Great news for Evokers in World of Warcraft! The next 10.2.5 Patch will not only Follower Dungeons, a new Gilneas campaign, dragonriding unlocked worldwide, but it also include a quality-of-life change to how the Dracthyr fly across the skies. 

Following Dragonflight's overall success, many players were left wondering why this mechanic was not implemented on launch day, as it seemed odd for dragons not to be able to fly like their brethren.

With that being said, we will be taking a look at all of the changes that have hit the PTR recently so we can see what Blizzard Entertainment is bringing to the table. Let's get started!

WoW Dracthyr Dragonriding Coming to Seeds of Renewal

Some very exciting news for all players who play Evokers as the Dracthyr will now be able to soar across Azeroth and the Dragon Isles much faster. These are the latest patch notes shared by Blizzard devs:

DRACTHYR

  • New Passive Ability: Empowered Soaring – Soar is now equivalent to dragonriding, granting access to vigor and all dragonriding abilities.
  • New Passive Ability: Expedited Takeoff – Soar’s cooldown is reduced to 10 seconds.
  • Familiar Skies (Racial) has been removed.

Developers’ note: Soar dragonriding will become available after learning dragonriding on the account and the Evoker has completed the Forbidden Reach starting experience.

A very welcome change to all dragon lovers out there as this will allow for more intuitive gameplay so you can gather resources more efficiently or simply get to your desired location in a cool style. Here is a video showcasing the new Dracthyr dragonriding:

Hopefully, Blizzard will continue on this path to bringing much-needed changes to the game so it gets even more polished as time goes on. The new direction the devs are taking with the World of Warcraft universe might harbor another golden era at Blizzard.
