If talents do come out, I'm expecting Warrior + Mage. How about you guys?

Here’s the thing:

1). A streamer said that a blue post for Alpha, similar to Shadowlands, is not guaranteed.

2). This is the first expansion since the new “Blizzard” is taking over in terms of them “listening” and “responding to feedback” more. So, it would sound alarms if we got an Ion post like that. Would be a great sign.

Can't describe my excitement, the selection is superb!!!

[Kiivar86]

Some body types too, while I'm sure there's many who won't be happy at least its options.

Also honestly I like them a lot more with this glimpse.

[Khaza-R]

Interesting stuff.

The armors definitely seems inspired the by OG dragonspawn models.

[Gurahk]

Is that actual armor, or is it just a customization option?

[Xilurm]

Option 4 it is then.

[Vasoka]

...are those male? Or will male / female look the same in dragon form? Worgen do not look the same in worgen form so idk. Or is it because they're meant to be dragonkin so appearance will be the same across the two genders?

I'd imagine actual armor.

They're supposed to be able to display some armor when in their dracthyr form.

edit: Correction, seems armor can be changed while in the barbershop so I guess not.

Yes, Alpha Thursday. However, some people are hoping for a blue post similar to Shadowlands announcing Alpha days before.

Gender will only matter in the "mortal" form I assume.

Nice. Though it still doesn't say much about the Dracthyr form when it comes to armor, specifically whether it's leaning more towards Worgen or Druid forms in terms of armor availability. Not sure whether I would be able to stomach the class unless it's able to display the armor I gather for it.

Also how in-depth the Dragonriding mechanic will be for them. Would be massively disappointed if it really is just the initial version with no parallel increases with the actual Dragonriding dragon. Would just be silly if you have to be a dragon riding another dragon to be able to fly properly.

And of course, how exactly will the class play. Would love another class to play beyond hunter.

They look amazing!!! I'm completely in awe! I'm so happy!

I really love that there's multiple armor options, with some being more typical of a caster, and others of melee combatants,
