Omen of Clarity will be one of the new “must-have” talents for all Druids, proccing off not only melee abilities but spells of all types. Learn about the expected proc rate and estimated MP5 value of this 11-point Restoration talent.
Readers should be aware that Blizzard has been cracking down on the use of a particular application called “Model Edit.” While this application employs a method different than the one required for the use of Andrige’s modifications to Druid forms, this could be an indication that Blizzard is cracking down on all forms of model modification. The decision, of course, remains in your hands, but I would feel remiss if I didn’t share this information with you. Thanks to readers Luke and Wynn for writing in to let me know about this!
From World of Raids:
Blizzard has recently updated the WoW client files to detect the Model Edit (it’s a tool that let’s you change your in-game character looks, however the use of that software is against Blizzard’s ToS). You will probably not get ban right away if you received that alert, but according to several users a GM might contact you in-game to give you a warning, and if you reuse the model edit after that, you will get a 72-hour ban for abusing World of Warcraft ToS, so consider yourself warned.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Not entirely true, you should notify that at least my pack does not get this warning. As World of Raid says, it’s for those that use that tool. My pack does not use that tool. Think of it as Blizzard just recently discovered that the ‘tool’; modeleditfix.exe which is the program, is a liability, they added it to the list of the harmful programs. My pack does not fit into that category.
So, my edit have not received any complaints or warnings, and I still use it at least… just to note, I went back to default when the warning first came out, but I just can’t stand using those any longer… so I’m gonna take the risk and if they actually will do more action against modelediting I’ll take that warning and possibly 72h suspension if so (okay not any further ofc).
But if they do a change to prevent my kind of editing, I will sadly remove the pack from use.
I state above that your pack doesn’t rely on an application like Model Edit. However, it may be worth noting that if they’re looking for application-based model editing, they might also be looking at other ways to detect model changes (like the method used for your skins). It’s something to consider, though you might be safe to wait for detection and a warning.
Yeah sorry, did this reply during my very very brief break under lunch, so didn’t read it through entirely. Anyway… just wanted to say I’m going to a university now and gonna have an interview, hopefully it’ll go well for me and I’ll keep on doing this kind of stuff in the future.
Cross your fingers for me
Best of luck, Andrige! I’ll keep my branches crossed.
