@@Spike-xv1ts True! The vulpera campaight is really unique but I feel like the Drakthyr racial offers a lot more functionally, while at the same time really appealing to the fantasy of playing a dragon
@@rumbleshakes since they can only be Evokers I think this is fine. They could have made those racials a class ability instead and nothing would change
the only thing i feel is slightly odd is the 5 min cooldown on the soaring abilities, i personally think it should be shorter, cause it won't necessarily always be used for actual combat related stuff
@@Dr.mandril Zandalari should probably be on like a 3 minute CD but I think Soar shouldn't have a CD at all. It's just a worse version of what every other class is gonna be able to do with their mount anyway. Edit: Soar should have no CD in the Dragon Isles, I mean. It should have a CD in other continents where others don't have Dragonriding because it IS quite a bit faster than normal flight.
Me 2, or at least if they can give us a regular flight form like druids have, but we do it in our Meta form... I mean, look at General Draven, the model has the animations allready and those Venthyr gargoyles are nothing more than a re-skin of the DH Metamorphosis form.
I doubt they will. Just cause it would cause a bunch of problems with the amount of customization, and even basic stuff like when you decide which faction to join. If that's anything like the pandaren, you'd have to chose your visage form after that choice and that would probably mean rewrites etc for the entire starting zone. That said, it'd still be pretty cool haha
Oh I love that they added a nice flavour passive to visage form. That's really cool. I love that they're making it a much more regular part of your being, unlike worgens' human form.
I wish there was a different aura for Dracthyr form so I wouldn't feel pressure to swap between pulls in M+. I also wanna be a Dragon like 99% of the time, which I unfortunately won't be able to because of mounts. Hopefully they can make everyone happy
At least they got soaring, was really hoping they had a permanent flying form like the land mount form for worgens. Still stoked for them tho, gonna be hard playing another race from now on lol
Hi mate, thanks for the great video and sharing the info. I just wanted to correct one thing. Its not a double jump like dh. Drakthyr can jump + glide Dh can jump + jump + glide So dh have 1 extra jump
While I'd hope they'd eventually make a separate flying racial for regular flight, all of these seem really interesting, especially soaring in older areas :)
the fact that we can't use our dragon form as a flying mount, like druids have flight form, really bothers me. Especially after looking at Soar, they have the animation down. IMO Dracthyr should be able to fly without mounts
@@Nick-co9pf Well Demon Hunters didnt get it as a flying mount so I get it I guess but don't Druid get to mount themselves as a flying mount? I think Blizz is afraid to make classes cool and awesome because theres some vets that still play that complain about everything and wish all the classes still sucked and were boring. People dont like change and I think keeping classes weak and boring is part of the allure of the game. i mean, if they just made "God class" and gave them all the abilities no one would bother playing future classes right? So they gotta keep everyone reasonably sucky otherwise Druids would have dozens of transformations, Demon Hunters would have 3 or 4 specs instead of only 2 and would be able to straight up fly, Death Knights would get entire armies of zombies instead of only 15 seconds of nothing, death knights would also get a badass dragon mount that can fight while you mount it, the list goes on and on of things classes would get if Blizz wanted to actually make classes fun cool unique and badass. But they just say "oh it wouldn't be balanced" and what that means is the older classes like Shaman suck so they don't want newer classes to be -too- much better.
1:43 Here's a joke I have pvp, you take the flag of the Alliance, well, or Hordes and fly away, or so you change the point on the map using the example of the Arathi Basin, you take stables, you take sawmills, it will also be tin, think for yourself
Pretty disappointed that they don’t get a version of running wild for normal flying. Dragon Riding flight is cool, but a 5min CD is a bit too long. I’d say 2-3mins max. It would be cool if you could use a glyph to turn it into normal flying.
I can imagine that happening. It makes sense at first they’d only have one class as they’re newly awakened. But as they mingle with the other races, they’ll no doubt be taught in the ways of mages etc.
Serious question, Why is Druid the only class that can fly? Druids have a Flight Form. This flight form can also gather certain nodes while mounted. Demon Hunters have wings, Illidan can fly, Players cannot. Dragons have wings. CAN fly. On a 5minute CD. Why can we not open up flying to these other classes?
They lock so much fun behind ridiculous CDs, especially with cosmetic and fun toys. These CDs seem pointless, with the zone and indoor/outdoor limitations already I implemented. Maybe it’s just me??
It’s been confirmed that they’ll be able to play as other classes sometime after dragonisles has been released, we’re not sure if it’ll be in a 10.1/10.2 patch or if it means in the expansion after this.
Agreed, I gotta wonder, how it makes sense, that they cant fly like a mount would, even though they got wings. And worgen even had their form getting a ground mount, so why cant dracthyr get a flying mount for their form.
I am speechless, this is better than I imagined, the soaring racial is awesome, and I’m glad the visage form is useful, I wish the mounting feature on dracthyr would change for worgen as well, and the healing and allowing some abilities to be used in visage, so worgen racial updates plz!!
I feel like they should at least be able to use polearms. Maaaaybe shields, too? I get the casters and polearms aren’t really a thing, just… you know. Feels right for a dragon. Also seen plenty of them used by dragonkin mobs in WoW prior.
I understand they needed to need the speed for soar, but I pray one day they’ll be able to bring it up to a really fast speed when flying. I think it’s so much fun the faster you can go.
I hope in the future they let the Dracthyr mount in dragon form, I know it looks weird but I really don't intend to use my visage form except for the buff, I wanna be a lizard! haha
Quick question, cuz they are spell casters, Can they DW? if not, staff would be the only item worth using? cuz you can't DW 2 x spell weapons? or are do they get SP from Agi or something?
As with others races they should have specially abilities and powers only for themselves culture also add things that would work well for dracthyr people they are very much creative half dragons
Why is there a 5 min cooldown in soar ? One of the most interesting racials and we can only use it 12 times / hour ... It could be better without any cooldown like how worgen work.
Meanwhile worgen get a 1% crit racial and crappy 30% movement speed for 10/12 seconds on a 2 minute cooldown. Running wild and form change do not provide and passive buffs like drak,thyr do 😔
yeah but atleast I can still mount up as a worgen in both forms unlike these guys in their dragon forms. I'll take the trade off for limited gimped flying.
@@midwestbox Don't forget that we can play other classes too. The huge turn-off is both the class restrictions AND the forced visages. Like, we're supposed to be playing dragons, not people! If anything, if would make more sense to have worgens switch from human to werewolf because they're humans who got cursed, but the drakthyrs? They're born dragons and they're the ones who feel like they got hit by a curse... Should be an option like a glyph to completely switch off the visage form, including changing the buff for those who don't wanna see it and feel more immersed as dragons, and so that people who want to see more of the visage can still have the option to keep things as they are. It would also make things more unique! I'm sure things will change for the better and despite those two huge turn-offs, I ADORE how they look.
honestly... It would be so cool if most classes can fly too. Maybe not to that extent, but why cant Demon Hunters fly, they got wings afterall. Paladins get magic wings too! Warlocks used to have that demon forg glyph back then right? BRUH class fantasy needs to be a permanent thing
the allied race racials as well as the dracthyr racials really make me hope that blizzard retunes base race racials as well. as it stands, if you pick a certain race when you're starting out, you basically have no choice but to switch later since their racials are just completely useless compared to everyone else (good example being worgen)
it's just such a bummer that they can't wear armor in their dragon form. Worgen can? Also I wish they'd change the idle standing animation of the visage form because that blood elf pose just makes them look like blood elves again
Dracthyr is not intended to receive any other classes because their racials, tailswipe and dragon buffet are balanced as a part of Evokers toolkit. If Dracthyr got any other class, they'd need to take away their racials.
I was really skeptical about this race at first but its honestly dope. Soar is the coolest and most unique racial we've ever had
naaaaahhh its up there with the Vulperan Campsite xD

