Dracthyr Glide Comparisons for Evokers and Non-Evokers in Patch 11.0.5

I would hate having to jump everywhere for max movement speed!

If you count it as a racial it’s pretty powerful, especially as it has no cooldown it seems.

Currently race doesn't make a huge impact, sure there are dome strong ones like dark iron dwarfs buy in a lot of cases it's just a nifty bonus or flavor but this? this is insane and needs to be completely removed

Now if only they'd take the time to implement player armor onto the Dracthyr models so we can finally transmog our dragon forms if we want.

Ok but why do only certain vanilla classes get to be literally every race and not DK, druid, DH, monk, paladin? We have cross faction guilds now, restricting classes based on lore is really dumb

Warriors do not have deadly encounters with gravity.

I think my favorite part of this is the callout as a warlock main so far this expansion that I do regularly have deadly encounters with gravity.

Still broken, imo.

Under no situation should any of those classes get a free knockback negation.

High chance a lot of rerolls from Humans after the beating that racial took to be pretty useless now.

The classes that get to be every race are the ones that don't require the art team to make new assets. They dont want to take the time and effort to make new druid forms or divine steeds or what have you for every race/class combo, so the classes that get unlocked are the ones they dont have to make new animations for.

That's just false.

DPS racials have upwards to 3-5% DPS swings on some classes.

The utility of some others like Shadowmeld of Night Elves is also incredibly broken in specific situations.

Racials have been an issue for as long as they have existed.

They gonna keep it like this for 1 month and remove it afterwards, to get maximum profit from race changes.

Ya'll need to let go of this. It's never going to happen. If they ever had any intention of doing it, it would have happened already. They just simply won't go back and redesign every piece of armour from the past 20 years to fit on the Dracthyr Skeleton.

A good compromise for this is to allow players to keep the initial transmog they had in the character creation window for their dragon form, while also having their transmog for their visage form. If these two were kept separate and we could see both of them, I think it would do way more for players going forward. I haven't been able to find a way for this to work without Blizz needing to step in and hotfix it. Why let me choose a dragon form outfit on creation if I was never going to see it again?

Honestly I'm just super excited to be able to tank and have access to soar.

Comment by Zee3

It's still "Press spacebar to negate knockback effects" on top of still being faster.

They could at least add more barbershop armor options, more scale colors, scars, jewelry, but they are lazy as #$%^.

So based on the comparison video, it seems like it's around a 21% runspeed boost in practice (14 sec vs. 17 sec). Still excellent, but not 43% overall since it only affects your character when you're ascending in your jump arc.
