20th Anniversary Update PTR Development NotesThis Public Test Realm (PTR) is a testing environment for upcoming
World of Warcraft content.

20TH ANNIVERSARY EVENT- The 20th Anniversary Celebration of World of Warcraft is almost here, and we have many exciting activities and rewards to share with you. These activities and rewards won’t be available this week but will become available for testing in a later PTR build, so keep an eye out on this forum for more information. In the meantime, take a look at our 20th Anniversary article to learn more about what’s in the works: https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/news/24136212/.
THE DRACTHYR SPREAD THEIR WINGS TO NEW CLASSES- The exposure to new races and their abilities in the Dragon Isles has expanded opportunities for growth among the dracthyr. In the 20th Anniversary Celebration content update, players will be able to create new Dracthyr as a Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Mage, Warrior, or Warlock.
- These newly specialized Dracthyr classes will begin at level 10 in the Forbidden Reach and will be sent to Chromie in their capital city after completing their introductory leveling experience.
- Known Issue: Newly created Dracthyr classes can currently pick Exile’s Reach as an option in this build. This will be resolved in a future build.
- Undertaking one of these new classes as a Dracthyr will allow you to choose between fighting as a Dracthyr or fighting in Visage form by activating Visage, which switches you between forms. You can additionally choose to toggle on Chosen Identity, which will automatically shift you into Dracthyr form when entering combat and Visage form when leaving combat.
- Dracthyr Racial Updates
- Tail Swipe cooldown has been increased to 3 minutes (was 1.5 minutes).
- Wing Buffet cooldown has been increased to 3 minutes (was 1.5 minutes).
- Tail Swipe and Wing Buffet no longer automatically shift you into Dracthyr form for all classes except Evoker. Evokers will continue to automatically shift into Dracthyr form for their Draconic abilities.
- Wing Buffet now displays wing effects around your character if you use it while in Visage form.
- Activating Visage is now off the global cooldown. It has a self cooldown of 1.5 seconds.
- If you activate Chosen Identity as a non-Evoker, you will now automatically shift into Dracthyr form when entering combat, and you will enter Visage form when leaving combat.
- Soar will now cause you to shift back into Visage upon landing if you initially activated it while in Visage form, instead of being reliant on Chosen Identity to be activated.