If you can use it in combat you can literally use it as an Emergency Escape button.

Shoutout to Thomas Miller in background at beginning selling bread. True G.
WoW! I wanted the demon hunters to fly in their demonic form. And it looks like this! Looks very cool! I hope DH will be the same in the future. )

Mage should be able to fly, so does lock, priest, hunter, shaman, monk, warrior, everyone
REALLY hoping they make it so you can be other races for the visage form, I would LOVE to be a gnome in my visage form that just sounds legit

I’ll be honest I would prefer they didn’t do that. I hate how the visage form looks but now I’m going to have to use it.
They should add the option to auto change forms, BACK to visage form when out of combat.
I wish there was a different aura for Dracthyr form so I wouldn't feel pressure to swap between pulls in M+. I also wanna be a Dragon like 99% of the time, which I unfortunately won't be able to because of mounts. Hopefully they can make everyone happy

They have the most Op racial movement ability. Two of them in fact.
@@sardonicspartan9343 they can only be a evoker witch is a hero class so it makes sense they would be overpowered
yeah I don't understand why they didn't just get a normal flight version like druids for example. Makes no sense for a race with wings.
Maybe they will eventually.
With each passing day, i am more and more sure that i will play a Dracthyr Evoker.
Hi mate, thanks for the great video and sharing the info.
I just wanted to correct one thing. Its not a double jump like dh.
Drakthyr can jump + glide
Dh can jump + jump + glide
So dh have 1 extra jump
I hope they can transform into full dake for flying with dragonriding later down the line.
they could implement as a lateish game reward. it would feel pretty satisfying to go into a full drake rather than being limited to a twink drake
@@shesh2265 Yeah but sadly it’s Blizzard so it’s definitely not going to happen. 😔
Thanks for the great content! Greatly enjoyed this video and can't wait for Dragon Flight.

