Glide cancels knockbacks and doesn’t have a cd.
Oh I didn’t know it cancels knockbacks, ok yeah that’s really good then.
Had a token sitting in my bags, so I changed as well. I miss my human racial Will to Survive, as it comes in handy more often this expansion, but glide and wing buffet are pretty strong. I might end up missing human spirit later on in TWW, but we’ll see.
What I don’t miss switching from human is… No place like home.
It at least feels like I only have a ball and chain on one ankle instead of both now.
This troubles me a lot. I really like the appearance of blood elf and I have been playing this for a long time.
But Glide is too good to ignore, especially for this season when mobility does matter.
Cosmetics VS Practical Benefit….

You can still be in combat as a Blood elf male.
Honestly, the amount of absolute chad plays ive had in PvP with the knock back → tendrals around the pillars…is too many. its so much fun. So i enjoy being drac right now lol.
Not to mention, the transmog is still good. Human female and blood elf male models are great for Tmog

Its a really hard choice to make because meld has saved my life SO MANY time
“How many people are paying Blizzard money because they refuse to update our class at all?”

Turns out you did huh
I just wanted the pretty Visage form 
I did in-fact step up and own it. Leveling other things with Glide genuinely made every other race feel worse to play, so, hey. Seventeen dollars down the drain.

Reading through this thread today and the number of race changes to dragon is actually entertaining lol. Not trying to insult anyone but reading “I’m not changing” with the dragon avatar made me chuckle.

They’ll nerf it once the race changes stagnate out - Then they will buff Priest mobility, and everyone who race changed will changed back to their preferred race.

I read this thread with it’s complaints about “priest mobility”.
I’d never rolled a priest before. But with the new event I decided now was the time. My priest is currently level 73.
I’m a bit mystified why priests on this forum think their mobility is bad. My priest has a sprint on short CD with shield, and a second sprint from feather with 3 charges. Priests can sustain their sprint for a fairly long period. My priest is a dracthyr, but I hardly ever need to use Glide for extra speed since the uptime on the 2 priest sprints is so high.
- My priest has much better mobility than my mage, who has 2 blinks and then is done… no speed boosts at all.
- Priest speed seems not far off from my shaman, who can move quickly in ghost wolf form, but can’t cast while doing so.
Consistent static movement speed increases are nice and feel good when going long distances, but not as useful during mechanics. You can still be slowed/snared and not to mention outright rooted in place which Priests can’t really deal with easily. Not to mention it’s only a 40% speed increase and Angelic Feather doesn’t stack together with Body and Soul.
What most other classes have that we don’t are displacement type abilities. Like Blink, Disengage, Warlock portals, Monk rolls and portals, Shadowstep on Rogue, Wild Charge on Druid etc. Classes meant to be slow and tanky like the plate classes actually aren’t— Warriors obviously are extremely mobile and have been for a long time, and Paladins and DKs have sturdiness and survivability as well as increased movement options or outright knockback negation effects.
Priests are cloth wearers, and we still move like we’re playing an expansion from ages ago in comparison to the many utilities every other class has been blessed with. Even the Evoker ability Time Spiral only grants Priests another use of Leap of Faith… to pull an ally twice for whatever reason?? Because we literally have nothing. Really sad stuff.
By the way, your Shaman has access to Gust of Wind (and also Spirit Walk for root/snare removal and a 60% movement speed increase), and also Spiritwalker’s Grace to cast while moving.

Lols yes im leveling a disc oracle with the event boost and loving the visuals and mechanics…but especially coming from a chrono evoker…yikes. when quick or unexpected movement is needed…theres nothing but the tiny bump from feathers.
Cant imagine what a pain in the but this will be once i start doing harder stuff.
I did and the movement is so much better especially in mythic!

Imagine the frustration I feel when seeing players like you with such love for the class being forced to PAY for a class change due to Blizzard’s negligence.
Without my braids, I wouldn’t be Glorybraids. So na I’ll pass

We don’t have a sprint at all. We have a nice jogging speed which we can, yes, use for a comparative marathon.
But while your mage can blink away from, for example, the ara kara second bosses’s charge, good luck ever jogging out of it.
That’s why we say we have bad mobility.

Amen this 100 percent. And you can get 2 charges of blink which feels infinitely better.
I would rather have feather do some blink like effect and only 1 charge compared with what we have
