Creating Your Dracthyr EvokerDracthyr Evokers are a new Hero class and begin their adventures at level 58. Creating your first dracthyr has no restrictions other than it requires
Dragonflight and you are only able to have one dracthyr per realm. Subsequent dracthyr can only be created once there is a level 50 (non-dracthyr) character on the realm you wish to create it.
You will also choose your faction on character creation along with all the various elements that make your
dracthyr uniquely— you. There are a multitude of options and combinations you can choose. (We wish you luck in your endeavor. You’re going to need it.)
The Color of MagicDracthyr Evokers were created to wield the magic of all five dragonflights providing a very distinctive style of spell casting. You will be able to see the coalescence of these powers each time you cast. Evokers also have two distinctive specializations which take advantage of these magic types: Devastation and Preservation.
Devastation is a ranged DPS specialization that uses the power of the red and blue dragonflights to do devastating damage to their foes.
Blue Spells: Focused and overwhelming power
Red Spells: Fast explosive power
Preservation is a healing specialization that uses the power of the green and bronze dragonflights to heal their allies in battle.
Green Spells: Nurture and heal
Bronze Magic: Bend and manipulate time
Each ability associated with a dragonflight will have the name listed both in the spellbook and in the tooltip.
Becoming EmpoweredDracthyr Evokers have special
Empowered abilities that they can use to change the strength of the spell or ability they are casting. By holding down a button on your keyboard or mouse, you will power up a spell. The longer you charge the spell, the more damage it could do or the more targets the spell could hit.
For example, one
Empowered spell first learned is called
Fire Breath.
Fire Breath can be powered up as a Level I, Level II, or Level III spell. An indicator bar will appear when casting to display the level of the spell that will be cast. Releasing the button or moving before completing a cast will stop the spell from going off provided it hasn’t reached one of those levels. Releasing the spell when the indicator is within the range of the level indicated will cast at that level.
At each level, the amount of damage done when using
Fire Breath is increased. Not all
Empowered abilities are alike, and over time, you will learn how to make the most of them.
Embracing your Draconic NatureDracthyr have two racial abilities that truly embrace the nature of this race:
Wing Buffet and
Tail Sweep.
Wing Buffet: With a powerful flap of your wings, knock away your enemies in front of you.
Tail Sweep: Lash out with your tail, knocking enemies within 6 yards into the air.
You will also learn to
Glide which you can activate by using the jump key while falling to slow your descent.
Better than simply gliding slowly to the ground beneath you, you will also learn how to
Soar for a time to move around the land. To get the most lift to your loft and go the distance, you’ll want to hone your timing and start from a higher elevation such as the edge of a cliff.
Soar: Muster your strength and launch into the air.
There are several other base abilities that will enhance your time spent as an elite dracthyr Evoker including the
Living Flame spell which you can use to either damage enemies or heal yourself.
Living Flame (Red): Send a flickering flame toward your target, dealing Fire damage to an enemy or healing an ally.
In EssenceSelect spells and abilities require a resource known as
Essence. This is displayed under your character portrait as five small opalescent globes and will automatically refill over time. One such spell that uses
Essence is
Disintegrate, which is the first spell you will learn as you progress through the starting area for the dracthyr.
Disintegrate (Blue): Tear into the enemy with a blast of blue magic, inflicting
Spellfrost damage, and slowing their movement speed.
This is just the tip of the iceberg and there is more to explore during testing. We look forward to reading your feedback and we will see you in the Dragon Isles.
