What other classes would you like to see implemented in game for Dracthyr?
I think we all agree that warrior, mage, priest, hunter, rogue make sense for Dracthyr.
How about druids or warlocks, though?
I find amusing the idea of a dracthyr destro warlock. Dragons spitting Chaos bolts out of their mouths?
Yes please
Edit:
The famous interview some of you keep quoting here says nothing new - that Dracthyr are supposed to be one race, one class and that no other classes are coming for Dracthyr in the near future.
Ion on the other hand said it was quite possible for Dracthyr to be other classes down the line (so not in the near future either, but there’s the possibility):
It’s definitely possible down the line. I think it’s exceedingly unlikely that any race other than Dracthyr could ever been an Evoker because you need wings, you need the ability to literally breath Draconic energy to perform any of the abilities. The Dracthyr that we’re meeting are all Evokers because that’s what they were created by Neltharion to be. That is their unique gift, they can channel the power of all the Dragonflights and this is who they are. Now as they emerge in Azeroth and integrate with the Alliance and Horde over time, could they learn to pick up an axe and be a great warrior, quite possibly, but that’s not where their story is starting in Dragonflight.
And even if they said a clear “No!”, I still remember their big fat “No!!” to Classic, further customizations for ARs during SL, blue eyed blood elves and normal hair/skin colors for void elves. So don’t blame me if I think their denial is meaningless.
If evokers are the best of the best among the drakthyr, then I could easily see warriors and hunters as the leftovers. Lizards can be very fast and stealthy, so rogues, sure.
I feel like shaman could be a possibility, but would that put them more in line with the primalist ideology than the titans? I wonder how Neltharion would have responded to a drakthyr shaman.
If I recall the encounters with all dragon kind, almost all classes besides Demon Hunter, Death Knight, Shamans, and using guns. There’s been Drakk warlock and paladins.
edit: The Shaman situation is up for debate but I would say it’s held by foes that fell to that power against us.
In a game where people value choice, I find the one race, one class idea akin to a pigeon hole, something few people would admit to liking. I hope they free up Evoker to other races, and let Dracthyr be any class they want at some point, later in the expansion.
assuming that the OP might be suffering from multiple personality syndrome… that or they’ve got that disability where they think they can speak for more than themselves.
I am only guessing the only reason for pigeon holing Dracthyr as only Evoker (right now) is that they need time to adjust armor to fit Dracthyr. My prediction is that they are going to ease up on Dracthyr class restrictions some time in the future. Most likely next expansion.
Also I dunno about alliance but ebonhorn confirms that dracthyr visages are unique compares to regular dragons. So I doubt they’ll get more racial visages
