World of Warcraft Dracthyr Class Update Has a Surprise for Priests

Key Takeaways

  • Dracthyr Priests in WoW will have special wing effects with abilities like Dark Ascension.
  • Patch 11.0.5 expands class options for Dracthyr to include Hunter, Rogue, Mage, and more.
  • New visual effects for Dracthyr Priests make them a unique choice for players to try out.

As a seasoned World of Warcraft player with over a decade of experience under my belt, I must say that the upcoming Dracthyr Priests have me absolutely thrilled! The prospect of soaring through Azeroth with those stunning wing visual effects during Dark Ascension or Apotheosis is simply exhilarating.


In the upcoming patch 11.0.5 for World of Warcraft, when Dracthyr Priests are introduced, they will display distinctive wing visuals while using abilities such as Dark Ascension, Apotheosis, and Ultimate Penitence. These exclusive particle effects are incorporated as part of the Dracthyr class overhaul in World of Warcraft.

In the game Dragonflight, a new race called Dracthyr was introduced initially limited to the draconic Evoker class. However, it has been confirmed that with Patch 11.0.5, Dracthyr will gain more class options such as Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Mage, Warrior, and Warlock. These expanded choices are now available for players to test on the Public Test Realm.

Interestingly, during experiments with the new class mixes, spectators spotted a captivating aspect about Dracthyr Priests when they employed Dark Ascension, Apotheosis, or Ultimate Penitence in their draconic forms. As they do, Dracthyr exhibit a stunning visual enhancement where their wing membranes shimmer with either light or dark energy. This mesmerizing effect remains throughout the duration of the ability – even when they glide through the skies on Skyriding. For those eager to witness these effects, Wowhead has posted footage showcasing them.

Unique Dracthyr Priest Effects in WoW: The War Within

For other priests in World of Warcraft, each ability summons a pair of wings on their backs. However, for the Dracthyr in their draconic form, this wouldn’t work as the spell effects would overlap with their own wings. Instead, they have a distinct and cool spell effect that might persuade some players to create a Dracthyr Priest character, even if they hadn’t considered it before.

Currently, the patch that includes the Dracthyr class update for World of Warcraft hasn’t been given a specific release date. However, it’s worth noting that the PTR calendar indicates the World of Warcraft 20th anniversary event will start on October 23. Since this event is a significant part of the update, there’s a possibility that Patch 11.0.5 could come out on October 22 – seven weeks after The War Within’s complete release, aligning perfectly with World of Warcraft’s frequent release pace from Dragonflight.

The upcoming 20-year celebration for “World of Warcraft” promises its grandest in-game event ever! This colossal event introduces a fresh raid version of Blackrock Depths, multiple world bosses, a Timewalking event featuring Classic content, and a plethora of collectibles that players can acquire by completing various tasks within the game. Starting from level 10, fans will have the opportunity to engage in certain activities, while all events will be accessible by level 15. This celebration offers an ideal opportunity for those leveling their new Dracthyr Priests.
