Can’t mine. but can skin.
Portals and summoning have nothing to do with mounts. Stick to the subject at hand and stop making up strawman arguements.
It’s baseline while you are IN travel form, are you saying ghost wolf should also benefit from all of mount equipment? And wild charge jump yes is special to druids. And yes, not being able to be dismounted dazed is inherently part of a druid as is instant cast, you’re asking for that stuff to be applied to your already powerful forms, that’s the point, nobody else has that stuff, why should you also benefit from it since you’re already more powerful than standard mounts?
Edit: Spelling fixes
When it comes to people saying it’s OP, it is kinda part of the subject.
Instant casted travel form is a class mechanic, so saying that is OP is like saying portals are OP.
All the other players HAVE given reasonable rebukes as to why it would be too OP, just because you don’t like their reasons doesn’t make them unreasonable.
Please explain to me how it is then?
No one has explained how walking on water, not getting dazed, or having a slow fall is OP?
Everyone is saying the built in class mechanics are OP, which is a different subject entirely.
You are more than welcome to try and explain how it’s OP and effects your gameplay though, I’ll enjoy the read.
No, you brought portals and summoning into the conversation which has absolutely nothing to do with druid travel forms, mounts and mount speed.
If you can’t understand all of the comments that have explained exactly that so far in this 148 count thread, than I don’t think any more explanations will make it any clearer to you. Sometimes you just have to say enough and walk away as what is being said is falling on deaf ears.
I disliked when they combined travel / flying forms to smartcast anyway. No mount equip makes sense, the advantage being cheetah is instant.
I feel like it won’t be long before this becomes yet another QQ about water strider for no reason thread.
•How wild charge works is NOT class specific, is a talent, and has NOTHING to do with water walking, not getting dazed, and slow falls
•Druids do get dazed, and their speed is reduced to a permanent 40% movement speed. This is less than most classes movement abilities, and again has nothing to do with the subject at hand.
•the forms are not going to made godly because we can walk on water. You are overreacting to something that’s no where near game-breaking.
Why? That would make it worse. Its a flying “mount” that lets you carry someone else.
Saying it’s OP and can’t even give a reasoning other than “others said it is, and you brought up portals so I don’t have to” isn’t a very good rebuttal.
That’s because not a single person has explained how it is game-breaking OP.
They are discussing class mechanics that have nothing to do with the point of the thread.
All other classes get DISMOUNTED when dazed, and cannot remount, especially in combat, as they can’t remount in combat.
So you’re just admitting that you want all the benefits and no drawbacks for a druid, and yes water walking while in travel form will make them even more broken as they won’t even need to use their wild charge in aquatic form to run away faster in water.
Think of it like the striders. Blizzard says this is the way it is. Deal with it.
Druids can’t use mount equipment. Deal with it.
They’re in charge. It ain’t gonna happen.
You are the only one here using a lot of words to say nothing of value.
How did you get that out of what I posted? Lol.
Everything you have said so far is class mechanics, and have nothing to do with QoL.
There is items out now that prevent dazing. This argument is not even a good one, and again, has nothing to do with it being OP.
They said no classic wow, yet here we are
They say a lot of things. It does not mean it can’t be changed later.
Feedback is what helps change the game.
I’m giving feedback, I’m still waiting to hear why it is OP?
If it is game-breaking, then it should not be added.
Saying it’s OP without anything backing it up has no value.
Seems fine with me. Travel form isn’t a mount and it’s just like the Sky Golem and that doesn’t benefit from the equipment. Use an actual mount like the rest of us have to if you don’t like it. Trave form already has numerous advantages over regular mounts.
This complaint is quite hilarious tho. 2-4 weeks after this equipment is in the game you druids will be flying around in your insta cast flight form.
You want an answer to this original question?
Here is your answer. They are removing water walking from the strider so everyone can benefit from it. Druids and worgens can buy those mount equipments just like everyone else and water walk on their favorite mount. Go for it. YOu’re not being shafted, you’re being included in “everyone”. Go to your mount journal, equip that little piece of equipment, and off you go on your mount.
Good answer? I think so.
Oh, I forgot. It’s Sunday, right?
Waiting for the magical 404.
And if I like being in travel form as a mount, I’m punished now?
Again, if you don’t like me pushing for less restrictions, then you are free to say that, but keeping quite about something I don’t like is not going to help change it.
Imo they need to revert the waterstrider nerf as well.
What forum rule was broken to be 404ed? We are discussing wow in a wow forum.
Just because you disagree doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist.
