For those of you who have yet to see it, here’s the blue post:
Continuing the discussion from 12.0.5 PTR Development Notes:
This is going to do wonders to rejuvenate the class and Dracthyr as a whole!
My one and ONLY request is to make the only Dracthyr-bodied spells Deep Breath and Dream Flight.
Warlocks just received a brand new “breath attack” animation for their Blight of Weakness/Blight of Tongues. Please apply this animation to Disintegrate and Dream Breath. Basically, I hope the transformation only applies to the spells that actually require us to take flight across the battlefield.
It would be so awesome to do the other normal/grounded breath spells from Visage form without having to transform back into a Dracthyr so often!
Now we just need to be able to be in Visage form at the campsite and on the forums, and everyone can forget the tried to sell us a glorified moonkin as a whole race.
This is actually some great fantasy. Now, if only Evoker tier sets made for the Dracthyr, the only race that can be Evokers, was made to appear on the Dracthyr model.
“Help! I rolled a dragon, but I don’t actually want to BE a dragon!”
The solution is to not roll a dragon… All this dev time wasted to satisfy people who don’t want to play what they rolled, which could’ve been spent on something more useful. Like pet battles.
Maybe the solution was to not make an awesome class and tie it to one niche awful race, and then further add a completely unique playstyle/spec to the class.
Except in this case, you can be other races and other animals.
In fact, there are toys in Midnight that allow you to be a raptor or a pangolin while in combat as a Druid tank. 10 minute cooldown and works through combat. No need to use bugs or have broken animations while doing so.
Evokers are not the same thing. This is an entire class tied to the second-least played (Thanks, Mechagnomes), least developed “race” in the game.
This is exactly what it would be like.
This is a big part of being a Dracthyr. The fact that some of them want to fit in with mortals and appear like they are one.
There’s a reason one of their Racial Traits is Visage. Your Visage emanates magic, significantly increasing out-of-combat health regeneration for your party.
Don’t you mean the spells that "don’t” require flight? Because standing stationary for those would essentially change the design of the spell.
I know this is not happening, but I wish we could add wings to the Visage customization options so we could do the hover-based spells in this Battle Visage.
We don’t even know what abilities are included in this yet. It could possibly be only for the deep breath ability, so getting worked up about this at this time is rather pointless.
Grow up and stop insulting people over their opinions. But I know that’s impossible for you.
Attempting to equate Meta with half the abilities that Evokers have, along with the sparkle-poof animation is probably the more ridiculous thing I’ve heard.
If you can’t handle being a Drac, don’t play one. This is completely stupid and I’m sick and tired of Blizz caving to all of the whining.
Thanks for reminding me to mute another thread on this, since y’all can’t handle dissenting opinions and have to act this way.
These changes don’t impact you at all, you don’t need to use them.
No, it will not be some obnoxious thing that will assault your senses in a group. Do you honestly sit there and look at other players in combat instead of the content you are doing?
