So, since Glide is a Dracthyr racial ability, does that mean I’ll be able to use it with all classes allowed (Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Mage, Warrior, or Warloc)?
Not everyone plays Dev and Aug/Pres have a handful of abilities between them that would force a swap.
In any case, at least the option would exist for anyone who wanted to use it.
Drakonids were never on the table
Guess they didn’t hang around Paladins, Druids, Monks, Shamans…I can excuse DH and maybe DK and we all know why Paladins, Druids and Shamans didn’t make the list…but Monks? Really?

This is ridiculous and if you’re going to remove glide from racials you might as well just roll a different race. Not playing evoker is already sacrificing about 4/5 of the dragon fantasy, losing the ability to use wings because of a racial that’s not even as good as stoneform is deeply absurd

I completely agree. Glide is too much of an advantage to be tied to a race. You can even time it while walking around to move at basically 170% movement speed all the time.
If Glide is kept as a racial, I think it’ll have long-term consequences in fight designs such as making sure there aren’t any lethal knockback mechanics or else players will feel forced to play Dracthyr to make things easier for themselves, and plenty of ‘move-out-of-things’ mechanics would have to be designed with most classes potentially having access to bursts of move speed all the time in mind.
It’ll feel weird that non-evokers can’t use their wings all the time, yes, but I think it’s a small price to pay to avoid those potential issues in the future.

In a way yes! they failed, well in a lot of ways, I for instance would like more customization for the the races, with out the racial power, like forsaken beards, and straight backs, horns for warlocks.
But yeah of course is cool for people who can enjoy being a demi-dragon, to me personally just was some wated potential

No, these Ascendance forms are a hard no. Dear god please fix these, or give us a glyph to use the old ones.
Most of the form is fine, except the head/“hair”. Just turn the head into some vague elemental shape. It doesn’t need a skull in it or afro clown hair.

No DKs. 
This company and the WoW devs never fail to disappoint.

I’d like to throw my hat in here for Dracthyr Paladin and/or druid, shaman as well. I had heard they were doing animations for other classes and got WAY to excited about a dragon paladin. I can only hope someone at Blizzard reads this and just notes some of us really want a dargonadin! Please and Thank you <3

I completely disagree. I want to glide and soar as a Dracthyr Mage. It absolutely should be kept as a racial.

This is really great if you’re one of these classes that already gets to be whatever race they want. Meanwhile, Shaman, Paladins and Druids are left with no new race class combinations yet again.
I get it, not every race makes sense for these classes, but some do. The fact that we’re over two years into this process and still these classes have nothing is honestly pretty disappointing. Especially as a Shaman main where we literally had an expansion of primal elementalists where class race expansion would have made the most sense lore wise.

Why no paladin?
Will the Dracthyr be able to wear the transmogs of their new classes while in Dracthyr form or do they remain as is?

Glide, Tail swipe and and wing buffet should absolutely stay racials, even the added cooldown is a bit much

They are either going to start in the Dracthyr starter zone at level 10 or in Exiles Reach at level 1 is my guess.
Going to have to wait when they come out to see.
I wished Dracthyr rouge, mage warrior, death knight and druid.
I get why they can’t be dk’s, but with the green dragonflight they had them to teach Dracthyr druidism and the dragon isles animals to use as racial forms.
I knew if they gave an inch to the whiners people would try to make dracthyr racials worse

“I completely disagree.”
Reason?
“Me wants. Gibs me dats.”
WoW players are honestly one of the worst breeds. This poor game. It never knew what it was taking upon itself.
More like “I completely disagree as these racials are inherent to dracthyr and removing them is too much of a trade off from the dragon fantasy for most people who might briefly entertain a different class than evoker. Besides, the devs have already stated what the nerfs would be and they don’t include removing glide.”
But we’ve established that you love to reduce everything to facile nonsense.
