Those who wish soar to remain distinct from druid flight despite the glaringly obvious reasons that they should be able to instantly start flying while in the air, I propose a compromise (read: please do this devs) to making soar instant for dracthyr: only allow evokers access to instant Soar.
If the distinction is between class and race where most people seem to be drawing the line, why not allow evokers access to instant soar, a perc of the class, and the rest of the dracthyr can keep the cast time if they choose to not embrace their dracthyrness by taking the destined class.
Instant soar just needs to happen, I’m willing to bring compromise to the table, what say ye doubters and naysayers?

While I do agree with you in that I wish Soar was instant and could be cast while moving, much like Druid’s flight form (and I also play a druid), I think we should wait and see how much they’re going to fiddle-jack Dracthyr’s other racials with these as-yet-to-be-determined other Dracthyr classes before we start offering compromises on …well…anything.
Part of me is looking forward to being able to play a Drac mage or Warlock, but I’m also pretty apprehensive on how much of a change the race will see as a whole because of it.
After seeing the new racial Humans are getting, I’m in kind of in the corner of “don’t you dare touch anything! Not my Soar, not my glide, not my knockbacks! nothing!” Time will tell if I come out of that corner or not, or if I need to stay prepared to be P.O’d.

Hopefully the move they make is to just make the cd of swipe and buffet much longer for the other classes, or make them class abilities.
Getting them gutted just to have more classes get access to Dracthyr would be turbo bad.

I think I’d be alright with them making swipe and buffet class abilities as long as they would be baseline and not something we’d have to talent into. We already juggle talents enough as it is. LOL.
They could easily just say that Evoker tail swipe and buffet are just enhanced by evoker magic too.
Yeah basically this.
I think just adding a passive that says “reduces the cd on tail swipe and wing buffet by 50%” is the easiest solution.

No it should not be evoker only. You are a dracthyr and you can fly, you have wings.
Even monks have insta fight (zen flight)
Soar is something else, its like a jump, you must touch ground to make that move.
Id suggest they just add another ability that would just put you in flight mode if you are gliding first
I could see them just sharing a CD so you pick which one to use for non evokers. Evokers still get talents for them, so they can jeuje them up there.
