World of Warcraft has announced that Dracthyr will soon be able to choose different classes in The War Within. Although this feature may not be available right at the expansion's launch, fans of World of Warcraft can anticipate the race from Dragonflight to have this option early on in the expansion period.

Dracthyr, introduced as the newest race in Dragonflight, are shape-shifting beings presently limited to the Evoker class – a dragon-themed class capable of DPS and healing using the powers of the five dragonflights. With two customizable forms, Dracthyr offer the most diverse character creation possibilities of any race in World of Warcraft.

Excitingly, Dracthyr enthusiasts will soon experience their favorite race in a fresh light. During a collective interview at a recent content creator event marking the commencement of the World of Warcraft: The War Within alpha phase, game director Ion Hazzikostas confirmed the intention to expand the class options for Dracthyr within The War Within. Although a specific timeline was not provided, reports from attendees like MrGM suggest this enhancement will likely occur early in the expansion. Notably, Dracthyr will retain the ability to engage in combat in their draconic or visage forms while playing these new classes.

Dracthyr's Expanded Class Selection in WoW: The War Within

• Ion Hazzikostas has verified the expansion of class choices for Dracthyr in the early stages of The War Within.
• The precise classes that will be available remain undisclosed.
• Dracthyr will have the flexibility to battle in either of their two forms.

The available classes for Dracthyr are yet to be revealed, but existing patterns may offer players some hints. Presently, all races have access to every class except Demon Hunter, Druid, Paladin, and Shaman. The inclusion of Druid, Paladin, and Shaman would necessitate additional resources, making their availability uncertain. It is unlikely that Dracthyr will have access to Demon Hunter, and the inclusion of Death Knights could require clarification, but most other classes are expected to be accessible, especially considering that Dracthyr already has voice lines for many of them.

Moreover, The War Within will introduce at least one new allied race to World of Warcraft in the form of the Earthen. These stone dwarves from Khaz’Algar will be able to choose from every class except Demon Hunter, Druid, and Evoker, providing them with a wide range of options. As an Allied Race, players will likely need to achieve a specific milestone to create Earthen characters after completing the main campaign of The War Within, so enthusiasts will eagerly await details on this unlocking process as the expansion unfolds.
