With the release of Wrath of the Lich King looming on the “soon” horizon, many players find themselves looking for ways to keep themselves busy. Here are 12 steps to ensure you’re as prepared as possible for stepping foot on the shores of Northrend. (Hint: buy warm boots)
Amidst the excitement surrounding the release of Patch 2.4, I think it important that we Druids not lose sight of an issue that has plagued our class almost since its inception. While Bears, Cats, Moonkin, and Trees lament the sameness of their forms, they take for granted the immense personality granted to them by one simple feature: /dance. Alas, the poor, neglected Aquatic Form has no such emote. We swim to the left and swim to the right but can’t even put a flipper in and take it out in some semblance of an underwater hokey-pokey. I know that some will argue that the awkward Sea Lion form doesn’t lend itself well to dancing, that Sea Lions simply can’t dance! Therefore, I submit the following for your consideration:

As part of this community-driven effort, I hope to convince Andrige, creator of the gorgeous skins for all of our other forms to modify our Aquatic Form as shown above. ^^

I like the video. Did you just happen to find it while googling ‘seal swim’?
I loved the video and laughed much too hard!
But what wins the cake for this post is the picture with *that glove* and hat!!!! ROFL phae!!!
Phae they took away fishing as a tree this story needs to be told too
@Mynd – I found it on the front page of youtube as something someone was “watching now” and forwarded it to Phae.
Haha, you wish Phae xD
The Aquatic Form is problematic since there’s no alternatives for it, I could make a reskin but it wouldn’t do much good since it’s 1.) mutated sea-lion/sea-bass 2.) has Nightelf ears >_<
Anyway fun video, would be awesome if that dance were in the game ^^
That rocks and made me laugh so much. I wish my sea lion could be so talented.

A smooooth sea mammal!
@Mynd: I notice that it doesn’t show up in the RSS feed, but under the video, I tried to include a caption that credits Bell with the original find. =) She was nice enough to allow me to use it for my own nefarious purposes.
@Wynn: WHAT?!?!? That’s MADNESS! I actually didn’t know you could fish in Tree of Life form. Did you actually look like you were holding a fishing pole? Was there a line? Inquiring minds want to know!
@Andrige: I was (mostly) kidding about the Michael Jackson hat and glove. But I thought it would be a good opportunity to point more readers toward your previously featured shapeshift skins.
And yes, the form needs an entire mesh overhaul, not just a new skin. T_T I’d rather be a dolphin, but I hate to think how they could mess that up.
@Auryann: Me too! =)
@Tone: /facepalm … but I still LOLed!
I will counter that you can indeed dance in Aquatic Form, as evidenced by the following video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=JJw-ZaW2jFk
And as for fishing in Tree of Life, yes you could, but there was no pole or line, just a bobber floating in the water. I can see why they took it out, but that’s too bad. At least you can still fish in moonkin!
@Frogs: >.< LOL, wow. Some people have a lot of time on their hands! (Admittedly, I would too if the PC-version of WoW had integrated video capture like the Mac version!)
