I can get behind this, since I don’t recall ever seeing any wide-spread requests for it, and all it has done is divide players even more.

You’re not being punished. You’re making a choice. Unlike most people, you do have a choice between a mount with equipment or your travel form. You have 318 mounts plus travel form to choose from.

Imo I should have the choice to have those equipment in travel form as well.
Blizzard adds everything related to mounts to Druid travel forms, blizzard clearly treats them as mounts themselves (Order Hall mount is proof of that).
Imo, they should include this.
Unlike your Druids, they actually need to be mounted to be useful.
Which means they can also be dazed. And it’s not insta cast.

If you want your precious travel form to be a mount then they need to add that lovely 1.5 sec cast time to it.

We agree, as long as they make travel form lose ALL of it’s benefits. You are trying to say your “class mechanics” should benefit from travel form. That’s where we’re getting the “you want everything” and you’ve admitted that multiple times. If you wanted your travel form to be treated like a mount, push for that, ask for travel form to not be castable in combat, have a mount cast time, and receive no benefits whatsoever that a mount wouldn’t (should be able to be dazed and dismounted without using a consumable, etc). Your mounts don’t automatically all become instant class because “you’re a druid and it’s a class mechanic”, they’re exclusive to travel form. Travel form is already powerful enough as is, giving it water walking so it can evade PvP more easily in water IS broken. Push for it to be treated like a mount if that’s what you want, but as is you have the choice to use a mount and use mount equipment, which you will not do because of how powerful travel form is.
So can Paladins and DKs also lose their mount benefits as well then?

Mount equip currently does work on Running Wild. Not sure whether it’s a bug or if Bornakk just forgot Worgen exist.
I always use “Running Wild” as my Worgen mount. I love the animation.
Two of my most played characters are Worgen.
One more disappointing “improvement” to add to the stack of the last couple of weeks.
Yes. Why did you even pursue this? They’re not mounts in the sense of a external creature mounts. Druids and Worgen’s forms/abilities aren’t in the mount journal where all the mounts live (where the item slot is going), what made you think they even had a chance or should have a chance of attaching equipment…essentially to yourself?
I was literally answering your question, albeit flippantly. The other classes already have class advantages. Also, I’m not sure you understand what “strawman” means, it’s not the correct fallacy to accuse me of here.
Bringing up the other 11 classes and suggesting that they require “compensation” if druids travel form isn’t trivialized is you going off topic, after all we’re strictly speaking about mount equipment as it pertains to travel form.

I can’t believe this thread has gone on this long. No class has as many advantages as a Druid. Especially when it comes to mobility with travel form. And you want the mount equipment on top of it? Water-walking, instant, snare-shedding, cannot-be-dazed-out-of-form travel form?? Get outta here.
And let’s not forget the only class that has 4 specs as well.

You can make any class/spec sound op if you just simply list off the things that it has or does in rant form.

You’re just a little biased there, homeboy. Don’t stay here and fight me. Just instantly turn into a bird and fly away.
I also think it’s hilarious that you think that little paragraph and sentence is a rant.

I wouldn’t include portals in that considering how readily available portals and teleports are to just about everyone at level cap (and I’m not just talking about the easily-accessible hubs). Mages got a much harder shaft to their ‘unique’ class features several years ago than what you’re feeling in 8.2.
Travel form is still going to be instant cast. Travel form will still be extremely resilient against dazing (you don’t get kicked out of it and you can just wild charge and what was dazing you can’t keep up). If you somehow get kicked out of flight form mid-air high enough that the parachute equipment would make a difference, you’d be out of combat and able to recast it well before you’d hit the ground (and even if you’re kept in combat, you have a couple abilities that would allow you to bypass the potential fall damage anyway).
Oh, and let’s not forget that you will still get all of these benefits at once rather than having to choose one like every other class that has to choose their mount equipment.
The one and only argument that I can see for an update to compensate for this patch would be to increase aquatic form swim speed at a certain level, though I’m sure you’d be thrilled with that considering how useful it is with flying on the horizon. :^)
Your argument lacks substance. “Druids are op!” supported by simply listing druid abilities.
Hot damn, Shamans are op. They can res themselves, walk on water, summon elementals and totems to help them, use hero/lust, turn into a wolf/raptor whenever…look at all of these things, they must be op!
Also, I can’t turn into a bird in combat. ![:confused:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/confused.png?v=6" ":confused:")

You’re not staying on topic. I am. The topic is druid mobility, in regards to mount equipment.
Druids are already OP in the mobility department, and have been since the beginning. Allowing them to also use mount equipment is a joke. Are you agreeing with the OP that druids should have mount equipment in travel form?
You’re outclassed here, son. You don’t even have an argument. You’re just opposing mine to oppose it because you’re a druid.
Pretty sure we’re done here.

What we’re saying is either druid forms are counted as mounts, which they should be able to benefit from the equipment, or they should be counted as forms, which means druids should not be dismounted in flight form.
One of the two.
And before you give me the crap about druids OP with mount equipment… DKs and Paladins are not losing their mount benefits but they are also able to benefit from the equipment. DKs are going to be extremely op in the mount department thanks to this.

You’re seriously going to compare death knight and paladin abilities with travel form? And everything it can do? Are you serious?

Yes because it serves the SAME FUNCTION. There is no difference.
Seriously grow up.
