Blizzard Entertainment dropped a ton of new info about World of Warcraft: The War Within<\/em> on April 18. During a group interview featuring content creator Dan \u201cMrGM\u201d Carter and game director Ion Hazzikostas, it was confirmed that the Dracthyr class pool might be expanded in The War Within<\/em>.<\/p>
Even though MrGM didn\u2019t share any footage from the group interview, he posted on his X page<\/a> that there are plans to let Dracthyr be classes other than Evokers. The game director didn\u2019t provide a timeframe, but the post suggests it should happen \u201cnear the start of the expansion.\u201d<\/p>
Hazzikostas also said you’ll be able to use your Visage form during combat while playing one of the newly available classes. The post doesn\u2019t mention using Visage in combat while playing as an Evoker<\/a>, and even though I thought this was just an oversight at first, it might actually be intentional. Evokers have unique animations that require wings and spitting magic, so the odds of you being able to use your non-draconic form during combat are quite slim.\u00a0<\/p>
Dracthyr were introduced with Dragonflight<\/em><\/a> <\/em>prepatch on Nov. 15, 2022 and were limited only to the Evoker class. Initially, the class only had two specs, Devastation (DPS) and Preservation (healer), but Patch 10.1.5 released Augmentation<\/a> as the first support spec in WoW<\/em>. Dracthyr can assume two forms\u2014Visage and draconic. While the draconic form turns your Dracthyr into a dragon-like creature, Visage form allows them to assume a human-like shape, but only outside combat.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
