Dragon Flight has an easy opportunity for added class identity/fantasy

There’s an added focus among growing and training a new dragon mount. Which I get the appeal, and is definitely fun and enticing.

Something I would be hopeful to see in the future is Class trained flying.

The introduction of the Dracthyr soaring mechanic is a very exciting addition to see. To me this should be something applicable to all classes.

There’s so many different ways on how to go about executing it. To me I feel it should be as simple as learning how to class fly at your class trainer.

Mages will use the element of their spec either frost/fire/arcane to float around.

Monks can use a Zen cloud faster than they already can use them.

Warriors can fly around leaping into the air and swinging their weapon like they’re Thor.

Rogues would be able to sky walk like characters in one piece mastering haki.

Shamans would be able to ride lightning.

Demon Hunters have wings lol. Just add soar.

Paladins would use their holy wings.

Priests would use their Angel wings or shadow depending on spec.

Druids already fly. Just add soar.

Warlocks would float with shadow or fel like sorcery.

Deathknights would utilize path of frost like a silver surfer like style.

Hunters can ride a sweep of arrows they shoot themselves into the air. Or utilize a kite propeller like system.

These are all just ideas off the top of my head, but I’m telling you Blizzard if you are at all potentially reading this. A huge factor why Legion was so cool was the added class fantasy of a class mount.

And with the evolution of the added soar mechanic in the game on Drakthyr. This is so easily applicable to all classes.

Why fly a dragon like we always have, when we can fly among the dragons in Dragon Flight.

So people fall over as I’m walking by? Is that it? I would love this, but this is far from reality.

Lol for Rogue fantasy that’d be pretty hilariously awesome.

I’m just saying class flying with flair on the class itself for representation is the next step for badass class identity.

The introduction of the soar mechanic racial on Dracthyr. That’s a good step in the right direction on mechanics in the game, but I think it should go a step in the direction of class identity and fantasy.

And in the context of how much time has passed. All of our characters are epic champions, and have preserved through so much together. It would make sense for there to be a sense of evolution in a step direction like that.

Tbh thinking about it more similarly to the class mounts in legion. There should definitely be a long class quest chain to achieve it instead of simply buying it. Give a story arc where you are training and learning from npc’s of your same class on perfecting your class flying. It has so much epic potential.
