It really just seems like a gimmick class put in place to match the new expansion. I’m sure Dragon Flight will be fun with all the new changes, but after finally trying out Dracthyr…it seems boring and plain.
The community has been asking for new classes (necromancer, bard, tinkerer, etc) but they go with something nobody asked for.
I actually had this thought a while ago when we got the teaser for Dracthyr. I was sitting there wondering “who asked for this?”. But it was then that I simply realized it wasn’t for me, and I’ll look for other things in this expansion to enjoy
frankly i think all of those sound either really unlikely (necro) or just very blah. if we were to get them i would express my disappointment and then just not play them though
It’s not good. It really isn’t. People are cherry picking preservation evoker in coordinated keys and pvp. That’s not the game 90% of us are playing.
Preservation evoker is by far the better of the 2 specs but try playing that with a ranged DPS off in Narnia… or during a raid. Yeah that 25 yard range will hurt badly.
Now devastation? It’s a mess. A complete mess. I can overlook the healer but the DPS spec I expected better from. It’s stuck in place spamming living flame or disintegrate that roots you, channeled abilities root you. It’s not fun, it’s not inventive, it has no flair or spark.
It’s a horrifically clunky, low range, low survivability squishy.
BUT HEY WE OVERTUNED THE NUMBERS SO PEOPLE LIKE IT CAUSE LOL BIG NUMBERS! Yeah this is exactly why people are fine with it, because of the numbers. The gameplay itself is awful.
I don’t really have any interest in playing it but I hear Preservation is pretty good and unique which I think is good for the game. From what I’ve seen the dps spec is basically a caster form of DH and pretty basic. Not necessarily bad for the game but boring I’ll agree with.
