A Comprehensive Guide to Dracthyr Evoker in the Dragonflight Pre-Patch

Recommended Posts

Update: We now also have our guides ready for both specs and more:

_____________________________________________________

Dracthyr Evokers will be available later today on live servers. Check out our comprehensive guide to learn everything you need to know about the new race/class combo! 

Dracthyr Evoker Availability

  • Dracthyr Evokers will be available starting November 15 to those who pre-ordered Dragonflight.

Important Consideration for Those Creating Their First Dracthyr Evoker

The first Dracthyr Evoker created on your account is free and does not require a Level 50 character on any server. To take advantage of this, you can create your first Evoker on a server you do not play on for whatever reason; maybe you have a friend playing on that server, maybe you'd like to have a character of the opposing faction.

You will still be able to create your second Evoker on your main server granted that you have at least one Level 50 character there.

When you create your first Evoker on your main realm, you will be locked out of the option posted above.

Starting Zone / Level

  • Dracthyr Evokers start at Level 58 in the Forbidden Reach. At the end of the intro, you will hit Level 60.

Racial Mounts

The Dracthyr racial mount is the Vorquin. You will get your first rare mount free of charge. The rest can be bought in the Forbidden Reach from Treysh or later in Valdrakken.

Will we have enough gold to buy all the Vorquin mounts or will we need to mail gold to the Evoker character? If the latter, is there a mailbox in the starting zone?

Katy’s Stampwhistle is a toy usable by all of your characters which provides mailbox access. Note that a few zones block use of the toy, such as the level 1-10 expedition island. Update: But the toy did work for me in the Dracthyr starting zone today.

Edit: And, for a ton of work, you can equip your Argent Squire or Argent Gruntling with an Argent Pony Bridle to access the mailbox through the “pet”.

I have a question, can someone who bought the Dragonflight DLC play
Dracthyr?
even if a subscription expires?
Because on the test account the maximum level is 20, and Dracthyr already starts at level 58.

Or could you create a race but not be able to join a server?

(Sorry if this is no a best place to ask that)

      Kalimdor Cup is just the beginning. Based on datamined icons from the latest 10.1.5 PTR build, we're getting Dragonriding cups in other locations, including Outland, Pandaria, Draenor, the Shadowlands, and more.
      The latest Patch 10.1.5 build adds new calendar icons that hint at the arrival of new holidays in the form of Dragonriding Races (or cups) available in old expansion zones:
      Broken Isles (Legion)

      Draenor (Warlords of Draenor)

      Eastern Kingdoms (Vanilla)

      Great Sea Islands (Kul Tiras & Zandalar)

      Northrend (Wrath of the Lich King)

      Pandaria (Mists of Pandaria)

      Shadowlands (Shadowlands)

      The no heal comp strikes again as Psy and their group cleared a Mythic +24 dungeon without a healer. Congrats!
      Placeholder for tweet 1665035696745136129 While we have no VoD of the run, the no healer comp sparked some interesting discussion on Reddit regarding current class balance. Some think off-healing needs to be nerfed, while others think the group is actively handycapping themselves by not having a healer by doing 100K less DPS when compared to a +23 run with a healer.

      Rextroy discovered a completely broken and random interaction between Azerite and a Retribution Paladin talent that resulted in a +840% Movement Speed increase.
      Background Information
      This is, as stated NOT a hack, I have and will never hack ingame.
      But it is a really odd... one of THE weirdest interaction I have experienced so far ingame, because somehow the Azerite Trait "Indomitable Justice".
      Made back in Battle for Azeroth, meant to increase your damage on Judgement depending on the enemy health. Will bug out the "speed portion" of Judgment of Justice.
      Judgement of Justice is a new talent added in 10.0.7. That adds some damage to Judgment, and also your movement speed.
       
      It is most likely coded in a way so that the 10% damage bonus to Judgment, overlaps with the speed part of the talent. And Indomitable Justice, that boost the damage of Judgment, just hypercharges the talent.
      I went with a build to have access to as many Judgments as possible, and as often as possible! With a haste and speed set my speed maxed out at around 840% (You ARE able to get it higher but that requires BIS azerite pieces (ilvl wise) aswell as more base speed.
      Talking about the Azerite pieces, the speed scales with their ilvl. The best ones to get is from Eternal Palace mythic, since the ilvl will be fairly high and it has lots of potential "Indomitable Justice" drops.
      This speed is limited to content where Azerite is enabled, so you cannot use it in any "serious" PVE or PvP content!
      Please note that all the bugs have been reported and fixed before Rextroy uploaded the video.

      We're comparing raid spec popularity with average overall DPS in Patch 10.1. Find out how your spec performs!
      Here's an interesting figure created by Reddit user AttitudeAdjusterSE who compared raid specialization popularity with overall DPS from Mythic difficulty parses in Patch 10.1. The data is taken from WarcraftLogs from the last two weeks. 
      Figure
      Frost Death Knight is in an interesting position. While the number of parses is minimal, their overall DPS in the highest. Frost Death Knights are followed by Devastation Evokers, Demonology Warlocks, Elemental Shamans, Affliction Warlocks, and Shadow Priests.
