Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

Yes that's how these new talents work. You only learn some buffs and non-combat spells like teleports outside of talents.

The talents that you learn baseline were supposed to be ones that genuinely have no practical useage inside instanced content, and therefore would never be picked.

Hunters got eagle vision baseline, but not camouflage for instance, likely because noone ever uses eagle vision, but loads would want to use camouflage in M+.

Camouflage has combat purpose, Eagle Eye doesn't. That's why Eagle Eye is baseline and Camouflage is not.

Hope they, Dracthyr, get to do Dragonwrath.
And monks now too.

The stuff is for casters only - so I guess we will get it for Dracthyr, but not for Monks (who got Valanyr and Thunderfury already).

Yeah basically. Not sure whether all classes really have any equivalent abilities. For sure cannot remember what Warrior would have.

Dragonwrath is DPS caster weapon.

Monks do not have a DPS caster spec.

Any word on the invite wave?

God damnit they are bringing back Bonedust Brew, such a lazy and unthematic spell. The only people who like it are meta chasers, not people who like monk. If these covenant abilities got a reskin for the talent tree, maybe it'd be okay but otherwise yikes.

The only covenant ability that is somewhat interesting would have been Fallen Order, obviously re-skinned to just be alive Monks. All the other ones are so boring.

Single-Minded Fury is back?? Wow did not expect that!

I thought it was already back... ?

Ah lol yea. Just have never seen anyone play it.

Spirit monks also work, since chi = spirit. Just would need a reskin to take away the red Revendreth look.
Reminding me of that spell has made me want to level my monk. Sad I missed the exp buff for it though.

Does Crusade turn Avenging Wrath into a 3 min CD now? No Paladin in their right mind would ever use Crusade over Avenging Might if this is true.

[Xilurm]

Yay, colored map "districts" are back!!! Thought I'd never see the day!

These are most likely Dragon Aspect colored. Not sure why there's two shades of blue there tho.

Purple-blue is just the general section of the city where all the player stuff is, pretty sure. It's also where a lot of Wrathion's Blacktalon forces hang out.

So... anyone catch these under string changes yet?

Why would they separate Drac'thyr and Evoker if they're the same thing? Why would one get the Evoker popup as opposed to the Drac'thyr popup and vice versa? Am I looking too far into this or am I being an idiot?

Because Blizzard has been coding games long enough to build in some level of future proofing?
Really not hard. They are one and same today, but they may not be in the future. And you don't want to have to dig around years old code to fix issues that arise if they are no longer one and the same.

One for when you click Dracthyr in character creation but already have one, one for when you click Evoker but already have one.

Even more hilarious is that before Shadowlands it was kinda certain that she would come back. She is the Aspect of the Emerald Dream, and powerful beings tied to the Dream have been reborn before.

Then Shadowlands happen, and she is tied to Ardenweald, never to be reborn into the mortal plane again, making the whole Ardenweald questline really impactful.

And then they 180 that decision in the expansion after it and rebirth her anyways.

Christ in Hell, Blizz doesn't write stories, they coinflip stories.

Comics have been soing the same thing for 70 years.

I dont see what the big deal is. The big deal is she died. Not that she is dead.

Not sure if you ever died but its really traumatic, and not just for you. No one is going to be ok with dying juat because it doesnt stick. It hurts, its violating it takes power from you and it stresses out your loved ones. And thata still only if u know you CAN come back
