Dracthyr will be able to use Dragonriding, as they have wings and will fly.

Dive bombing with my evoker is going to be so epic! I can’t wait!
(Edit) Here is the original source of the info:
“The Dracthyr are going to be able to participate in the dragonriding system and mechanics too,” Graham confirms. “Dracthyr have wings so they get to fly and they use the same style of momentum and gravity that dragonriding drakes do. During their starter experience, you get introduced to the new mechanics with tutorials and all that stuff. Heading into building the expansion, knowing that we wanted to create this feature, we had to set up the environment to match. I’ve only gotten to see it myself recently and it shocked me how much it brought me into the world. Being engaged in the act of moving around while flying is very different for WoW, and made me see the environment in a new way.”

Well look at it from the Dracthyr’s position.
“Uh, hi Mr. Dragon. Can I have a ride?”
“LOL! You have wings! Do you not know what they’re for? Hey Steve, get a load of the little guy. He has to walk everywhere cause wings are just for show!”

I wonder if they can glide and double jump like a demon hunter?

That would be interesting to know for sure. Gliding I could see, but I bet the double jump stays with DH.

I’m sold as well. At least until I play it. You never truly know if a class is for you until you get your hands on it.
I am liking everything I’ve seen though so if it feels fun to play it will definitely be my main

I’m already planning out my name and professions. Luckily, years of playing hunters means I have tons of tmog ready for my evoker

I wonder if dragonriding being restricted to the isles means that they’ll get regular flying elsewhere, or nothing.

I was wondering that too. I hope they just give them normal flying outside the Dragon Isles.

I wanna know racial naming conventions. Do they name themselves after a Flight they feel most connected with? Are their names something completely different? I had better come up with multiple ones I like, just in case.

I reserved like 3-4, I haven’t decided yet. I bet there will be a lot of -strasza names getting reserved, better lock it in fast!

there is no an official confirmation for this. In the cinematic no one said that or showed if they could fly freely or not.
