Blizzard may have just inadvertently revealed a new feature coming in World of Warcraft's new The War Within expansion: the ability for Dracthyr to be classes other than Evoker.
In the most-recent episode of the WoWCast, Blizzard shared an image of the game's new account-wide Warbands login screen, showing four characters around a campfire. One of the characters in question is a Dracthyr, the humanoid dragon race added as part of the Dragonflight expansion. The Dracthyr are currently only able to be one class, the Evoker, which channels the magical powers of the various dragonflights to deal damage and support allies.
The Dracthyr shown in the WoWCast image, however, is definitely not an Evoker. Rather than using the caster weapons Evokers typically wield, this Dracthyr is wielding two giant axes. That has led players to believe the image actually shows a Dracthyr Warrior, seemingly confirming that the race will have its Evoker-only class restrictions lifted for The War Within's launch or sometime shortly after. Blizzard had previously hinted the Dracthyr would eventually be able to play as different classes, but that the feature would not be included for The War Within's release.
