Because considering we all could become Monks and learn Kung fu fighting in Pandaria and adapt Chi magic… It makes no sense our current races and casters couldn’t learn evocation magic…
Unless Blizzard adds some lore to the Dracthyr. Not only explaining why only they can preform evocation. But also why a Dracthyr can’t be anything else except one…
Please don’t give the Dracthyr the Vulpera treatment… Where they are left to head cannon the logic and lore to why they are and aren’t whatever would make sense…? Sorry.
in sum, dracthyr are nefarian experiments so only the ones he choose and survive became dracthyr, can this be turned into more races, probably
is it worht to make so much more cosmetics for each race rather than tweeking the male belf and female models? not in my opinion, focus on what they got and tune it
the evocation part is linked dragon essence infused during the experiments, so only them can use the power or the flights
They just chose a bad lore settup for the whole class/race.
It would make so much more sense if all old races could learn to be an Evoker thanks to the power that has now been restored to the dragons etc. Similar to Death Knights (with their undead traits) it would make sense if those choosing the path of an Evoker would gain some dragon-like traits, as the Drac’thyr now have.
Drac’thyr didn’t need to be a race locked to two randomly picked models with a single class; all old races should’ve profited from this new class.
I just had a brief look on Wowpedia and sure enough what you say is right there but…
They are an ancient race as stated. …Kind of a retcon though their pulling tho. As of Chromagus and every attempt Neltharion did up until the present failed to make a combined dragonflight and them all dying as drakes…
Just hope blizzard adresses this. And alright… Evocation has always been a school of magic in wow lore… Blizzard should have called this class something unique to Neltharion’s new brood of Dracthyr still. To avoid the confusion… Still! Not to hung up about that!
But why they can’t be Warriors or any other class though? …If they are an ancient race than surely they could of easily been.
Well, considering how they’ve struggled to get content produced in the last few expansions (Legion aside) if this reduced the workload somewhat and let’s them produce more and better content in other areas then I’m fine with it.
They can alway add more races to Evoker or classes to Drac Thyr in the future. They recently allowed more races to be Death Knights, so this restrictions don’t have to be forever.
Because the other races aren’t fueled by Aspect energy?
Sounds pretty much like lore justification to me. Maybe not lore justification you like or respect, but it’s there.
I’d also like for them being able to be some other classes. That seems like it might possibly change down the line (though they did say what’s basically racial abilities are tied into the class) as we’ve gotten other new race/class combos over the years.
What?! Your hitting all my AP ptsd marks here man…
My issue with this boils down to basically… Making an entire race in game to make sense of a new class… When everything is in place to make it the otherway around…
They explain that the Evokers’ magic is a result of them using their inherent dragon magic. Other races aren’t dragons. They don’t have natural dragon magic.
I think the singular class reason is for some convenience on their part, like gauging player activity based on race and/or class. I don’t tinfoil hat it all that much though as I can accept it; if I want to play a warrior (hah, yeah right!) or mage there’s plenty of other cool races I can choose from.
I think the class is made to make sense for the race, not the other way around.
Yeah… hence why i personally would have wished they called it something else than Evoker. Since that is a universal school of magic to all Spellcasters. (Or at least it used to be)
Considering how much hate we vulps got for how many played us back then… You know I wouldn’t deny this either.
Yes if no other race could play Evoker id agree. Its just if their an ancient race… As Blizzard is saying now ( Apprently Neltharion’s experiments didn’t all die recently after all)
And they have been around for tens of thousands of years. At least they should be able to be a mage… Or Warrior at the very least!
It’s not a great name. Honestly they could’ve made up some word that either sounds draconic or at least implies it’s a draconic caster. But when just choosing some word for an arcane type magic user the list that would make sense to people isn’t very long. Mage is taken, wizard makes you think of pointy hats, enchanter’s sort of a profession… So yeah, while not a great choice (in our opinion at least) it’s one that can make sense.
It’s the two core classes that makes the most sense, yes, and also ones I think they should have. Maybe one day though, maybe one day.
They appeared to be casting a mix of all the Dragonflights. Life fire and blabla…
But Evoker it is! not going to make it some hill to die upon over its naming ><
For sure it will be. But this Dragon magic just from the little preview we have seen alone. Is another type of magic all together unlike what we players can cast today.
It will be the Dracthyr teaching us ‘‘Evocation’’ rather than the other way around.
So I know I said I was over the naming convetion… But i lied xD But whatever…
Their magic is new and unseen to us of old. And it -should- have a new name!
But alright alright… im not gonna harp or die any further on this hill.
Unless your a rp’er or Argent dawn player. Most people propably wont notice this detail anyway.
Well, the thing is Evocation is and never was a school of magic in the Warcraft universe. You can look around Dalaran and you will find lore books on all of the cannon magic schools.
Some people count it as its own school because of the DnD origins but that’s pretty much just fan fiction.
