Blizzard on mount equipment: *Running wild, Druid Travel Forms will not benefit*

[Anobia-scarlet-crusade (Anobia)]

Blizzard has already shafted is enough by making our Order Hall mount not useable in a majority of content, and not actually giving us a MOUNT

I’m happy now I didn’t get the druid class mount.

[Lightfang-elune (Lightfang)]

in-form gathering and the other perks that come with travel form

Again, all of those “perks” can already be used on every class using profession items.

I would like a profession item to teleport me to boralus, or SW whenever I wanted to

[Yasudra-malorne (Yasudra)]

yes druids get dazed. but you can transform to cat and back to stag and be undazed.

[Chroesire-bleeding-hollow (Chroesire)]

It’s too bad it does not run at full mount speed in combat it runs about as fast as feral cat form

It’s good enough that all the Chinese gathering bots running around Tiragarde are ALL druids in travel form and not tank classes (which could nullify dazes entirely via defense).

Again, all of those “ perks” can already be used on every class using profession items.

The fact that you don’t need the items is the perk. That’s time, gold, and bag space saved, not mention the utility is there whether you planned to use it or not.

[Lightfang-elune (Lightfang)]

Actually you technically don’t get undazzed, the daze is just over by the time that happens. Nothing a Druid does removes a daze.

[Ehrin-kirin-tor]

Best way to look at this is if its in the mount page, its a mount. Plain and simple.
If its not, dont expect it to benefit from the system

But by the same token, if flight form is not classed as a mount… why can we be ‘dismounted’ by other players when in that form?

Double standards much? And if we can be dismounted in flight form, which is a shapeshift… why can’t we benefit from the counter that other players on mounts can benefit from… aka the parachute?

Do you know how overpowered Druid flight form would be if it ignored everything that dismounts players?

As for parachute mount gear… Flight form has built in Mounted Gathering, just like the goblin shredder…

I have not seen all these Druid gold farmers you are talking about lol. If that’s the argument for them being overpowered, then that’s not really a valid argument.

So now you will be able to do more than druids on mounts and teleport everywhere!

I still have not seen the OP side of “druid travel forms”.

The only OP thing about it, is the fact it removes snares.

I see them every time I’m doing an herb run.

And the argument isn’t that travel form is OP. The argument is that it would be OP if mount equipment stacked with its built-in effects. Nuke the stacking and all is cool.

[Anchor-runetotem]

This argument is silly because if it buffed all mounts and travel form equally then travel form would still only have its druid specific advantages. Bad argument.

[Lightfang-elune (Lightfang)]

How would it be overpowered with the ability to not be dazed? With flight being added this is basically pointless now.

How would it be overpowered to walk on water until hit? This can already be done easily by using a potion, and I have yet to see people doing that…?

How is it OP to have a parachute bring me to safety after jumping off a cliff? When this can be done with goblin gliders already…?

[Anobia-scarlet-crusade (Anobia)]

It’s too bad it does not run at full mount speed in combat it runs about as fast as feral cat form

And you’re complaining? Druids are the only class that has any kind of permanent speed boost in combat. Other classes have short term speed boosts but then they will be just running at 0% speed again. So you have a choice to run in travel form or cat form to get away. Cool beans.

[Chroesire-bleeding-hollow (Chroesire)]

It won’t be pointless next xpac cycle when we’re all grounded for two patches again. Look at the bigger picture.

For the rest, you’re not getting it. None of those individual things are OP, they’re OP when stacked with the parts of travel form that make it superior to mounts already. As said before, if you’re willing to turn your travel forms into true mounts without the extra frills, by all means please implement mount equipment for them.

[Waraila-burning-blade (Waraila)]

Do you know how overpowered Druid flight form would be if it ignored everything that dismounts players?

Not very, given we were unable to be dismounted by players up until BfA. So either our forms are classed as mounts, or they are shapeshifts. We should be classed as one or the other and either be unable to be forced out of form, or be able to be dismounted, but also have the mount equipment.

It’s a blatant case of double standards.

[Anobia-scarlet-crusade (Anobia)]

Honestly?? Just use a MOUNT and get whatever equipment you want to use and don’t bother touching your travel form again. That’s basically what you are asking for. Mounts that can use the equipment do not have insta cast and they are limited to ONE piece of equipment at a time. You can choose between water walking, anti-daze, or parachute.

Blizzard should make it where you can choose to disable your travel form and only use mounts. I’m sure you would be one of less than a handful of druids that would choose that option.

[Chroesire-bleeding-hollow (Chroesire)]

If druids were undismountable in flight form, War Mode would devolve to nothing but druids troll-ganking and never dying with flight form and the poor saps playing other classes unfortunate enough to turn on war mode. It’s too big of an advantage in PvP to be able to hover indefinitely.

Yes exactly, goodness forbid druids have to make a choice! What they’re asking for here is to basically have a single ultimate transportation button.

[Anobia-scarlet-crusade (Anobia)]

The bardings will not be available for use outside of Zandalar and Kul Tiras zones. That’s already on PTR. I’m sure the water walking potions and the gliders are next on the chopping block. Then you are down to ONE choice for your mount equipment.

Then druids need the option to have the parachute … otherwise it makes the flight form completely pointless to even bother using.

Honestly I only see one person asking for this. Druids for the most part are happy with travel form. I know I am. I have enjoyed my strider for the past 6 months since I got him. I hate that he’s being disabled, but it looks like it’s a done deal now.

[Rhuor-wyrmrest-accord (Rhuor)]

If you do that, you aren’t running at mount speed anymore. I’d you eat the daze and manage to get ahead, you’ll still have your speed.

If you’re a bear, then daze doesn’t exist, lol.

I had already decided that I would use a mount for flying and use the parachute equipment on it. It’s the only thing we are lacking, unless it’s not a hostile area and the flight form will be safe enough.
