Dracthyr racials are miles above other races

Still doesn’t come close to bonus crit damage or pet damage for BM

Lol no they don’t. They’re releasing a race with blatantly superior racial abilities and I’d argue they just want to sell race changes with how OP they are.

Shortly after they’ll say “Oh yeah they’re OP we’re nerfing X” once people have already race-changed to fund more race changes.

Personally, the glide racial is the one I feel most fits the race. The other two are take or leave.

Making my wings near useless is NOT negotiable.

Press X to doubt.

Edit, when I said “they”, I was talking about the community, not blizzard.

I still doubt that’s blizzards intent anyway, but I wasn’t talking about them.

Lol okay. Doubt if you will. The racials are clearly superior to current races.

As a warlock why would you even have burning rush on your bar anymore as a dracthyr?

That these are literally going to make classes have dead buttons kind of cracks me up.

Nah, but outside BM Hunters it’ll probably be roughly on par with most other racials. 2% Crit damage (Dwarf/Tauren) will likely slightly edge it out, but it’ll be the utility racials like Glide that’ll make Drac’thyr appealing.

Eh, I’d argue that this is more a problem with Blizzard simply having a lack of foresight in Evoker development where they never really considered how to seperate the class power of Evoker and the racial power of Drac’thyr.

Burning Rush is 70%. Glides momentum isn’t that good.

Plus, healers will get bored if I dont have 100% uptime on Burning Rush. Also IIRC Glides momentum is affected by slows, so it’ll still be better to scoot away with Burning Rush if there is a heavy slow on you.

They need a nerf. Dracthyr are op and so are Evoker with absoring up to 5 CC.

That’s not what makes aug so good.

Personally I say put the CCs on DR. Problem solved.

I had to double check to be sure but both wowhead and my 80 lock are telling me that it’s 50%.

I would not even put that on my bar if I can get >30% for free. I def wouldn’t talent it though for that extra 20%. No way I’m spending that talent on rush with a racial speed increase.

You don’t say lol knew expanding class options would be problematic due to racials should of just treated Dracthyr Evoker as a glorified class and expanded it to all races via visage options. Nerfs have hit their racials though already specifically the two cc abilities now both 3 minutes long and well feel like thats gonna hurt Evokers who don’t take the cooldown reduction talents.

Can anyone here explain why Humans only have 3 racials now while others have 5 or 6? I’m seriously considering using my boost to change my DK because of it.

Talent makes it 70% (and you should always take the talent TBH, does SO much damage without it).

And Drac’thyr glide doesn’t suppress slows like Burning Rush does.

It’s good. REALLY good. But it doesn’t replace Burning Rush.

Idk I think in many situations it would. No damage, no juggling whether or not it’s toggled on, just a few taps of the space bar and you’re out of that mechanic.

So I just did some tests. Slows completely cook the momentum you get from gliding. Speed boosts appear to stack with it.

So you’re gunna still want Burning Rush.

Interrupts on a 3 minutes cd and a glide is nothing compared to stoneform.

But yes, we do soar miles above the other races.

2 interrupts. Not just one.

Movement speed increase.

Ability to stop knockbacks.

Oh no how horrible they gave hunter a disengage.

Still not as bad as meld is in pvp.

Mmkay, well when they nerf the racials for all classes including evokers I’m gonna laugh at you, because it’s blatantly OP

They need to make it so gliding -slows- your character rather than speeds them up imo. At least for non-evokers (The 30% is part of evoker’s mobility toolkit so nerf/buff it accordingly).
