World of Warcraft Giving Dracthyr a New Skyriding Feature

Key Takeaways

  • WoW introduces the Dracthyr-only Skyriding known as Squadrons in Patch 11.0.5, allowing formation flying.
  • Dracthyr will get the new Squadron talent, enabling them to fly together using their own wings.
  • Patch 11.0.5 also will add new class options for Dracthyr in WoW.

As a dedicated World of Warcraft player with over a decade under my belt, I must say that the latest update is truly exhilarating! The introduction of Dracthyr-only Skyriding Squadrons in Patch 11.0.5 promises an unparalleled sense of camaraderie and teamwork as we soar through the skies together.


In a novel twist for the Dracthyr characters in World of Warcraft, a new feature known as Squadrons has been introduced, allowing these elongated, dragon-like beings to ride together through the skies in synchronized flight, akin to soaring in formation. This new ability is added to all Dracthyr Skyriding trees and is activated using the Soar skill

Initially, upon their introduction in Dragonflight, the Dracthyr possessed a racial skill called Soar. This ability granted them a trial version of Dragonriding, known as Skyriding, that had its own cooldown and unique abilities. In Patch 10.2.5, the Soar skill evolved into full-fledged Skyriding, enabling Dracthyr to utilize the system across all flying zones within World of Warcraft

In the upcoming Patch 11.0.5, the Squadron skill will be added exclusively for Dracthyr in World of Warcraft. This new ability allows three Dracthyr players to fly together using their own wings, a feature known as Soar. Remarkably, this talent is free and can be accessed through the tree, similar to features like Ride Along

Dracthyr Squadron Skyriding Feature in WoW Patch 11.0.5

In a structured military past, Dracthyr foundations were laid within the discipline of soldiery. Thus, the Squadron characteristic aligns seamlessly with their history. Only Dracthyr can wield this option; other characters may share the ride on flying mounts, transforming them into infants of dragons, griffins, or other flying pets accompanying the mount. As of now, Blizzard has not revealed plans to extend this feature to ordinary Sky-riding in the future, although it is theoretically feasible

“In addition to the new Squadron feature, a recent patch for Dracthyr players has also brought about an expansion in the available character classes. As of this update, Dracthyr characters can now be Hunters, Rogues, Priests, Mages, Warriors, and Warlocks in World of Warcraft. These new Dracthyr or Visage characters will participate in combat while still retaining their unique racial abilities, Tail Swipe and Wing Buffet, though these abilities will be on a prolonged cooldown.”

In advance, there’s no fixed date for the launch of update 11.0.5 as of yet. However, based on clues and past schedules, enthusiasts of World of Warcraft are looking forward to its arrival, possibly near October 22 or 29, given that the massive 20th anniversary event will unfold in November and December, and the eight-week release rhythm of the game, as indicated in Dragonflight
