• Tailored Builds for Every Role: You’ll have more ways to create a class build that suits your preferred playstyle, including tanking, healing, and both melee and ranged DPS.
• Class-Specific Transmog: Unlock new transmog sets and cosmetics that are exclusive to the newly available Dracthyr classes.
• Updated Racial Abilities: Enjoy refined Dracthyr racials that cater to each class, allowing you to maximize your potential.
