If you think about it, dragon magic is derived from the arcane in the first place, so mage may as well be as dragon-y as evoker. Evokers couldn’t be what they are if the five flights they’re sourced from weren’t granted their powers from the titans and the well of eternity.
It is not a character sheet though it is THE LORE OF THHE PLAYABLE RACE.’
i’m done repeating myself to someone who blatantly wants to be ignorant and stupid, goodbye.
My god you are dense. Alright, you win.
lol yeah wouldn’t be the first absolutely stupid choice they’ve made.
the class is cooler than the race. the race is stupid and looks hideous. mortals using aspect powers is literally a concept so old it dates back to the rpg.
‘class fantasy’ has nothing to do with it. it’s a contrived novelty blizz could improve at any time by removing the anemic gecko requirement
No mortal used aspect powers in warcraft.
search ‘dragonsworn’ on the wiki, bud. it’s not a new idea, and it’s definitely better than test tube lizards.
That’s just your opinion, man.
The class fantasy of Evoker is being a special lizard empowered by Aspect magic. If you don’t like that then you’re SoL, it’s Blizzard’s game.

So from the RPG, they’re the ancestors of the dragonspawn, but aren’t canon, also they didn’t gain aspect powers. They were just thought magic by the dragons. Mostly shadow magic and fire magic but not aspect powers.
Another dragonsworn types are druids in the RPG, not canon, and learned to use the emerald dream powers of the wild from Ysera but that isn’t aspect powers either.
I guess the Kirin Tor could be considered dragonsworn as well since they interact with the blue flight a lot. Again, they use arcane.
lol well you definitely got that right. i’ll never make fun of vulpera for being the dumbest and derpiest race again.
Didn’t Thrall? That was the whole point of him becoming a temporary aspect of earth to keep Azeroth together.
It was more the artifact he had that granted him the powers and they granted him temporary title for it. He himself didn’t wield the aspect powers but the tool he had did.
No, he didn’t use Aspectral Powers. Just Shaman powers, as it was the closest to the powers of earth.

you don’t understand why i bring it up. i know the rpg isn’t canon. it doesn’t give definitive precedent but it can serve as inspiration. the idea that you need to look as bad as the dracthyr do to basically just… use arcane magic is hilarious
(btw the aspects themselves use their powers in visage form all the time)
Personally, I think the bigger shame is that by allowing non-evokers to fight in visage form, it likely doomed the possibility of ever being able to choose other races as a visage.
Blizzard has negative incentive to allow dracthyr to essentially be a “change your race for free” option. It makes me wish that visages were evoker-only, since it would provide a “lore friendly” workaround to the class being limited to dracthyr. But now it’s too late.
It sucks because dracthyr themselves feel like 1/4th of a race if the current visage options don’t appeal to you. All of those customization options become worthless and may as well not exist.
I mean, they don’t use arcane magic, it is blue magic. Now how that is different I do not know. Wow stuff.
Yes, but they are full dragons so they get leeway, also they do go full dragon when it becomes seriousl. Like you can use living flame in visage mode but using actual dragon powers needs a dragon body.
He also had the artifact that had some of the earth wardens powers. Same artifact used to go giant laser on death wing and said artfact getting destroyed.

Or you know…just finish the job and let Dracthyr transmog everything. We have Tauren, Worgen, Pandaren, etc. so what is the reason they do not allow Dracthyr to transmog? Can’t be because of the wings, can’t be clipping issues, can’t be because of stretching issues…

Aye, full transmog for dragon form.
it’s not diff, dude. they’re the exact same thing.
also the aspects ‘having special rules’ makes this even funnier; it’s clearly not a logic thing, because logic doesn’t have anything to do with it. it’s not a rule of the setting, it’s just a gameplay limitation of a class
I think that blue definition on some of their spells is just to help designate what flight it’s coming from for the sake of talents. The whole point behind the blue dragonflight was that they were the overseers and (originally) encouragers of the same arcane magic that mages use. To separate them negates the entire narrative point of the blue flight.
