Does anyone know if Crusader Aura increases Dragonriding speed? I tried to measure it at lower speeds, but couldn’t spot a difference with it on or off. At high speeds, it’s pretty much impossible to tell.
Addons that show movement speed might be misleading, because they usually just add 20% to the calculation, regardless of whether it actually works or not.
I’ve been wondering that myself. I also wonder if the mount equipment works as well.
It doesn’t, as far as I’ve noticed. The legs don’t even move faster when grounded.
This is clearly not true. Ground speed is definitely faster with Crusader Aura on, even on a Dragonriding mount.
Just another thing that used to give Paladin something better than other classes made pretty much useless. I have tested the skill on, off and playing other classes without the speed boost and I have not really seen a difference.
I don’t notice a difference when flying on a Dragonriding mount at all w/ the aura on or off. I’ve checked and I just don’t see it moving any faster. Not sure about on the ground
The +20% mount speed of Paladins and Death Knights has been next to meaningless ever since they made all such bonuses additive rather than multiplicative and at the same time made most of them not stack.
Outside of instanced content most players have a +10% bonus from guild or somewhere else, and thus when flying (normal flight) a ‘+20%’ bonus is actually about 2.5% faster than normal epic flight.
On a dragon it’s barely 1%, so even if it does apply you’ll be very hard pressed to notice it.
So you get the 20% movement speed on the ground, but I actually have a hard time flying with cruisader aura on. I just made a Paladin farming alt and noticed that my dragon riding seemed “bad.” I turned it off and i was getting drafts and flying like normal.
I don’t think so, I’ve done a few races with it on and off and the results were nearly identical. I’m guessing there’s too many factors in dragon riding to just add a flat speed increase.
I’ve noticed it’s easier to stay in the warp speed thing (forget the name) on my pally with crusader aura vs my main evoker who I need to dip more on, and I think that the warp speed thing is % speed based. Not 100% sure.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t want to burn the talent point to get it, so I haven’t tried. I have wondered though.
Maybe it only affects ground riding?
