The normal mount speed is 530 in TWW. My Druid is moving at 420 when in flight form, and 530 when on a flying mount. I am hoping they will adjust this lack of speed. I am sure many other druids are also not happy.
still bugged!!!
The Druid’s flight form is 110% slower than using a mount, making the flight form meaningless
420% vs 530%
The thinking could be “well, Flight Form has the near-unique advantage of instant cast and usable in motion, so it’s fair to make it slower.”
Monk Zen Flight has always been less than max mount speed, so there is some precedent.
Best way to test is to race a druid in steady flying form. I’m going on a hunch that the addon is incorrect.
My theory is when you’re in flying form moving at 410%, you’re no longer in a human form, so the addon would only show you the speed of your form. But if you’re mounted, then I believe you see the speed of both you AND your mount at the same time, essentially adding the values together, totaling to the aforementioned 530%. Again, this is just a theory and not a fact.
One side note is normally you would run at 100% speed, which means the total should equal 510% if my theory was correct. However, enchants and mount items that increase mount speed does not affect flight form, as it’s technically not considered a mount (as far as I know).
It seems that it is fixed as of last night! My druid was going the same speed as my other steady flight mounts!
