I think the glide should have a little flap animation each time you use it, because… lets face it, we’re spamming that thing to get that extra distance!
We’re not actually gliding if we’re flapping our wings.
It’s fine as is.

no no, just a single flap, for that boost forward it gives. One flap for each time you activate it. use current animation for when you’re just letting yourself glide, yes, but the initial boost could be a flap.
It feels weird when I’m flying around and merely opening and closing wings, no flap, yet I get a boost forward.
We should get a double jump where we flap our wings sure the Demon Hunters won’t mind

Welp, we got our wings clipped, even though we’re dragons, with wings all the time, our glide is now effectively worse than Demon hunters now, who get a double jump AND glide.

Our glide is still better than theirs. We got a slightly less good version of Glide to what DH had in Legion/BFA/SL, and now theirs has been trashed. It feels so bad that you can’t even really float down hills anymore, you have to keep jumping. Our glide is better, we just don’t get a boost. I won’t play my DH anymore, it feels awful.
last I checked they could glide with a boost, just like us, only they had to either do a double jump first or press the glide key manually

They won’t even give us flight mode even though the skill is already in the game files just hidden.

at this point… either give us back the sky hopping or bring our soar up to DragonRiding levels (with whatever unlocked skills earned) ((ideally both, because skyhopping was actually fun!))

We should have a racial flight ability that gives us regular flying, same way as worgens running Wild gives them ground mount. The devs really missed the mark on this class…really disappointed

I don’t play Demon Hunter, so forgive me for asking, but how is theirs worse? I know they get the whole double jump thing, but I thought the actual glide part was the same. Speed boost upon opening wings, and then glide down at a relatively steep angle.
Not doubting, just asking to be enlightened. 
I was not happy when they removed sky hopping. Still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Fun was detected. Fun was nuked from orbit by the new and updated nerfnuke A massive upgrade from the nerfhammer.
You used to be able to glide long distances. While testing on beta, you can no longer glide long distances, you basically just fall slowly.
Rather that gliding at roughly a 30 degree decline, you fall at about a 60 degree decline.
I haven’t tested on live to see if that change made it through, but when I first tested Evoker I thought to myself, why is it that i’m a dragon and yet my glide is worse than DH glide? Then I played DH and I was astounded that it was even worse.
I just did a direct test. and the angle of descent is the same. Drakthyr make less distance in a single glide, DH get more distance than Drakthyr, because of their double jump, but speed is roughly the same.
flying from a peak near stormwind down to the walls of the Cathedtral
DH: 41s
Evoker: 41s
