Dragon Race > Dragon Class

Ah, so you dont actually want the Powers that the Dragons Have, You just want to hit things with your dragon body parts?

yep, I ONLY want two abilities, wing buffet and tail swipe. If blizzard included any more the fantasy would be ruined for me.

please use your noggin just a bit.

EDIT: I also find it funny that you’re complaining about a dragon class being derivative but are posting on a DH

So you want to play as a dragon, not a dragon knight?

If dragon knight was a class that would be a bit rough to make work. Does the mortal who is the class currupted to look like a dragon?

Typing that made me urk a bit.

sure!

give thme wings and a tail! make them unique.

or perhaps they conjure those draconic aspects when they use their abilities.

but also you guys are taking my examples a bit too literally.

they can have time powers from the bronze dragon flight that let them buff and debuff enemies!
cauterizing healing from the red!
offensive nature magic from the green!
tank powers from blue by manipulating arcane engergies to protect themselves!
earth tank powers from black! (ok, this would probably make shaman too salty)

hell, why are we even limiting ourselves to the dragon aspects flights? we could have stuff from the netherwings! the twilight dragons! the infinite flight! the storm drakes!

I don’t think you’re quite cut out for the fantasy genre if having wings upsets you.

This is why I think its going to be a revamp of Covenants and not a new class. They just need to twist it a little bit and the hype train will do the rest of the work.

I’m quite cut out for the fantasy genre, I just don’t want the games I play in it to be copy pastes of each other.

Play a demon hunter? Or druid? wings don’t make them unique.

Breath attacks basically.

Arcane mages.

Play an undead being healed by a source of light magic if that suits your tastes, that is exactly what happens to them every time.

Druids again.

mages territory.

Yes it would. I think shamans should get a earth spec really, that element is underrepresented.

Because those are not dragonflights, they are mutated dragons really that don’t have equal powers to the flights.

I’m just not sure how they’d do it.

Transform into a whelp like worgen to fly around, and a ‘draconic looking’ alteration of an existing race?

No?
I mean, Except for the 5 Aspects, all the Dragons we’ve encountered have been perfect replications of humanoids.
I would just expect a special race that can look like any of the existing races. And has a special mount that behaves like a customizable Vial of the Sands.

This is making me seethe in hatred right now. No more borrowed power!

I feel model toggle vibes from this.

Why not?. I think you should speak freely and not hold back on what you think and feel and not slave yourself to public perception.

bonus: You play Demon Hunter, act like one.

Base it on HotS Dragon characters Alexstraza (Heals), Chromie (DPS), and Deathwing (Tank) and it won’t overlap with any existing class.

do you have wings?

reading comprehension. Know what you’re replying to.

nope.

not at all the same thing.

also nope.

mages can’t tank.

I agree, I only listed that one there for the sake of listing all the flights.

/sigh
yes they are flights.
and no the primary ones aren’t really all the much more powerful than the lesser ones since they lost their powers in cataclysm.

avengers wrath.

I do know.

yup.

Actually it is. They are burned by the light.

Druids use nature/life magic, so yes it is.

But they use arcane baised defensive skills, used often in pvp.

Not really.

They all can still use their powers to the fullest extent. Only the aspects lost allot of their powers.

If dragons are real they will be a race/class combo.

A dragon playing a class would be a major downplay for dragons.

euh crossfaction is comming up next patch anyway

I would personally rather get a dragon race that can morph into and out of dragon forms but so that you can choose when to morph, not uncontrollable like worgen. Because I love mogging but also would sometimes feel like tanking as prot paladin in dragon form.

I agree here, but if the (probably fake) leak about micro classes is true, I’d be super excited for that and I think there can be a bit of overlap much how Demon Hunters and Warlocks Overlap thematically but play radically different.

Precisely, I was getting ready to post this when I saw the title:

Hypothetically, they could even merge the two concepts of “race” and “class” into a singular entity.

In short, if you have playable dragons, you need to express that in gameplay.

A dragon race that is just a race would be the most boring and meaningless addition in the entire history of the game.

And if the leaks are true the dragons can look like whatever race they want but with horns and have their own exclusive class.
