Wolves are the default, since the frostwolf clan had such a strong link with them, the only other races having such a strong bond with a certain animal and are shamanistic, would be Trolls, Highmountain, Wildhammer dwarves and probably pandaren, but they strike me more in a zen kind of way. WoW's shamans are a combination of many units from WC3, specially the caster units (Shaman, Witch Doctor, Spirit Walker, Far Seer).Ĭoming back to the main subject, it'd be really cool if each race had their own spirit animal. The wolves were iconic to far seers, and indeed came from the Frostwolf Clan who (correct me if I'm wrong) were the most shamanistic out of all the orc clans, the link with wolvers from the frostwolf and shamanistic ways, inspired spirit wolves. By comparison spirit wolves is just one specializations temporary ability.įar Seer an iconic hero unit from WC3, Thrall was a Far seer in WC3, this unit had Spirit Wolves, Farsight, Chain Lightning and Earthquake as its spells. Note: One of the main reason Druids are getting more touches to style is because they spend most of their time in these forms so don't get to have anywhere near the same level of visual variations due to their gear being hidden so often. The extreme mechanical similarities means that making fully different classes for each different form would be somewhat redundant. Even Zandalari Paladins are just Loa worshipers in function. Troll mage's, shaman's, priests and even druids are all meant to simply represent various types of "Witch doctors" whom make pacts with Loa. Further customisation is mostly a recent thing.Į.g. They tend to then give some traits from different races, thereby using the orcs wolves in the original form of the class. The thing is, much like originally totems were all Tauren totems, classes in general don't just represent that specific class, but all similar classes within various races. I suppose the white wolf is a symbol of shamanism just as much as the lion is a symbol of Stormwind.Ībsolutely other things fit the lore. It was more common with the Frostwolf clan who (when exiled from the Old Horde), were living in Alterac mountains, bonded with the white wolves there. The old quest you had to undertake in Mulgore to get the ghost wolf spell made you (a) summon the ghost wolf spirit and then (b) successfully "track" it to prove to the ghost wolf that you were worthy, then (c) gaining the Ghost Wolf ability.
The wolf spirit of "Lo'gosh" is as likely as any other. Other shamans and witch doctors in the WoW setting take on aspects of spirits with which they are communing, at various times. I expect that the shaman is "channeling" such a spirit wolf, to take on some of its attributes. Summoning Spirit Wolves was also an ability of the orc shamans in Warcraft III, much as it is with high-end Enhancement Shamans in WoW.
