WotLK Polymorph drood

[yanko2a]

Hello mates, i'd take some tests yesterday, and WTF.

When i polymorph a druid, while he's in caster form, he just swift into a cat, while being a sheep, and break the effect without trinket.
That's a bug?
We just can't control a drood with polymorph. =(.
Please clear my mind.
Thanks.

Ammm think it like this: one of the most famous druid abilities is to turn into another animal/plant, being connected with the nature... Forcing him to do it might work in some occassions, however what stops him to do it again? :)

So yep, druids are almost completely immune to polymorph effects, and all they can do is to interrupt their cast while in human form... which will be quite rare to happen anyway :d

Oh... =( thanks.
I'll go to cry in my bed for a while...
Have a nice day.

No they shouldn't be ablo to break polymorph with shapeshift, they can only break any movement impairing debuff, or if already in a shapeshift form being immune to polymorph

[yanko2a]

Yea that's what i mean...

guys why writing rand stuff?..

I believe as Blizzard moved on to Cataclysm and gave all healers ability to remove Magic effect, they removed the system of Druid being able to get a lee-way around Polymorph. (Because it would be not balanced if they could dispel the ability that they are immune to.)

I might be wrong. Never played Druid.

For clarification, did some research.

This is WotLK polymorph tooltip of Cat Form that reads that it will break you out of Polymorph AND movement impairing effects.

And this is the current Legion tooltip of Cat From.

I could probably find a patch note somewhere for this.

Thanks Zelda for the answer. You've cleared my mind.
