I’m not sure if it’s a Bug or a Feature, but it looks like the shaman’s ghost wolf is running through molasses. It’s super slow looking, which is kinda jarring. Activating spirit walk doesn’t make the animations go faster, either.

i’m getting this too. it looks like i’m not getting the speed increase?
Also seeing this. Please restore the previous animation, this looks/feels like I have a slowing effect debuff when I don’t, and it just feels wrong.
It doesn’t feel or look good whatsoever. I hope they change it back as well.

Same issue. Looks like I’m running through mud. Was fine this morning before patch.
Yes, please fix this horrible animation. Turn this garbage off, and revert it back to what it was, an actual running animation.
So glad someone else is posting this. The new (slow) run animation is terrible. Please revert!
Just replying to say I am also having this issue and it looks so unnatural.
If this is a feature. No one asked for this, and I’m sure no one wants this. This is a terrible change. It would be great if you conferred with the community to see if anyone at all would be like, “Hey, yeah, I’d like ghost wolf to look like garbage while running, please change to that.” If no one said that, then it’s fine, leave it as is.
Change the animation for this back ASAP. You’ve ruined this animation. This is why no one likes your staff because of idiotic changes like this.
Please revert
Hoping this is not a permanent change. This new animation is associated with slowness effects and does not read well.
Only noticed the animation change for Ghost Wolf after logging onto a shaman alt. It didn’t look to me like Glyph of the Ghost Raptor was affected on my shaman main, so I’m hopeful it’s just a bug. 
i think this is affecting more than shamans. my hunter pet looks like it’s running super slow as well. it looks super disjointed and strange now.
Please revert.
I can’t use ghost wolf like this… It makes me want to rage.

Having the same issue as well. It is driving me crazy!
Same issue as well. It’s a very visual dissonance that’s aggravating. I look like I’m running slow, but had to make sure that I was running the same speed as usual. Did they enlarge the model but reduce the size to ghost wolf?
Please revert this change. It looks and feels really bad to use wolf form now and I don’t know any shaman player who likes or wanted this
Laughs in Ghost Raptor
Seriously, I haven’t noticed any oddities in the run movement in the raptor-glyphed Ghost Wolf on my Troll shaman, so the issue could possibly be restricted to that particular wolf model?
Yes, please correct this issue. I can’t believe it was done intentionally.
The animation is very sluggish and it looks terrible.
