Are casters allowed anything?

Nobody’s asking for that.

tyhen what are you asking for

For Dracthyr, the RACE, to get tank CLASSES like warrior

There’s roughly 130 posts in the thread that state it clearly. Read before replying next time?

why do they NEED to have a tank class exactly?

Nah im good. ill do what i want and youll accept it regardless

I am indifferent, but the common argument is that all races should be able to fill all roles, it might have been duged a bit with gnomes at the start, but they were often with Dwarves who could fill in the missing roles for them if need be.

Time mostly

So far from what i can tell all dracthyr are evokers i havent seen any of them display traits from other classes but thats just the beta so far.

now thats not to say that LATER On down the line that they wont get access to other classes and its a reverse of “well they have been asleep they just need to learn how”

No that’s actually in the lore that only the best of the best are evokers

and it would not be too far of a stretch that the ones who did not make the cut for evoker became things like bodyguards for the ones that did.

They need to be in range and facing their target.

There are more variables at play than may appear at face value

it still leaves open the whole “they just need to learn it” sorta ordeal.

if youv been hunting with a bow your whole life you dont pick up a sword and instantly know how to be a master with it.

besides i think there is a rumor that dracthyr will get access to other classes down the line.

tbf most melee have the ability to stick to you like glue if they wanted to.

Nah that’s a huge stretch for people apparently

Eh, truthfully, I’d go more the monk route for the bodyguards, even it it was more the street brawler kind due to lack of “professional” training.

  1. Death Knight didn’t steal any chance of Necromancer existing… according to various Devs, Warlock is the reason they keep refusing to give us Necromancer.
  2. Demonology Warlock only ever became the “wannabe Demon Hunter” spec because players complained endlessly about not getting to be Demon Hunters in Burning Crusade. Demonology had an identity as a master of Demons prior to Metamorphosis being added… Legion fixed a decades old bandaid solution by actually adding the Demon Hunter class and returned Demonology to its original identity.
  3. Dracthyr can only be Evokers for the entirety of Dragonflight. So of course people are going to demand that they get a melee spec. A large portion of the playerbase is being told “play a caster or miss out on the new race AND new class” New races have always been equal access to all players, this is the first one that is straight up unavailable to players who don’t like a certain playstyle. People would be fine with being told “this new class isn’t for you”, it’s the fact that the RACE is locked out as well that is the root of the problem.
  4. Evoker has a Black Dragonflight line of talents in the class tree that are defensive in nature, it makes sense that a third spec would follow that line of talents with how Blizzard explained the new talent trees. Which means, it should be a Tank spec. Making it a Tank would also allow the greatest number of players to access the new race and class.

Ether way i think people just need to wait and see what happens and its far to early.

if peopel want tanks they have the options to make them other wise being a healer isint all that bad

iv actually really been enjoying evoker healing

Agreed, I think the issue is, since it is Blizzard we are talking about, is if it is not talked about and discussed now, it could be another 3+ expansions before it happens, so it would help if we at least had a bare bones timeline as far as what is planned.

Well if track record shows most things happen after there expansions like monks being able to be other races etc etc
