What are the reasons for dragons?

It was widely speculated that Dragonflight will take players of Blizzard's flagship game to the fabled Dragon Isles in which they'll climb to the new limit of 70 with WoTLK Classic Gold. This will help rebuild the titular dragonflights to be able to act as Azeroth's defenders once more. As players progress through four of the Dragon Isles four new leveling zones, all of which is associated with specific dragonflights, they'll unlock the customizable Dragon Isle Drakes that can be utilized to fly around the new region (no Pathfinder achievement required) through the expansion's brand-new Dragonriding mechanic. Instead of the usual flying mounts, riding on one of the Dragon Isle Drakes can allow players to nosedive into the air, dash, spin and much more. Dragonriding can, at the moment, only work in the brand-new Dragon Isle zones. Of sure, there will be new dungeons and an entirely new adventure to be explored at the time of launch , too.

Alongside the Dragon Isle leveling zones--the Waking Shores, Ohn'ahran Plains, Azure Span, and Thaldraszus--Dragonflight will also include a new starter area for the game's latest faction-neutral hero class, a class that marks a first in WoW history. This new class, the Evoker is tied to the new Dracthyr races Bipedal dragons that resemble humans that as with the Alliance's Worgens come with an completely customizable human appearance. Evoker is a ranged, mail-wearing class which harnesses the dragonflight's magic for either dealing damage via the Devastation specialization , or heal allies as the Preservation specialization.

What are the reasons for dragons? The answer is that, according to WoW Director of games Ion Hazzikostas in an interview with P2Pah, The Dragon Isles were one of the only remaining areas in Azeroth that have been mentioned in-game over the years but which players had not yet visited. After the Dragon Isles were chosen the team began thinking about possibilities of incorporating a dragon-themed race. It soon became clear that having players select for the Dracthyr as a classic race that could be one of the game's numerous different classes, although with the added benefit of draconic abilities, such as breath attacks as well as the ability to fly, wouldn't be a good idea.
