Then just give everyone a way to glide. Give every class a skill, or add gliders ala GW2. Things are back to being fair then, and we have added fun to the game rather than removing it.
Is this a serious suggestion? Itâs gotta be fun for Rogues that one of their only unique skills was watered down with a potion. Thereâs an opportunity cost for it, since then you canât use a potion of power. There were gust of air potions, as well, why do we need to extend glide to any classes besides Evoker and DH? Most classes have some comparable skill, but may as well just give them the fun* version thatâs basically available on demand.
*not at all OP we swear
so youâre in favor of homogenizing classes?
are you not concerned that itâs a slippery slope?
in fact, itâs already gone too far, everyone has a stun or two, 4-5 CC options, 3+ defensives, etc etc.
next youâll get a race that has stealth, and everyone gets stealth. a sort of juiced up night elf
high elf - turn invisible. cancelled by attacking and taking damage. cannot be used in combat
what a world that would beâŠ
Glide is simply a movement ability. Giving everyone a glider would be a fun little quality of life thing. It wouldnât make the classes all the same, and it much better than the suggestion of removing it from a race because other races wouldnât have it.
So yeh, let everyone have a glider. Dracthyr would no longer be seen as overpowered by everyone complaining about it because everyone would be on the same playing field. Just make it another little mount like thing people could collect and customise.
âIt works on one boss across 8 dungeonsâ is not trivializing mechanics

Iâm genuinely curious what you think these gamebreaking uses for glide are in PvE.
With Plenty of knockbacks itâs better to just position well and eat the knock back. Even just tapping glide to land is either the same amount of time or slower than just eating the knock. Half the knocks in the game donât even interrupt you so again, youâre better off just positioning well and not interrupting your cast.
As far as this notion that it allows you to effectively ignore ground targets goes, thatâs also just not a significant advantage, if itâs an advantage at all.
Iâve played an absurd amount of priest since legion and void torrent, trust me when I say, I know about ground targets and trying to eek out casts. I can count on one hand the number of times glide would have been the difference between a cast and a cancel with any merit, that couldnât be also solved by my positioning or better timing.
This doesnât even take into account the actual numerical benefit doing this would give you. We are probably talking a couple hundred dps, like less than a percent of a percent to âperfectly utilize glideâ to glide cast.
The whole idea that glide is some massive game warping ability to have is absurd.

I believe you mightâve been thinking of Hover, which wouldâve been correct.

It is honestly a better solution than 1 race of half the classes having it.
No one creating a new character would in their right mind would not take it.
The new player tutorial even needs to change. âHold W to moveâ âPress Space to Jumpâ, âIf dracthyr press space again to boost yourself and double jumpâ
to be honest i think they will launch it as it is. they gonna get all that cheese from the FOTM rerollers who will go little dragon for them gainz and abuses, and in 2-4 weeks itâs gonna be disabled, or nerfed to something like what monk has right now, that Lighter than Air talent that no one in their right mind takes
Yep agreed, that is exactly what Iâve been saying. It lasts 2 weeks before it gets nerfed.