Thank u for the video! i finally found answers i was looking for about human form haha. Keep going great video
I love the Dracthyr so much, I'm torn on whether I want to main my Worgen Hunter or play one of these. Looking forward to your stream on Monday!
the fact that we can't use our dragon form as a flying mount, like druids have flight form, really bothers me. Especially after looking at Soar, they have the animation down. IMO Dracthyr should be able to fly without mounts
can you use soar in areas like Argus where flying mounts aren't allowed but ground mounts are?
wow this looks sooo cool, I can already see how this race will be my new leveling main until flying is unlocked
This was more than I thought, nice stuff :D
Was hoping their flying would be like a racial mount sort of ability
the fact that it isn't is pretty dogshit imo, but it's the level of dumb decision making i've come to expect from blizzard at this point.
@@Nick-co9pf Well Demon Hunters didnt get it as a flying mount so I get it I guess but don't Druid get to mount themselves as a flying mount?

What about the racial mount ? Dracthyr flight test on the not collection mounts?
do you know what kind of cc type the tail swipe is? stun? incap? just a knockdown?
1:43 Here's a joke I have pvp, you take the flag of the Alliance, well, or Hordes and fly away, or so you change the point on the map using the example of the Arathi Basin, you take stables, you take sawmills, it will also be tin, think for yourself
Its a good idea,but you forgot the damn rogue that is going to stomp your ass once you try to cap xD
To be fair, seeing as we can't fly in instances, I bet we can't in PVP.
If that IS the case, then why is the CD so damn high?
5:48 F in chat for druid gathering alts
I think soars cool down should be reduced to 0 seconds because it’s almost like the worgen racial running wild, but in this case flying wild.
Pretty disappointed that they don’t get a version of running wild for normal flying. Dragon Riding flight is cool, but a 5min CD is a bit too long. I’d say 2-3mins max. It would be cool if you could use a glyph to turn it into normal flying.
Hi Mr Gm, is there any emotes or joke the dracthy cant say on alpha ? thanks
I think they should have it on a 2:30 minute cooldown. 5 minutes seem a bit weird ngl xD
Sense “soar” is on a 5 min CD and isn’t like “running wild” or a flight form, do they have a racial mount?
That red Dracthyr looks like a form you can power up to in the old arcade game called Magician Lord
Keep bringing the videos, my man!!! I’m loving all of it!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kinda sad that Soar has a 5 minute cooldown
They look really cool! I love that soar ability!
I hope they’ll eventually be allowed to be other classes cuz the race is so cool
I can imagine that happening. It makes sense at first they’d only have one class as they’re newly awakened. But as they mingle with the other races, they’ll no doubt be taught in the ways of mages etc.
@Senshi KEKW "imagine druids getting another race" E TU
@Senshi I mean it wouldn’t be hard, the step from dinosaur to dragon isn’t that far of a leap

I agree, they need to define actual racials if they plan to open up its class options.
I want to know if Soar can be used in outdoor areas that lack flying mounts like Eversong/Silvermoon
Id be curious too, I doubt it simply because then you could see how actually unfinished and pasted together Silvermoon is tho.
Can you use soar in places you don't have pathfinder unlocks for? And also Silvermoon?
Bit disapointed that they cant fly on their own fully and freely like a flying mount but other than that i am excited for dragon flying

@@nono7105 yeah, it doesn’t make sense that a worgen can ride mounts, they should require human form

I preordered but still can’t see the races on my account lol
Can the flight ability be used in combat?
If they didn't have the talents that changes Tail Swipe & Wing Buffet individually, i would have expected those two to share cooldown in the future.
Will dracthyr have normal fly like druids?
Please yes 🙌
can they farm by flying mining and herbalism?
I'm so excited!! omggggggg I can't wait to play an evoker healer.
About Soar, what about PvP? I would guess it wouldn’t be usable in BG’s either.
As with others races they should have specially abilities and powers only for themselves culture also add things that would work well for dracthyr people they are very much creative half dragons
so can it attack while in human type?
Do they have voice lines yet?
Will dracthyr have normal flight? I think I saw it dracthyr flight mode
You know... I've mained my original Druid throughout every single expansion, but Dracthyr look so dope I honestly may just main one for Dragonflight.
kinda bummed the dragon class doesnt get a traditonal tank,rogue set up too would love to play as a plate wearing dragon
Soar is going to make traveling so much faster… especially before mounts or flying. Even then it will be OP 😂😎🤘🏼
It’s a hero class that starts at lvl 58 so it will already have mounts and regular flying the moment you make the character

I Do want beefed up and more muscular models for Male Dracthyr , we already have fat and ugly humans , so why dont we get big buffed dragons ?
because wow team is woke and love furry skinny things, its why :P

Not a HUGE fan of the mount stuff, but eh, it's definitely not a deal breaker or anything lol.
Otherwise, mega hyped for this.
thei shud add Soarring to the Demon Hunter's 2 sins dubel jump it is more or less the same abilety thei both have
Female dractyr are kinda weird, but overall, I like new race. Definitely feeds into the dream of being a semi dragon.
They need to fix the humanoid form ... the Polygone PS1 Skull/Face are really bad
I really hope they make the Visage form taller :\
The Soar CD is a bit overkill
To bad you can't fly in your dragon form, that be pretty cool.
They turned out pretty cool 😎
