Travel Form Updated : Stag Form
by Sunfyre on Jul.21, 2012, under Mists of Pandaria
Travel Form has been updated to a very cool looking stag. MMO-Champion has a video which I’ve embedded below:
Although it’s cool and all, is anyone else miffed that Travel Form is YET ANOTHER form that was updated before Moonkin?

Latest on Mon, 10:14 amSunfyre: Not really, but treants get worse.
Jim: Hey Sunfyre. I get the legendary Meta soon. Does anything Major change when i get to gem? Statweights, Playstyle. thx
Sunfyre: When you hit 0 energy, in 5.1, you'd go to 20 energy. + 40 energy from one cast to 60 energy, + 40 energy from cast #2, that's 100 energy. Now you go from 0 energy to 40 energy. Cast #1 brings you to 80. Cast #2 is still required, and it brings you to 100 energy (which is really 120 but you get nothing for that extra energy). The amount of casts did not change. 2.
gore: Wait, what you just said doesn't make sense. What makes us go straight to 20 energy? With SotF it takes 2 casts to reach lunar. 2 casts to reach solar. Without SotF it takes 3, correct me if i'm wrong.
S: Sorry, I don't understand where your getting the 20 from, 100 80 60 40 20 0 40 80 100 or sotf 100 80 60 40 20 0 (40 sf + 40 sotf) 80 120 ??
Madnz: Hi sunfyre, how would you say the 4p t15 will be with SoTF? Does that also maybe make mastery more valuable?
Sunfyre: You already go 20-Lunar, 60, 100. Going 40-80-100(120) is the same amount of casts to hit 100.
Cohumulone: Hey Sunfyre. I'm trying to wrap my head around what you've been saying about SotF. How exactly does it not reduce Starfire casts by 1?
Braeden: Started a Druid....3 days ago or something like that.... Anyways i got to lvl 60 and im not using gear SETS so much as im using the things that look especially helpful such as Int and Spir Stacke, Occasionally with some 14-15 haste involved..... Im not one of those guys who go out and get the best pve/pvp gear But i really need some help..... im a resto balance mix and well my hits are only doing about 5K at lvl 60 :/ what sohuld i do?
Sunfyre: SoTF wasn't much of a buff. It didn't reduce starfire casts to lunar, and only reduced wrath casts by potentially one. I'd stick with incarnation.
Moonkin Count!

Im still hopeing the current astral form on the beta is a placeholder.

One eye smiles, one cries. I love this new travel form, but sad we still have to wait for moonkin. But I’m happy they have more experience now and moonkin hopfully will be the best work of all the forms. It should be done with their latest modeling technology and latest experience.

In all fairness, travel form has been using a placeholder graphic since before vanilla went live. The fact that it was using a normal feline model was a left over remnant when all druid forms were generally indistinguishable from regular mob models (I still really miss the old beta cat form model D: ). Dire bear form was also using a placeholder graphic for forever, but it seems Blizzard pretty much just gave up on actually ever making a distinction between the two bear forms.
Granted, it’d be wonderful to get moonkin form actually updated, since it’s two expansions late now, but I’m not holding my breath. The internal pessimist says that it’ll probably take another two xpacks before we see an update, and flight form will probably get an update, and some additional customization will be added to cat and bear forms in the process as well.

F*.. Goddam*… setember 25th almost there.. 5.0 PTR and still nothing from the so long promissed final version of Moonkins. Blizz is being lazy with its promisses

They never said Moonkin would be ready before 5.0, but the fact they put priority on models like Travel form bothers me.
