Dracthyr can only be humans/elves right? Honestly probably doing it like this to boost Alliance population. No one wants to be a human on Horde. If this is their goal, it’s smart
atm, dracthyr is a neutral race with only one class, the customization for drathyr is apart of the visage form is a human (female) and a blood elf (male)
Problem comes with it being a single class race.

But you want to be a dragon on horde, right?
so just don’t use visage

Evoker being ranged is great. I have no issue whatsoever with that. So long as Dracthyr get other classes eventually.
I just want to tank on a dragon.

They’re just reiterating what Ion said with less details.
The rest of the post is really interesting though. Knowing how the deep breath works is nice.
I’ve got some dang muscle memory built up with heroic leap so I imagine that’ll lend itself to that bombing run thing. Haha

the Overhead flying breath seems weird to me … you basically are forced out of position or into melee range upon using 
Yeah, I imagine that you’ll have to be careful with it like other movement abilities that do damage.
hmm brains are not evolved enough to pick up a stick and shield hey blizzard?
I think the race lock makes sense from an RPG standpoint.
I don’t like Zandalari Paladins, Tauren Paladins, Draenei Shaman who are not Broken, and I don’t like Night Elf mages just to name a few race class combos I hate.
All of the Aspects present as Elves and Humans. It’s fitting that this is what Dracthyr can present as, and I don’t see why Dracthyr would be anything other than this Evoker class.
But I do understand that this is going to be unpopular from people just wanting everything with no limits

The only issue I have is that they cannot tank. If evoker could tank, I wouldn’t want other classes, and if they had other classes I wouldn’t want evoker to tank.
RPG aspects are important, but you shouldn’t lock a race out of one of the roles of the triad entirely. They could have easily designed a tanking spec for Evoker had they wanted to.
But since they didn’t (and I don’t mind that) they need some other classes. From what Ion said it sounds like they will get some others someday too, just probably not for launch.

So you want drathyr to be a class with extra steps. It really is not a true race until it has mite options then one class
Undead in this game is a Race. But something being undead does not make it part of the Undead race.
That is why I said Technically …
I mean they are Undead based on their class flavor.
just undead that aren’t forsaken
As long as we understand that Deathknights aren’t a race which is what you were following up on with your technically.
Some people just dont understand Drakthyr. Drakthyr arent going to risk damaging themselves for some of azoroths champions so soon after having azeroths spotlight reveal their existence. If I was a Drakthyr, the thought of me sustaining direct damage for a bunch of humans and elves and taurens and orcs and undead is a notion I would relentlessly scoff at.
The audacity would be very palpable.
Hmmm… most dragons are prideful of their tough hide and scales as tough as iron. So I would disagree in my opinion.
These arent Dragons. Theyre Drakthyr. I imagine theyre incredibly prideful.

I don’t have a problem with it, since the race is a dragon, and the class is essentially dragon abilities and spells. They go hand and hand with each other.
If you had a dracthyr warrior for example, they wouldn’t be able to use their wings, claws, tails, or firebreath. Doesn’t sound very interesting to play as.
Sounds perfectly fine to me. Different people have different ideas of interesting when it comes to fantasy.
