Dragonsworn: Fan Made Class Concept

Dragonsworn Fan Class Concept

Possible Lore: With the Aspects removal of their immortality they seem to feel as if they have little or no purpose in the world. When a new threat emerges the Aspects still believe it is the mortals duties to protect the world. However they now bestow powers among those chosen of the mortal races. These chosen are known as the Dragonsworn. Even though each Dragonsworn may represent the interest of the Horde or Alliance as individuals prior to becoming Dragonsworn, they share a common goal and unite against the new threat to defeat it. Much like Deathwing and the Lich King. Both Horde and Alliance have common enemies, and that’s why the Dragonsworn exist. To help the mortal races defeat common enemies, which may threaten them or the world.

Class Specific Summonable Armoured Drake (Just a basic idea or concept of what it could look like)

I always love these, looks interesting.

You've given this a lot of thought. The images are amazing, and I like most of your ideas even those in your signature. In fact, I have thought a lot about them myself.

And so has Blizzard, no doubt. Unfortunately though, they need reasons as to why this class, or any class and race, is the best one to put in.
And I don't see this happening. Yes, I am quite certain that if we got an expansion focused on Azeroth's problems, or the Emerald Dream, or any combo thereof, it would certainly be a likely choice. I was hoping for these in Cataclysm, actually.

Unfortunately Cataclysm has made the Blizzard fanbase completely sick of dragons, overall. Mild exaggeration, but you get my point. Dragons are cool, but they are not going to build the next expansion around it. Neither is it likely to be set in Azeroth. Cataclysm has also shown that an expansion needs a central continent, or people will feel things are too divided.

I'd love to go Dragonsworn myself. In fact, one of my roleplay characters is a former one, but in the end, Blizzard will go with what will be most popular. And right now, I fear this isn't it. Maybe if there's an expansion after the following one.

(This is just my opinion on things btw. Feel free to disagree!)

This looks pretty good. I'd definitely give it a try if they put this in the game. Good idea!

[Throren]

Aw, no blue dragon love?

[Kaleredar]

Sounds like a cool idea. It'd be nice if, for their "burst CD," they could temporarily transform into a drakkonid from their respective flight.


Though the name dragonsworn might need a change up. A bit too similar. I can already see it now.

"You should have acted.
They're already here.
Wrathion told of their return.
Their defeat... was merely delay;
Til the time after Pandaria opened,
When the sons of Azeroth would spill their own blood.
But no one wanted to believe.
Believe they would come back.
And when the truth finally dawns:
It dawns in fel fire!
But,
There are ones they fear.
In their tongue, they are...

DRAGONSWORN!

FUS RO DAH!"




Maybe just... drakon adept, or something like that.

I like the idea of it for the most part. Some things would need tweeking, however I really don't think WoW will ever have a new class. It's hard enough to balance with 11 classes especially with only 10 spots in a raid. Maybe if they increased raiding to 15m but idk. Also I'm pretty sure I heard a very similar idea a few years ago on these very forums -.-

[bohapjut]

No blue dragonflight?
