Evokers could easily be given to mortal races, here’s how.
So you know how some DH spells have the DH temporarily assume meta form? Spells like eye beam and chaos nova and death from above.
Well evokers could use that same logic for mortal races.
So essentially let’s say we got a human evoker. Using spells that don’t require dracthyr anatomy keeps them as human.
But spells that do, temporarily assumes an ethereal dracthyr form that allows them to cast the spell and then revert back to mortal form at the end. Just like demon hunters
Each races gets their own unique skin for their ethereal form.

A work around solution could be to allow them to choose more races for thei visage form. I’m still hoping my Dracthyr to turn into a Night Elf.

Meh, just wait for the inevitable demon hunters being accessible to all races to get your fill of fel infused races.
Dracthyr look more like Night Elves than anything else… especially if you go for the hornless option. In fact they look more like Night Elves than the Nightbourne do.
Still waiting for Orc and Blood elf druids tho.
I’m heartened to see so much support for all race/class combos in this after so many years of “get over it” mentality.

I hope soon that Paladin Option will be available to races like Void Elves, Night Elves, Gnomes, Kul’tirans, Worgens, Trolls, Undead, and Highmountain Tauren.
Once you see warlock Draenei then anything goes. The paladins should be easy additions. The Druids/Demon Hunters/Dracthyr will be very difficult to justify. Druids would just be creating unique skins for all those forms.
Demon Hunters should be an elf only class. We do see Void Elf Demon Hunters in Hearthstone. Dracthyr would be nearly impossible to make available for each race unless Dracthyr get to choose from every race to look like.
The third generation of Death Knights - consisting of the Ebon Blade and PC Death Knights - do, and always have - required the Helm of Domination to be made. When making new Death Knights in Legion, had to get a boost from Lich King Bolvar, who still had the helm. I think your comment got so many upvotes simply because I said that.
No, they haven’t.
Death Knights are created through powerful necromancy. Any significantly powerful necromancer can create a Death Knight. The Helm of Domination allowed the Lich King to control them. It wasn’t required to create them.
This is evidenced by the quest chain in the Eastern Plaguelands with Fiona. One of the Paladins, Gidwin Goldbraids, is abducted by the Scourge and the goal of the Scourge that hold him is to have him raised as a Death Knight. We stop that ritual and save Gidwin, but had the Scourge succeeded, they would have turned Gidwin into a Death Knight similar to all the others.

I’m not sure about that example with Gidwin, because during that time Lich King Arthas was near the height of his power and still had the helm. It takes Lich King Bolvar lending player DKs powers in Legion to make the Four Horsemen, and it’s Bolvar again making new Death Knights in BfA.
We don’t see Bolvar make any more Death Knights are Sylvanas took and destroyed the Helm. Could he really still make more now?
The only beings other than the LK himself that seemed to have the ability to create proper DKs were the greater Val’kyr and as far as we know all of them are dead now. Even creating Forskaen (as in a sapient zombie) is a very difficult task needing a high level necromancer, let alone a DK.

Lich King Arthas was dead.
The quest chain involving Fiona’s Caravan was added to the Eastern Plaguelands during the Cataclysm world revamp.
Yes, 100%
Because only necromancy is required. Even during the Lich King’s days, if you play the Death Knight starter zone, you can see four Cult of the Damned Necromancers raising individuals to be Death Knights. Instructor Razuvious is patrolling the area and he’ll stop and inspect the recently raised and if they’re good enough, send them to training, otherwise he has ghouls tear them to pieces.

Thats a weird bit now, as DKs are apparently made specifically with Zovaal’s domination magic, which I cannot imagine a necromancer would even know, let alone be able to use. That should of been the purview of the LK alone on azeroth,

I don’t think so… the making of Death Knights like many characters is time-locked to a specific period in Azeroth’s history.
If you choose Exile’s Reach then your creation is tied to the Battle of Azeroth.
I have better and much simplier idea.
Allow to pick any race from playable faction for Visage form. It would give illusion that Evoker is available to every race.
And not this wierd thingy that is now playable. I’d love to see Dragons using Panda visage!

Given Blizzard’s tendency to always take the lazier option, I can see this being the more likely outcome. Instead of trying to get every race to fit with the Evoker’s animations, they’ll just go through and add some dragon bits to each race and tell players to pick one as their Visage.
I’m actually surprised they didn’t go with this option to begin with. Why wasting resourced on some “new” ugly models instead of allowing players to pick a dragon and then pick a visage for race they want to be? They’d please everyone with this option.
The humanoid form is so repulsive to me that I refuse to play it. But if it would allow me to pick any race from currently available, I and many others would be stoked.

I think they spent so much of their time with all the options for the dragon form, the when it came time for the Visage they just took an elf/human model and slapped some dragon bits on it.
I totally agree that the Visage form is ugly as sin. I don’t even have the button on my bars for my Drac’thyr.
