I’m sure that from a lore standpoint that not all Dracthyr are Evokers… I’m sure I read this somewhere.
Dracthyr’s are mostly highly trainer warriors with some of them specialising in healing (the green & bronze Dracthyr that you rescue in the starting zone). Mostly though, they appear to be warriors that can fly and breath fire.
I’m sure that only a few Dracthyr show proficiency in using magic from all of the dragonflights - such as the green’s healing magic, the bronze’s time magic, the black’s earthen magic, the red’s fire magic and the blue’s arcane magic. You can see elements of each dragonflight in their abilities.
For example, literally any race could be a warrior because they have hands and can wield a weapon. It makes sense that Dracthyr could be mages because they have blue-dragon abilities, which is essentially arcane, which mages tap into. It’s not a stretch of the imagination to see Dracthyr being other classes too.
We all saw the many mistakes Deathwing made with his later experiments, so there’s plenty of logic behind the idea that some Dracthyr experiments went differently and they ended up without magic. Maybe they were used as the cleaning crew and other mundane tasks, and now they have the chance to ‘be someone’.
Oh definitely. The other dracthyr make it abundantly clear that you, the player, is an evoker which are the elite, and thus are especially capable. Plenty of the other dracthyr are common soldiers, scholars or dedicated healers for instance.
They have been in stasis for a veeerrryyy lloooonnggg time and before they were put there, they were trained as Evokers. Everyone of them. I doubt at that time.
I dont think there should even be more classes for them. Be it like Demon hunter which is basically elf/demon hybrid racial class. I think Worgen should have been the same way. They should have been given a true rogue style worgen attack class where they rely on their nimble and sytealthy skills as worgen to do damage and maybe tank. They shoiuld have been built around them using their natural weapons, claws, not a sword or rifle wieldin human subrace thats only difference is basically cosmetic like in all base races.
Sure. And later on (when the race gets more classes), those ‘other’ Dracthyr will join the ‘playable’ ranks. No need to retcon anything. Right now it’s only the evokers, later on the others will follow the example of their ‘special’ brothers and sisters.
Our lore is deathwing made us infused us with the last of the aspects poweslrs theb controlled us, when his gauntlet that controlled us broke, put us in stalises for years incase we turned against him.
Thats the end
We are:
Thespecial scaley chosen people who lead the powers of the aspects.
Theres no way to recreate us. As everytging to do with how we were created is destroyed. And made by titans i.e people who cant reforge it now.
The man with the design is dead.
Canonically lore wise, yes. Suddenly allowing more of us to exist, new drakthyr would require a retcon
As us the players
Are the 10,000 year old dragons from deathwings creations.
Yoy can say it should happen, but yes canonically. Itd need retcons to make sense.
Tje only thing they csn create today is draconids and thats all the other aspects have.
I think the canon reason is quite simple
The Dracthyr have more and superior power than some “common” class
They never heard of the Light and don’t need it to heal or fight, so the Paladin and Priest classes are out. Everthing a Priest could do, they would do better thanks to the Green and Red (and maybe the Bronze) heritage… and they don’t need to balance between Light and Void, because if they would hear the Void’s call would be probably executed on sight
Shaman is out too, because the Elements are basically were the Enemy. I think when a Dracthyr sees a Shaman, he gains a little heart attack, the Primalist are back! Especially now, when the Primalist ARE back! It is a miracle, they not attacked the Shamans as soon as one called the Elements!
Mage? The Blue heritage makes them superior magic users, NPC Dracthyrs are even shocked, people need to learn magic and not some innate thing for them!
Druids… same, just with Green heritage; a druid never could be that close to the Dream as a Green Dragon.
Warrior is pretty funny to them I think… they have scales of the Blacks and claws and magic. Wearing half a ton of steel and poke things with sharp blades are probably hilarious to them.
Monk… I guess eventually they could learn it, I guess? But why would they? It is like the Hunter. When you have magic and breath weapons, you don’t really need bows and arrows, nor pet “servants”.
Fel is a HUGE no, like Void. So Warlock and DH is out
DK… eventually maybe? But I think they will pull a Worgen on them and will say, only a Demi-God level necromancer like the Lich King could raise a Dracthyr and no more Lich Kings around to do it.
Rogue is the only class the Dracthyr would need or should have, as an elite force, to have a Black Ops like branch, sneaking around, scouting, spying and assassinating the Primalists… but lets say all of them died with the Adamant Vigil; the weyrn was declared by Neltharion to serve as the eyes and ears of the black dragonflight and the legions of dracthyr. Where the black’s enemies tread, the Adamant Vigil finds them. Where the black’s armies fly, it is their guidance that directs their talons. They learn the weaknesses of their foes and amplify the strength of their allies. Only the most bold, most cunning, and most gifted commanders join the ranks of the Adamant Vigil, and it had unprecedented authority to act on its own initiatives… so kinda fits? But they are no more
Everything you say is about ‘now’. But they wouldn’t get access to new classes until later. Maybe not until the next expansion or even later. This is about the ‘less special dracthyr’, those who were created without powers (because Neltharion was definitely not infallible - his later experiments are proof of this and you’d think that he’d do BETTER on those because of his prior experience with experimenting with the Dracthyr).
Those ‘lesser’ Dracthyr would later on venture out into the world and learn about the light and all that other stuff. And some would be so interested that they’d ask to be ‘taught’.
That’s simply what I’m suggesting.
I’m not saying they should have other classes NOW. Or even soon.
Just… At some time in the future. Because it makes sense.
Besides, the devs already made comments about that they want to eventually unlock every class for every race (with the first movement towards that recently having taken place).
