspect Patch 10.2.5 might do so. As of Patch 10.1.5, only Druid, Paladin, and Shaman aren’t fully available, and given the theme of the patch, as well as the abundance of new race-agnostic shapeshifting forms, many suspect Druids may be next. Players will have to wait and see if their theory is correct onceWorld of Warcraftreveals Patch 10.2.5 after Guardians of the Dream drops.
World of Warcraftis available now for PC.
