In WoW: Dragonflight, the restrictions on the class-race combinations are relaxed again significantly. Are you ready for tauren and draenei rogues? For tauren mages? Orc priest?
The developer interview tour for the upcoming Expansion WoW: Dragonflight keeps running. This time Lead Combat Designer was Brian Holinka in the MrGM twitch stream to guest. When asked if there might be some new class-race combinations, the Combat Designer gave a surprising answer.
He can’t exactly list all of the new class-race cmbos coming into Dragonflight, but there’s definitely a lot that needs to be loosened up and will make mages, priests and rogues available to all races. WoW players will soon be able to play their tauren as a stealthy villain and dress up in mage robes. What used to be more of a meme will become a reality in the upcoming expansion!
Original answer by Holinka
These were the exact words of Brian Holinka when asked about new race/class combinations in Dragonflight:
“Yeah, you know, we kinda have this broad direction. I don’t wanna make any huge promises but we kinda feel like we want to move towards a world where the race of a character is not a limiter for what they can or what they can become in the World of Warcraft.
We’re working towards that but not all classes have the same kinda content requirements. More of this will come over time, but immediately in 10.0 we’re gonna be making Rogues, Mages and Priests available for all races, so everyone will be able to go out and make their sneaky Tauren Rogue tiptoeing on their hooves all around.
These will be introduced in 10.0, with general intentions for us to look at more options down the line, but immediately in 10.0, you’ll be able to change your Rogue, Mage and Priest to any race combinations.”
Blizzard wants in WoW (buy now ) move slowly but surely in a direction where the choice of the class is not made impossible by the choice of the people. However, not all restrictions will be lifted directly – the best example of this is arguably the extremely limited caller of the Dracthyr.
