They were created to be Neltharion’s perfect soldiers. It could be as simple as saying that they trained in a variety of combat styles to allow versatility on the battlefield, to help with logistics, and to promote information gathering (all of which is very important in war) before going to sleep for 10000 years.
This explanation doesn’t work for more recent additions, such as paladins or death knights, as they didn’t exist at the time. It also doesn’t work for a few others but it definitely covers the basic martial classes.
Lore is flexible and arbitrary is my point. They could definitely make the class examples I made work if they wanted to.
I’ll give you an easy answer just like in question like who would win a fight between Goku and Superman. It’s what ever the author wants it to be! That’s it they could literally decide on what ever they want it to be.
You find out that you’ve been asleep for a very long time, and so the directed experience is one of discovery and finding out what happened to you and befell your leader, Neltharion aka Deathwing. Many of the other Dragons didn’t know about you, Alexstraza didn’t even know about you.
Impressive. I didn’t think they could make them any more restrictive.
In this section I’d add they only have one body type (with “slight” variations) and can’t use mogging for most item slots, only some options in the barber shop.
The problem isn’t really the one per server…it’s that if you want to make one of a different server you will have to level another toon to 50 first…or pay for a boost…or pay for a character transfer
I’m just stuck playing it because Dracthyr are basically my dream race, and Blizz made it so they can only be one class. To be fair, that class is also right in my wheelhouse, so I am not too unhappy. I love casters and healers.
This isn’t any different than how Death Knights and Demon Hunters started out. Only one per server and you needed a high level character to unlock them.
