A Preview of the New Dracthyr Race in Dragonflight

Recommended Posts

Find out more about the new dragonkin race called the Dracthyr coming in World of Warcraft's upcoming Dragonflight expansion.

The Dracthyr will have two forms. A mortal form and a dragon form both being customizable. It will function like Pandaren and you'll eventually have to pick your faction, well, unless you're Doubleagent.

Dracthyr Mortal Form Customization Options

The Dragonflight press kit contains some screenshots of Dracthyr visages.

The dragon form can also be customized to your liking. Some of the options are outlined below.

The new race will have a starting area on the Dragon Isles and the new Evoker class is also limited to Dracthyr.

Finally, here are some animations that we found in the press kit.

Will all other playable races be able to be Evoker? Will they also receive Draconic customization? Not to mention, will the other races get new looks (DI Dawrf, KT, MH Orc etc...)

Probably the worst thing that has been added to World of Warcraft. This is literally Final Fantasy, it has nothing to do with the Warcraft universe, starting with the actual design. Disgusting how the work of creators and veterans is ruined.

From what I've read, no. The Evoker is exclusive to the Dracthyr as it is the only class they can be.

Only Dracthyr can be Evoker and all Dracthyr must be Evoker.

It's exclusive to Dracthyr. They are a race-class combo, only class they can be and also no one else can be Evoker.

I would prefer if the Dragonflight leaks were a joke, but alas, the game now looks like another generic chinese grind mmo made with only the retention metric in mind and no soul.

They've made no mention of a grindy power system like there's been in every expansion since Legion. I'm still skeptical myself on that but until there is irrefutable evidence that such a system exists in Dragonflight I see nothing horrendously wrong with what we were shown outside of a few minor complaints that'll likely stop bothering me as time goes on. All they've mentioned is exploration to get new cosmetics for your dragon mount.

Honestly, I'd prefer something like Viera.

Is it shameful coombait? Yes, but is at least pretty to look at

I think many people have issue with how they look (I do at least, if their humanoid form are only a reskinned blood elves). Some wanted a bulky Drakonid race, but these look very slim. And they are a completely new race of dragons, one we haven't seen before.

Pretty animations.........seems more to be a range type class than melee with options being dps or healing.  So more than likely either going to be another leather wearer or clothie.  I would be really surprised if it's going to be a mail wearer.

They confirmed it's going to be wearing mail armor. Two specs: ranged damage and healing.

I get the mail choice since only 2 classes uses that but man... I was so happy for another healer and now you ruined all my hype because mail armor is always the worst looking. Why ;_;

I actually really like the new dragon race. It's fresh and new and has a special class to go along with it. The ONLY thing that makes me sad is that they can ONLY be evokers. I would've loved to see what dragon druids could've looked like as well as a bronze dragon priest and a blue dragon mage. I've had so many hopes for dragons for so long and it's a shame we will only ever see them wearing mail. I hope they change their mind and allow this beautiful race to take part in all of the other classes in the future. It would be spectacular! But we'll just have to see how the new race feels in the game. Who knows, perhaps it's best they only get to be evokers.

Really? First off the dragons in ff are ugly, and not comparable to the variety that wow has. Also, it fits lore wise quite well. Dragons have been part of the story and lore since early wow. It's obviouse you 1: dont play the game, and 2: are way too Ff bias to comment on this. If u have nothing good to say and don't know what your talking about it would be best for you to keep your thoughts and opinions to yourself. Its been a while since wow got a hero class and I'm actually excited about 1 new race and new class in one expansion. I hope the race model options aren't only male belfs and female humans though.

I actually quite like some of the aspects of the humanoid forms. The heads are not bad either. I'm assuming as there's only one of the transformed model released, that they are not defining the female ones with boobs, which is a refreshing change.

But the body the heads are stuck on is underwhelming. It's clearly based on the female worgen skeleton with the big backside and long legs. This is OK for a creature that's supposed to be mammalian and runs on land, but looks silly to have this leggy bottom-heavy creature flying with wings attached to its narrow shoulders. The biomechanics don't work. People are rightly tired of nearly all the male characters having very bulky upper bodies, but for a creature with wings it actually makes sense to have the centre of mass and a lot of musculature in this area.

Not when I'm at work, and on my lunch break.  Needless to say than to assume everyone has a free 2-4+ hrs to watch a live stream while in the midst of a 10 hr work day friend.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
