Dracthyr, NEED more Classes

Thematically they could just have a racial to breathe fire. This, paired with the dragon riding mechanics that the race can naturally participate in, is plenty to theme them as a dragon.

Heck, that aside, if they were to design a tank spec for evoker, imagine a tank that has wings and can breathe fire that tanks with a spear + magic. That would be insanely cool.

I just think that less likely than them adding other classes, which is why I’m advocating for additional classes. The race fantasy is there regardless.

But whatever they do… they should be able to tank.

I’ve tanked for over 10 years and I may switch to dps just because it’s a dragon race. Which is what I’ve been hoping would be added since I started playing in 2007.

The race really needs an option to tank, whatever that would be. :confused:

Are Dracthyr even able to hold a weapon?
non of the promotional Material has any weapon in their hands.

They have hands and a skeleton that appears to be based off of another race with some modifications.

So… yes? They almost certainly can. Blizzard has just moved away from casters actually holding their weapons.

Yeah and we will. That’s why the sub count drops every expac lmao.

And so is Blizzard. The risk they’re taking makes no SENSE at all. Nobody would be upset if the Evoker was available to more races. But since it isn’t, people are pissed.

Alpha isn’t even open (correct me if I’m wrong) and they’re already cutting corners. Blizzard is going to **** out another rushed expansion.

You mean like fire mage and frost DKs kinda do already.

Okay?

They breathe fire in that they take a swig of a volatile liquid, light it up, and spray it like a fire breather.

That’s not really a reason to outright refuse to consider the ability for a race to tank. haha

No tank they said it all ready new class only two spec this time healer and dps range

Friendo, look. I’m willing to discuss with you but could you please bring an actual argument for discussion?

You’ve effectively only said “lol no” this whole time and it really doesn’t add anything.

I know what they said. We’re asking for them to reconsider and discussing why we think they should and how they potentially could. That is all.

There is no risk. It’s going to do just fine.

I love Void Elves, don’t get me wrong, in fact I main one currently. But TBF, the entire VOID ELF shtick is to be a conduit of the Void and it’s magic. Meaning that by all rights, Shadow Priest, Affliction Warlock, and Death Knight are the ONLY classes they should have. Since mages can’t even use void spells.

Dracthyr uses the fem worgen skeleton at least this variant we’ve seen of it, so in theory they could port other animations over in time.

There are AT LEAST 3 body type options, maybe some form of slider for Dracthyr form, and they didn’t want to deal with Armor scaling for that. Which is why as of now only Shoulders, Tabards, and Belts are mentioned by Blizz as POSSIBLY showing up in both Visage and Dracthyr form.

They are dragons who are made via Deathwing’s experiments, the lore for could imply both Shaman and even Shadow Priest. Based on Dragons evolving from Elementals, and Deathwing falling to void.

There is a difference between asking for 1 - 3 more classes out of the 13, and asking for ALL 13. MOST people are just asking for a couple more options, with at least ONE tank.

They aren’t FULLY artificial, they are crafted from Deathwing’s experiments, and the dragons are gifted in various class skills. For instance Bronze dragons and Blue Dragons are both good at Arcane skills and spells, ON TOP of their blue or bronze magic. This race is an amalgamation of the 5 most POWERFUL dragon types who evolved from Elementals. It’s a bit absurd to give them even fewer classes then Lightforged Draenei.

You know, I swore that gnomes could be priests in classic.

See? It blows not being able to play the race you want in the role you want. I’m glad they fixed that!

Yeah just like BFA and SL did fine. How much is blizzard paying you

They’re taking several risks with the new expansion.

Barring people that may be interested in one of your expansion’s features from enjoying it is a risk, albeit likely a small one.

I doubt anybody is paying them. That’s not exactly fair.

just to be clear.
the experiments were done by Neltharion before he became Deathwing.
at least that is what I understood.

And 10000 years ago is a long time before conventional Magics was developed.

yeah that’s a good comparison with what’s going on with the dracthyr.

It might not be what you want. They addressed it. The race seems to have a lot of appeal even still.

Big real and true.

Being forced to play ONE race in order to play ONE class is so stupid.

Just let them be whatever.
