A Druid's party aura may disappear when switching forms
One player reported disappearing after form changes. The tracker maintainer named October 15 for a fix. There is no retest on the current build.
Status: Tracker issue closed as Fixed with an October 15 fix date. Current-build fix is unverified.
Updated What changed
Added Lily’s October 10 report: returning to caster form before shifting restored for the party. The build is unspecified, so a fix in 70338 remains unconfirmed.
Description
On October 8, a player reported that the passive aura alternates on and off when switching between and or reentering the same form. The Forever entry says the talent gives party members within 45 yards 3% critical strike chance while the Druid is in one of these forms. The community tracker maintainer closed the issue with a Fixed label at 06:07 Moscow time, but wrote 'Fixed October 15th.' That is a future fix date, not evidence that build 1.60.1.70245 is fixed.
Effect
The party may temporarily lose the critical strike bonus after a form change. Check the aura on yourself and nearby party members before a fight, especially when the Druid switches roles often.
How to reproduce it
- As a Druid with , enter and check the aura on yourself and another party member within 45 yards. The talent is 21 points deep in Feral and reachable within the level-30 cap.
- Switch directly to or reenter the same form. The reporter says the aura disappears after one switch and returns after the next.
- When testing on your build, record the build number, form sequence and party aura state. Repeating the switch is the reporter's observation, not independently retested on 1.60.1.70245.
Further conditions
- On October 10, Lily again reported disappearing when switching directly between Cat and . Returning to caster form before entering an animal form restored the aura for the player and party in this report. No build was given, so this does not test the fix on 70338.
What players report

The reporter says every next form change alternates the aura state: it disappears, then returns.
