I’m sorry but it’s baffling how one dimensional you view this in a game of fantasy.
Bruh, it’s an ugly lizard casting firebolt, cone of flame, and lasers. It only requires a dragon form because you arbitrarily think it does.

Or you can simply roll a Dracthyr Warlock, Mage, or Priest if you want the visage form always on. The Evoker class already has the toggle for semi on and always off.

Or you can have dracthyr maintain their magical visage form. See how this “or” thing works?
No, its because Blizzard believed that in order to properly express the abilities of the dragonflights, the player needed a draconic form.
Again, if you believe the Dracthyr form is ugly, the better solution that won’t wreck the purpose of the class is to advocate for a better looking dragon form.

His number one argument always seems to be “No, play the class my way ot gtfo.” Classic gatekeeping.

Then what’s the purpose of the Dracthyr race?
More like, play the class Blizzard’s way or play something else.

Good, effing question. They really dropped the ball there.

Where did they say this?

Is this not just an opinion? Wrecking the class because you don’t want to see other players have a choice of what they’re looking at? Seems a bit weird and a stretch to say “wreck the class”

I believe that any class can be played by any race, as long as there’s a logical and well-founded justification that doesn’t further butcher the lore. Yes, gameplay is important, but if it comes at the expense of world-building and story coherence, it’s better not to force it.
I’m well aware that half the player base doesn’t care about Warcraft’s story and just wants to kill stuff in raids or MM+, but let’s not forget that this is still an RPG at its core.
The issue with Evokers is that Blizzard has locked the class exclusively to Dracthyrs, as they were literally created to be Evokers. So unless someone comes up with an explanation so ridiculous it would make a Tiny Toon adventure look like Shakespeare, this request is a lost cause for now…

HUH?! lmao. If I worked for Blizzard I could tell you. Maybe if you worked for Blizzard, your opinions would hold a bit more weight than everyone elses’ (just a bit).

Yeah, never question the game or ask for anything. Blizzard is always right.
No no, don’t you see? If they let you play evoker in visage form, then obviously blizzard is going to delete hover. 
Go to Evoker on wowpedia and go to “Development”.

You’re wrecking the class because the purpose of the class is for the player to be a draconic character using the powers of the 5 dragonflights.

Okay, so add the three or so animations required for evokers to cast in visage form and call it a day. No retcon needed.

I started replying until I read this part that you’re doubling down on. You’re 100% trolling at this point with your opinion. It’s not worth discussing anything with you on this moving forward. Good day.

Lol, indeed. It’s the forums; there is no point to any of this. Let’s me avoid work, tho
Again, you seem to not understand (or outright ignore) the fact that in order for the dragon class to work, you need to be a dragon. You take away the latter you unravel the former.
Like I’ve said numerous times; If you want to be a magical class that doesn’t require the Dracthyr form, you have NUMEROUS alternatives. Leave the Evoker class be.
If only there was a way to be a dragon, but not look like a hideous deviant art spyro knock off? Maybe take an elf or human model, give it scales, horns and cool looking eyes… really put a lot of work into it, ya know? Then let players use that when playing the class that is arbitrarily dragon flavored.
Can we really say it’s just an animation issue at this point? When looking at what they wrote during the introduction of the permanent visage form for other classes, it was clearly stated that Dracthyr Evokers primarily use spells based on their original form, and that there was no reason to change this.
It’s easy to understand that they simply don’t want Evokers to be playable in their humanoid form. To them, this class is inherently tied to its draconic form, and it wouldn’t make sense to use this kind of magic or attacks while in a human-like appearance.
It would be as absurd as asking a warrior to cast a fireball or create a portal.

Again, advocate for more options with the dragon form. Giving players the ability to look like a Primalist in Dracthyr form, or having Sarkareth’s void appearance in Aberrus for example is a more feasible ask than dumping the entire purpose of the class.
