The Dracthyr Spread their Wings to New Classes

I would simply rather not join the inevitable chorus of whiners who will demand nerfs that will only prove further that this was a mistake.

They should have deved a tank spec for evo instead.

" * Tail Swipe and Wing Buffet no longer automatically shift you into Dracthyr form for all classes except Evoker."

Itā€™s in the patch notes.

FWIW I hate this on a profound level.

Yea it makes no sense.

We canā€™t let Evokers fight in visage form because they do dragon attacks.

Hey other classes, here is a special animation for your dragon attacks so you donā€™t have to use dragon form.

My problem here is that it doesnā€™t break visage, which IMO it should for everyone.

I donā€™t buy the necessity of perma visage and think everyone who requests this is annoying and will probably end up being part of the reason the race gets screwed up more and more down the line to satisfy a small, loud, annoying contingent of malcontents .

Iā€™d honestly just prefer better tmog options on my drachtyr, but that requires effort.

Next best thing is to just let me use the model that has access to tmogs already.

I stand corrected. Sorry. =/ I hadnā€™t seen the patch notes were up yet. Thank you for pointing this out to me.

Why no Dracthyr Paladins? :open_mouth:

Also, Iā€™m surprised with all the dead Dracthyr the Knights of the Ebon Blade havenā€™t recruited new DK Dracthyrs.

Same, Evoker is just a dragon flavored mage. And considering it is a Dragon and then wears mail armor on top of itā€™s natural armor, it is far too squishy.

I can face tank world rares for a bit before it becomes and issue but if one of those gets in my face on my Dev Evoker iā€™ve got a problem. Make it make sense.

Glad to see Warrior in the class lineup for them.

Youā€™ll have to give us a sketch, even a very rough line drawing, as to how a Naga rides a mount. Forked tail? Wrap-around?

Mine goes mostly unplayed because Evoker isnā€™t really a ranged class, it is an extended-range melee class with a cast or two. 25 yds? 25 yds!?!?!

Side-saddle.

Shamen Ascendance forms are F.UGLY. Couldnā€™t you have at least made them look cool instead of a bloody EYESORE!!!

Time to open up Evoker to everyone else.

Since weā€™re admitting that nobody actually wants to play a Dracthyr now, we can sweep that nasty little accident under the rug entirely and just let people avoid them.

Any chance we can get a glyph to keep old ascendance form? I was hoping for a new model but these are justā€¦not great, imo.

Allowing more classes for dracthyr is the literal opposite.

And Iā€™d say numbers arenā€™t exactly bad for a race that was literally just added and that is the least humanoid race in the game, not everything can have the popularity of elves and several core races (as well as all but one allied race) are well under that

Allowing visage combat is the literal admission. :smiley:

And, I mean, they should just pull the trigger and give Evokers to other races because nobody really wants to play that gangly looking lizard.

Or itā€™s just admitting that these classes in-lore are less powerful than the literal dragon sorcery class :^)

Seriously though all you do is twist other peopleā€™s words and arguments, and like every annoying forum troll you set your profile so we canā€™t block you so Iā€™d appreciate less of your nonsense.

Dracs are fine.

Oh btw the ā€œganglyā€ dragonkin is still the tallest race in trueform, itā€™s not my problem if the proportions are also better.

Ah so lore matters for this one.

Why?

Werenā€™t Dracthyr genetically designed to be Evokers in the lore?

Why are they mages now?

You can block me by the way. Iā€™d even walk you through how if you like.
