    Tbf, maybe 9.2.5 is meant to have its own hooks and spoilers to keep people invested until 10.0 comes out.

    I assume due to the new talent system black will be a part of the base class tree.

    Making something look good should always take top priority over any "realism."

    Also WoW has never had a genderless race before for what I feel is a good reason, it really just isn't appealing. It essentially halves any sort of features or customization.

    Based off of what they've shown it feels very difficult to make a distinctive character, let alone one that feels personal at all. Only being able to be elf or human in the mortal form is also pretty terrible. If they were going to make the dragonform have a uniform appearance, I would expect the plethora of features to be put into their other appearance. But right now its just losses and no gains.

    Such limitations should not exist.

    And to be completely clear, I have zero issues with androgyny or non-binary folk, and I also admit that WoW has had a bad problem with sexual-dimorphism, that being said this is a leap in the wrong direction and completely ruins the race for me.
    Not appealing for you, for others it might

    All of this screams that its a shapeshift and you have to be in it non-stop during combat.

    Which is pretty cool, a shapeshifting Dragonrace.

    Could've been cooler but its not as bad as expected.
    I think the lore would be the most important factor. If the lore is cool, I'll do them. If they're glorified Drakonids, probably not.

    But this are not dragons, they are an artificially created offshoot. Normal dragon rules need not apply.
    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    First off, props to Scaleface, his leaks were right on the money, though I’m happy he got some parts wrong.

    Anyway, I’m happy that the Dragon class is also a race. I’m a little disappointed that they didn’t make the healing spec red-based. I am happy that they’re using some concepts and abilities from HotS, but I’m disappointed that they didn’t use standard dragon forms, but I suppose due to size issues the more humanoid models make sense.

    I’m VERY disappointed that there’s no third spec. There’s really no excuse for a two spec class when there’s five dragon flights.

    I hope the dragon form can fly. Im not sure they revealed that. Also the Dragon Isles look great. So mixed emotions right now. Kind of sucks when you feel like your idea is better than what Blizzard ultimately came up with.

    Sorry to those who wanted a Drakonoid race.

    Evoker was being touted as an arcane mage clone, not as class that merges the Five Dragon flights into two specs. Also, the name of it is a Dracthyr Evoker, which pretty much means Dragon Evoker. So it still has that hero class “D__” thing going on. You push Dragon Evoker, I believe it. You push a mage clone called Evoker, I call BS.

    Its pretty spot on what I find really stupid about the class/race.

    I dont want to be a scrawny little lizard. I want to be bulkier. Essentially you're a female dreadlord with that rig and its horrible.

    You literally become less buff than a Blood/Void Elf. Caster or not that is hella lacking.

    This model here looks a bit better. Maybe it's that derpy standing position that makes them look really awkward.

    Why turn into a humanoid at all then? The entire point of a dragon visage is personal choice.

    The expansion looks amazing. New class is perfect.

    But... no fucking pre order ? Really blizzard ?

    That's the only big let down.

    I’m amused that this is the only thing I called successfully. The idea that they were a Draconic Evoker as opposed to a random mage.

    So they can get out having to make the dragon model armor compatible.

    Where did you get that? Scaleface said it shared a name with a mage spell and, I believe, that it was a magic user.

    At least we can put the "All classes have to be from WC3" to bed.

    "“There’s a mix of high mobility and casting spells, plus these new Empowered spells, is something that’s very specific for Evoker right now,” said Holinka. “That’s an ability that you press down the key, you hold it down, the longer you hold it down, something different happens. So whether you hit one target, two targets, three targets depends on how much you’re willing to commit to that particular spell.”"

    Oh boy. Ranged DH.

    PvP players are gonna hate it already.

    Have to agree. No idea why they wouldnt let us pre-order as well seeing as the rewards are seemingly in the game already.
    I can only assume they have to give a rough estimate on when they expect to be able to ship the expansion, and they don't want to commit to any date, even if it's just a year.
    The world revamp dream will never die!
