Or just instead just give everyone a way to glide. Could be like GW2. A skill you could train up or something and customise between characters. Things like Demon Hunters and Dracthyr would be able to glide with their own wings, but everyone would have the functionality with a glider of their own.
Spread the fun around. Don’t just look for ways to stamp it out.
Or, keep some things gameplay wise unique.
Certain classes should not have this mechanic.
Delete Dracthyr.
That’s a W for Shamans.

Why should the one race with wings get them clipped to preserve the feelings of a bunch of perpetual complainers
Well considering AZEROTH’s response by giving the aspects their powers back in the cutscene after you kill Fyrakk in the raid, answers that question, doesn’t it? Also if Orcs & Dranei can be DKs and Shamans (non natural denizens of Azeroth)? Also the lore around death and being allowed to be brought back to life/undeath was explained in the SL if you have ever done the Bastion daily quest of judging souls. The Dracthyr do not sit outside of the lore regarding who can be raised to undeath & again watch WoTLK expansion cinematic of Athras raising a Dracolich, there is no reason why Dracthyr should be able to be DKs✌🏾
Evoker getting a tank spec when?
So I was thinking about making a Drac Warrior but with Tail Swipe removal that’s out the window. A MELEE ability that a melee class won’t be able to use, an ability that would be perfect for a melee class and would make sense for a melee class way more than for a caster class. Brilliant move there blizz.
I like how there’s not even a Dracthyr in their own promotion picture. Just the magic elves lol
Azeroth (the worldsoul) is not the elements.
Orcs first learned to commune with Draenor’s elements, but the teachings barely survived the fall of Draenor until Thrall was able to teach shamanism to most modern orcs. Likewise, the Broken Farseer Nobundo taught Draenei shamanism, so both only learned it in a widespread manner relatively recently. All Dracthyr were trained under Neltharion thousands of years ago, and he certainly would not have been able to raise a sect of Shaman soldiers. As a side note, Fyrakk’s essence/soul/whatever has also probably manifested into the new firelord.
Being Undead does not make you a death knight, they are a specially empowered form of Undead raised by and imbued with very powerful necromantic magic. First by Gul’dan, then the Lich King. There is no Lich King any more to raise new death knights from deceased Dracthyr.
Because it breaks other classes not designed around flight
Glide is not flight. It’s a slowfall that breaks on any action.
Most classes aren’t designed to have the best tank cd in the game either.
it has a thrust built in that propels you forward when you jump again after the first jump. This makes you much faster than other people when running around. The non-evoker classes are not designed with this in mind. Evoker is. This is not a cooldown or a niche use case, its a persistent spammable mechanic. And on top of that you get an aoe interrupt. (you even had two but that was already insanely broken)
Thats the end of it. This is why it cannot go to those classes and why it is broken.
I imagine “never,” now.
We were never gonna pull the ripcord.
We were never gonna turn ranged survival into melee survival.
We were never gonna change frost dk to dps so that blood could tank.
We were never gonna get shadow form back for priests.
We were never gonna get tiersets back.
Never doesn’t mean a whole lot.
You are right, the odds are low, but not zero unless blatantly confirmed.
However, I am not holding out. It is a different set of circumstances for a class that already received an extra spec [that should have been, but was not, a tank spec].
They missed the opportunity and dracthyr [prot] warrior is likely a bandage for it.
A reasonable enough position. However, I will continue to hold out. The vibe is so close to being perfect, and frankly speaking the general design of Aug is not one I care to see repeated.
Waiting for Night Elf pally.
But. They’re…gnomes…
