Polearms for Dracthyr Evokers!!

[Lochton]

Blizzard, you are making a huge mistake if you won't let Dracthyr Evokers use Polearms - dragons and lances got together like bread 'n butter.

Dragons and lances don't go together? I mean, a lance is meant to make it easier to kill a dragon. I guess you are mixing up FF with WoW, where Dragonknight (Dragoon) and lances are bound together by choice of job.

Dracthyr's options are great as they are. Just like shamans, but with swords and no shields (If I recall).

Main stats change on gear, but not for weapons. Feel free to check in-game if you doubt me.

He's right @DragonGuard

The main stats on the weapon, if you cannot use said stat, just grays out. So, if you pick up a strength sword, and you use int as main, then you just have a sword with secondary stats and stamina.

93. There are currently 93 registered users online.

If you genuinely think there are 93 registered users, and THOUSANDS of people just chilling out reading the forums but not participating, thats on you

That's...... exactly the case. At time of writing, 119 registered and 2515 guests viewing. That is more than two thousand people, making it be, quite literally, "THOUSANDS of people just chilling out reading the forums but not participating"......

Like i said, if you (or they) want to believe that is accurate, go for it.

Look at the concept of Dragoons, especially fantasy Dragoons and you will get why dragons and lances are coupled together.
There is even a DnD setting called Dragonlance, which is by itself older than many naysayers here in these forums.

All in all dragons and lances just work, if you are a dragon character you gotta have a lance too. that is just unwritten fantasy laws.

I agree completely that they work well together and its a pain that shaman cant use 2h weapons since they are probably the games closest thing to dragonsworn (with dragons now being elemental beings and them being elementalists) so having shamans use polarms would be an okay compromise but shamans are elementalists and lack any draconic gameplay. No wings or horns, no jumps or flying or anything.

This class using them would be as worthless as claws on a worgen fire mage.

Its in wow too, look at every draconid, they all use polearms. Polearms and dragons are a common combination in wow just as much as in other games.

Yes, the Drakonid does, the Aspects don't, nor do the Wyrms, Dragons, Drakes, Drakeadon, Whelps, but some Dragonspawn does, but not many, and now the Drac'thyr don't.

[Teriz]

They're ranged, primarily using dragon breath attacks. A polearm would be pointless.

[huth]

You do know this isnt a Blizzard site, right? I mean its fine to want polearms, but this is like asking for sushi at mcdonalds.

That'd be a box of McSushis, sir.

[ZazuuPriest]

What are you talking about? If you use personal loot and you can use polearms, then the polearm stats can change to intellect if your spec has intellect for its main stat. Loot stats change according to your specialization. It's not the other way around.

The prerequisites are already in the game.

The only thing left is to add polearms to Evokers so they can get it.

that's not even how main stats work in this game anymore. gone are the days when weapons had multiple main stat that would change based off spec. when was the last time you played?

Really? I don't think there ever was time when weapons changed with spec.

dragons and lances got together

like skewers and chicken...

People should really stop projecting their headfantasies onto someone else's creation.

Honestly, MOST of the time fans say "why wont blizzard listen to the fans!" it is followed by a PERFECT example of why blizzard dont "listen to the fans".

it's like whenever someone says "I'm not racist/homophobic/whatever, but..." they almost always follow up with something that is whatever they are "not"

its ok to be wrong about stuff, happens to the worst of us

They are a magic class that doesnt physically use weapons so you are not getting a dragon lancer, you have a dragon spell caster and thats it.

Out of curiosity, when was that?

[Berkilak]

They're ranged, primarily using dragon breath attacks. A polearm would be pointless.

A mace or axe or sword is just as pointless.

Any weapon can serve as a spellcasting focus. And polearms would look great with Drac'thyr.

Do tell.when did weapons change? Enlighten us!

A big stick on the back of a dragon flying around would be terrible. Please no. Keep the weapons invisible on Dracthyr please.

I don't think anyone is asking for that. It looks like all weapons are going to be invisible in the draconic form. That doesn't mean that they're not going to be equipping weapons.

Well, though I'm not supporting the polearm request, they can use staves after all as well.

I could see them making the 1h/OH visible without a problem.

True, but I don't see the point of that for "regular" casters, let alone the Evokers.
