Yes... but just because taurens are cuddly and fun to tip, doesn't mean that their cat form shouldn't look like it could do some damage.

When I see their paws I just go "lawl, that'd be like getting hit with a really big marshmallow"

there's nothing wrong with the new forms, l2p.

Saurfang's Cleave does not have a GCD, for it kills any seconds that dare get in its way.
Saurfang doesn't spam cleave, it's just that you can't see him use other attacks in between.

Which is what we should have looked like from day one instead of a lazy cut-and-paste from the wyvern model. Some of these threads make me wonder if anyone's seen an actual lion before. Our new catform looks awful lion-like to me.

You ARE aware that the models are still the same, but one has horns and the other has ears, right?

Yes, tauren get a bear necklace and cat nosering, but the Nelf cat is going to have the same "elongated face" and "marshmallow paws".

I am sure the picuters do not do them justices. Look at the orginal cats horns, do they honestly look that large in game? NO.

Just wait till PTR or some in game SS's come out. Untill then GTFO

Have you ever looked at a real big cat's paws? They're huge and fluffy, and since the claws retract they're a lot less menacing than the new cat form model. Observe:

As for the elongated face and braids/wristlets/tribal paint/nose ring, yes, they do make them look more like Tauren. That's by design. It's not really a cat, it's a tauren that looks like a cat. I personally think Blizzard did a fantastic job with these models, but then again anything but the wingless wyvern look would have probably gotten the same reaction out of me.

Dude, that black one looks pretty menacing...

Based on current pics I'd bet 80% of people who choose their cat based on looks go with the black one. at least 80%...
And everyone else chooses theirs based on the bear looks haha.

Exactly. Lion paws = big, fluffy, cuddly looking.

Until they've broken your skull in with a single hit..


edit: your picture has a lion facepalming, lololol. <3

My main complaint about the new catform, is that it doesn't still have saber-teeth.

I think for the most part, it looks really good. But I've grown too accustomed to the saber-teeth, and it looks somehow... odd... without them.

EDIT: The strange part is, if you look close at their mouths, you can see that the canines have even been repositioned outside of the normal jawline, which was normal for sabertoothed tigers. All that is missing is that the model on the teeth be elongated :/

It almost looks like, our tauren catform has been de-fanged.
