Druid snake form WoW Forever beta

Sodapoppin found it on stream on September 21: wear the five pieces of the Embrace of the Viper set from Wailing Caverns and your Cat Form becomes a snake. The set’s tooltip says nothing about it.

The druid’s other forms have new looks too: 50 at the barber depending on race, and the Skyborne have forms of their own.

A druid in snake form, face on, in Wailing Caverns

The snake form

Each piece drops in Wailing Caverns, from a different boss. They are all bound when picked up, so every druid farms their own. The chances are Classic’s: Forever may have changed them.

Piece	Dropped by	Chance
Armor of the Fang	Lord Pythas	55.2%
Footpads of the Fang	Lord Serpentis	21.1%
Leggings of the Fang	Lord Cobrahn	17.5%
Belt of the Fang	Lady Anacondra	9.6%
Gloves of the Fang	Trash mobs	2.4%

The Belt of the Fang is the piece that takes longest: Lady Anacondra dropped it one kill in ten in Classic. The Gloves of the Fang come from the dungeon’s trash, at 2% each.

The pieces are leather and rogues want them too, for the bonuses. In a group with a rogue, agree on who takes them before the first boss.

(2) Set: +10 Intellect.

(3) Set: +10 Attack Power.

(4) Set: Taking damage while at or below 25% health causes you to restore 100 health and mana over 5 sec. This effect can only trigger once every 5 min.

(5) Set: Grants your melee attacks a chance to inflict Dream Venom, stunning the target for 1 sec.

Not in the tooltip: with all five on, your Cat Form becomes a snake.

What the snake does

Cat Form only: Only your Cat Form turns into the snake. Bear Form stays a bear (Sodapoppin checked it at 8:32). In Forever, Cat Form comes from a quest at level 20: the Cat Form quest, step by step.
Dream Venom: The five-piece bonus also gives your melee attacks a chance to stun for 1 second. Sodapoppin saw it proc twice in a row (9:11), so it does not seem to have a cooldown. It can interrupt a cast.
Prowl: With Prowl the snake lies flat and slithers along the ground (5:51). It still meows and roars like a cat.
In the water: It swims like a snake too (41:48).
Where the snake comes from: The beta client has no trace of it: not in the set’s spells, not among the barber’s looks. The server gives it, so Blizzard can change it at any time without a patch.

The druid’s other looks

In vanilla, no item ever changed how a druid form looks: the snake is a first, and more sets may follow. Here are the looks the barber offers each form, by race. Bear and cat can also keep their Classic look. Since October 1, Darnassus and Thunder Bluff have a barbershop too, and every barbershop has a barber at work.
