Dracthyr and animations

Community General Discussion
1

so now that there is new animations being added for the scaley boys,

Blizzard needs to re work the old running animation. It is stiff, it is janky, it looks unfinished.
Compared to other classes where the animation has nice flow to it, the dracthyr animation just snaps, it looks like the animator decided to quit half way through the animation and call it the day.

The fix would be easy by making the arms more closers to running animation and not be straight and stiff, the re-wind animation of the run needs more flow and easing to make it fit the overall feel

Warrior pose with the two swords looks awesome.

You can safely rule out DK as an option since Sylvanas and her Valkyries are no longer around to make them.

I bet you one copper coin that its not the actual pose but part of animation, like ash or stomp etc

So now every class will have double jump and glide hmm.

Words cannot convey how hyped I am. I have three Dracthyr that all lean towards new classes. One is focusing on mastering Green Essence, so druidism is a natural path to take. The second one is a big burly guy who likes to hit things hard, so I’ll jump on the opportunity to make him a warrior. And finally the third one is mostly focused on her Blue Essence, and has a great interest in mages. I hope the lizard wizards get as many classes as possible. <3

What does something as inferior as sylvanas has to do with DKs?
They don’t even need a Lich King to raise them. They have Acherus’ crew at the ready at any time…

Shaman look good!

All I’d care about IF I were to make a Dracthyr hunter is the option to stay in visage form all the time. I really dislike the draconic form and complete lack of transmog options.

As far as I recall there is plan to expand the usability of the Visage to cover combat as well. I might be wrong, mind!

I legit hope for Dracthyr Death Knight.
Just imagen Frost DK Dracthyr, instead of breath being above your head you breath it out of your mouth, and instead of Frostwyrm’s Fury, you instead breath a massive path of ice in front of you.
And lets not stop at that how about give Dracthyr DK access to the skeleton model they got, that way they can use full plate armor above it, and it would be absolutely metal to play the Frostwyrm in the form of a Dracthyr DK.

Cant wait to make a Drakthyr warrior.

Now all that’s missing is the ability to pick any playable race as your visage form.

13

Dracthyr don’t have double jump though, that’s still exclusive to DH.

14

I would disagree on female Draenei.

From behind it may look flowing. But from the side it looks like a running chicken.

still miles better than what scaley boys look

Agree to disagree.

Many people say “the animations don’t fit” but have no idea how anatomics work and in what way skeletons would actually move.

However, it can be argued that the walking/running animation of Dracthyr could be a bit faster in speed.

17

Many things could be better on all races, there is so much that has been done to be “good enough” that its quite embarassing

18

On that, I agree. WoW has so much unused potential.
