World of Warcraft: Forever

Druid Snake Form World of Warcraft: Forever beta

In the World of Warcraft: Forever beta, wearing all 5 pieces of the Embrace of the Viper set from Wailing Caverns turns your Cat Form into a snake. The set's tooltip says nothing about it.

The druid's other forms got new looks too: the barber offers 50 in all, depending on race, and the Skyborne have forms of their own.

A serpent in Wailing Caverns

The snake form

All 5 pieces of the set come from Wailing Caverns. Apart from Gloves of the Fang, which binds when equipped, they bind on pickup, so you mostly farm them yourself. The chances below are Classic Era figures from the open-source server data and may differ in Forever.

Piece Dropped by Chance
Armor of the FangLord Pythas60%
Footpads of the FangLord Serpentis25%
Leggings of the FangLord Cobrahn20%
Belt of the FangLady Anacondra10%
Gloves of the FangDruid of the Fang2.34%

The hardest piece is Belt of the Fang: Lady Anacondra drops it only 10% of the time, about once every 10 kills.Gloves of the Fang drops from Druid of the Fang, an ordinary mob in the dungeon, about 2.34% each.

All five are Leather, and rogues can use the stats too; in a group with a rogue, agree on who gets what first.

(2) Set: +10 Intelligence.
(3) Set: +10 attack power.
(4) Set: Taking damage at or below 25% health restores 100 health and mana in 5 seconds. This effect can only trigger once every 5 minutes.
(5) Set: Gives your melee attacks a chance to add dream venom, stunning the target for 1 second.
Not in the tooltip: with all 5 pieces on, Cat Form becomes a snake.

What the snake does

Cat Form
The set changes how Cat Form looks; Bear Form and the other forms stay as they are.Cat Form is a level 20 ability, and there is a druid class quest chain at the same level: the full Cat Form quest walkthrough .
Dream Venom
The 5-piece bonus gives your melee attacks a chance to apply Dream Venom, stunning the target for 1 sec.
In the client
The beta client has no record of this change: none of the set's four bonus spells touch your appearance, and there is no snake among the barber's form looks.

The druid's other looks

Below are the looks the barber offers for each form, by race. The names come from the game client and the pictures are our renders of the client models. Blizzard's October 1 beta development notes say Darnassus and Thunder Bluff now have barbershops too, and every barbershop has barbers.
