Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Nightshade711]

Evoker spells/talents/customisation + Transmog :P

Same here.
I want to see the tier sets in-game especially.

[therumblings]

I am a hardcore caster/healer player too so this is beyond exciting considering I've been playing this game for 17+ years now

I know some people were complaining that the Evoker only had one dps spec essentially filling the gap SV made when becoming melee which effectively kept the same number of ranged specs, but the fact the spec is brand new and ranged is a huge first for WoW and it is pretty exciting and also surprising it took them 18 years lol.

Same here. It's been so long since a new class was added and unlike the Demon Hunter we barely know anything about the Evoker gameplay before Alpha.

I would imagine they’re going to draw abilities from Alexstraza, Chromie, and Deathwing HotS, and dragon boss abilities like Onyxia from WoW.

I'm a healing officer currently, so hoping for some powerful raid CDs (like giving evoker a rally-type ability ala the health increase from all dragon battle pets)! Just can't wait to get my hands on them!

We have another ENCRYPTED build

[Grimmy17]

New WoW Dev build!
10.0.0.44475 > 10.0.0.44592

Is having multiple builds in such a quick sucession a norm for alpha cycles? Just curious

It's the norm when they're finalizing a build to push to the public, won't be surprised if this is the build number we see pop up early next week in a public manner.

[therumblings]

Looks like any hope of datamining tonight died with that build, next week will be a fun week for sure.

Why would that build defeat any hope for mining?
Not ment as a jab

[Catastrophy349]

Yeah buddy!!

Well, I don't think they would push multiple builds in a single day, I assumed if they were pushing one that was unencrypted it would have been that one.

Yeah I agree. It's a shame I was hoping for some weekend perusal of icons, transmog and the such. But alas next week shall be fun!

[Catastrophy349]

I’m so thankful that I’m on summer vacation during all of this. Going to hop on to Towelliee’s stream next week, every day, and just enjoy the ride.

These are two real possibilities;

there was a mantid in the evoker showcase video

It was a praying mantis. Whether or not it is related to the Mantid from Pandaria remains to be seen.

Another PI effect would make me sad to have (current priest main) - but the bronze seems cool

I was thinking more like this https://www.wowhead.com/pet-ability=...cient-blessing

From the proto drake battle pets!

Well there are the HotS variants, which also have a chance of being implemented;

https://www.heroesfire.com/hots/wiki...ing-of-the-red

I would imagine the Alexstraza ability would be made green for the Preservation spec, or be a class-wide CD with an enhancement talent in the healing tree.

[klaps_05]

So now they are moving mandatory talents into the actual spec trees? Antropic poison and the CDR outlaw talent. They are trying to make the class tree have 3 avenues per spec, but you are forced a lot of the random spells and points which were baseline just to take the respective talents.

Ah yeah these are way better, the cromie one reads similar to current Fae Guardians but the Alex one is perfect for a healing CD (to compete with disc/paladin)!

Also I'm looking forward to seeing how they implement the black dragonflight into the trees (probably defensives) since they said it was so important to incorporate all 5 flights.
