wow Interesting Discarded Dracthyr Racial Ability - Flight

[Stan 5,239]

The spell database contains an interesting discarded Dracthyr racial ability that would allow them to fly without a mount.

[TEMP] Flight is an interesting entry that remains in the databases even though the Dracthyr have ended up with entirely different racials.

It suggests that at some point during testing, the WoW team played with the idea of letting Dracthyr fly without a flying mount, which makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, the idea was probably scrapped for an unknown reason, maybe in favor of Soar.

[TEMP] Flight - Spread your wings, increasing movement speed by 150% and allowing you to fly. Cannot use in combat (Instant, 1 sec cooldown)

Would have loved to see this in game, we already have a "mount" racial in the worgen's running wild so why can't there be a flying mount for the drakthyr and even demon hunters?

I do not intend to play dracthyr but that should be a must for this race, at the end they are dragons.

They're more like weirdo scaly furry things but I get what you're trying to say.

The dracthyr npc's can fly (not just soar) so why can't our dracthyr character? Hope they implement it.

As a main druid player for 17+ years now, I support adding more classes with instant flight.
This makes sense for them to have, why hold it back?

even if it wasnt instant but like what worgen do and we get a little animation of them stretching there wings it would just be really cool to fly with there wings.

back when sl was anounced and i saw the bastion for the first time i thought how cool it would be if we could get wings from them as amount

I been wanting this ever since they revealed that Soar had cooldown. But hearing that it was actually gonna be a thing and that it was scrapped makes me sadder than you can imagine

Honestly, I'd love to see soar changed from a CD to a druid esk flight ability. I'm cool with and enjoy the mechanics of their version of flight, but make it more like maxed out dragon riding and usable in all worlds where flying is enabled.

I find it silly to have wings not be able to use them to fly by default.

Ever since I first saw Soar in game I always assumed that, eventually, there would be a way to unlock a zero cooldown for it. Druids get instant flight, so why not? Dracthyr can only be evokers, so make it a talent or class ability. Done!

I respect no winged dragon that can't fly on their own accord.

I support removing instant flight from Druids.  No class should have instant flight.

Does not need to have instant cast it can work like 2 sec or something xD
