Its kind of a technical issue more than anything else. in terms of game design, theres nothing special about a warlock. that is to say, you just have casting animations (which are often shared across classes) and the demon pets (which all warlocks use the same models for pets). its easy enough to put a new race into that class if they already have casting animations (which since a lot of casting animations are used by quests to have you activate powers of stuff, every race gets them)
with druids, they all have unique base forms. each raceās bear looks different (even if only slightly), their cat all looks differentā¦ etc etcā¦ the same goes for shaman with their totems. each race has a unique totem. this also applies to paladins with the paladin mount and would likely also apply to demon hunters and evokers if ever they start opening them up to more races (with demon hunters needing unique racial looks for the metamorphosis and demon hunter character options needing to be modeled over each race and evokers need for a way to use dragon powers on a non-dragon race likely involving a racial transformation to āinfuseā them and likely have character options as well)
i want pandarian druids moreā¦ i wanna be a bear who turns into a bear

And belf druids
I love the Ahn Quirag sets to pieces.
Can we please at least have the option to use the human form of your Dracthyr on the login screen? Even if itās a global toggle in the settings or something.
on my zandalari druid and my kultiran druid i am using the base forms for because the base forms are cool. in fact, my whole transmog on my zandalari druid is based around being a dinomancer. i would absolutely love good dracthyr druid forms and if they are good enough would totally rock them. with that said, they at least already have a few models for good/acceptable forms the dracthyr could use. flight form would obviously be a drake, travel form could be the Vorquin (the dragon horse thing thats basically their racial ground mount). swim form iād be ok with them modifying the zandalari trollās swim formā¦ remove the tusks and zandalari jewelery and add some draconic features like small horns and maybe a more dragon like mouth instead of the dino like mouth and itād be good. cat form could be something like the razorwing mounts (modifying the mouth/head to make it slightly more draconic as well). boomkinā¦ im not sure if thatād need a form given the customization options available to boomkin now but i guess a āclassicā form they could use would likely be something like a drakonid or tarasek (though making them unique and giving them a dragonspawn form instead would be awesome). honestly, bear form is the only form i donāt really have any ideas for
Both Glide and Soar are the best racial abilities in my opinion. I love them both.

But they still canāt figure out how to put clothes on as dragons.

Iām guessing itās the Dracthyr model that canāt fit most gear.
Nah, thatās their lazy excuse. They found a way to fit gear onto the male worgen, and dracthyr are much more humanoid than that.

Thatās the only reason I can think of.
Paladin: Tyrs guard
Shaman: Vyrenoth primalists
Druid: Malfurion in Amirdrassil in the Ohnaran plains
Someone explain why canāt Dracs be those three classes.
Assets??
Zanda troll released with all three ASSESTS mid BFA, the expansion they were released.

OMG, the Shaman! I anticipate many wipes when I see one pop ascendance. Everybody will fall out of their chair in fits of laughter.
I think itās less than it canāt fit and more that they didnāt want to invest the time to go back and fit hundreds of models onto the model. Notice that the new race we got is based on the dwarf model, so they didnāt need to use any new resources to make gear fit onto them.

Worgen have a fraction of the extras (no tails on the player model for one, and while draenei have tails, theyāre generally small and also clip on everything)
Yeah, thatās the thing about 3d modeling. You can just have things like wings and tails clip through things most of the time, and people wonāt even bat an eyelash.

Can we please just have confirmation that the other classes are being worked onā¦
There has to be devs who play those classes and wanted to be Dracs.
Please communicate it with us

For Drakthyr I think applying more tanks would be a great addition in the future. I have my DK favoritism but reading through the forums it looks as more Drakthyr tank options is one that can be done in the future and be recived well by the community, ether by adding Monk and/or Death Knight classes. Would be a great benefit to expanding their options. Lore wise its very simpleā¦Drakthyr learning the new talents from the main city of ally races took too Hunter, Warriors, mages, warlocks, priests, and rougesā¦but while exploring greater lands led a great many encountersā¦these are two of the stories.
Herkel was the firstā¦a Drakthyr who died in the fall of Dalaran, Bolvar Fordragon upon coming into the Isle of Dorn heeding the call of the war to come brought forth Herkel. who upon being reborn as a Death Knight, this previous traveling trader found a new found vigor and purpose seeing all the fallen buildingsā¦to protect the future of the innocents he must fight.
Derkel or the wind fistā¦Derkel was a rouge of the hordeā¦traveling among a band of traveling good raiders, which lead him to the isle of Pandaria. Attempting to steal the brew of the Mudmug clan they failedā¦brew elementals devistated the raiding group but where he would have expected prison. Derkel found he was charged with community service while on the island. Learning of peace and skills of the fist from pandarians. He eventurally worked his way out of his community service and continued to live a life of the vagabond traveler all over pandaria. taking to the pandarians learned the ways fully learning the ways of the monk. Being of a social drinker he specialized as a drunken fist but since he talked so much he ironically gained the name Wind Fistā¦for how much his long winded tirades occure when fighting.
There the stories of herkel and derkel the first monk and DK drakthyrā¦now Blizzard roll with it.
