can we PLEASE make Evokers flight like druid flight? recast timer, take off flight and not being able to go in to flight while falling? this makes LITERALLY no sense. Druids have to learn their form and still can do it, Dracthyr are BORN WITH WINGS yet they don’t know how to take off or start flying while falling. in what world did this make sense??

This would be nice.

Wish granted
How was the wish granted? if we are falling we can’t soar unless on the ground. Only option is glide to the ground then soar.
I support this request!

It also potentially causes issues in the Dawnbreaker instance if you use Evoker flight form. Had a guy die on the first boss while flying around to the ships because he hit something and it cancels the flight form I guess and makes you fall to your death.
It really should just be a mount form and not auto-cancel when you land either. They can just use the hover animation when landed and fly around at land mount speed.

hopefully it’s a reality soon!
we also dismount on ground… big qol fail
I’m hoping with other classes coming to dracthyr, they do a lot of changes with them.
I like the current animation where you just run really fast. Pretty rare to see it, but every now and then you’ll land and soar won’t cancel.
I want it to be so that in the open world, in your Dracthyr form, you can double jump to take off (rather than gliding) if you are out of combat and in a flight-enabled zone.
I do like that hitting Soar blasts you off into the air for free (without costing 1 vigor to take off) but I would happily trade it for passive Soar where you can fly anytime. With no cast time OR cooldown.
I wanted to add that I dislike how you are “dismounted” when you land in Soar. Makes it hard to mine while flying and such.

I love and agree with all this. It would be such a HUUUGE qol improvement and definitely more fun for travel.
There is already a rare bug where you land and remain in ‘flight’ form, and you can run around but you crouch down on one knee and your hands and it looks really quite cool. So, the mechanic is already in the game, somehow. All it needs is to be brought through to fruition.
I am not sure I Like the idea of instand take off - I kind of prefer the animation to superman jump and fly without cost of vigor.
Being able to go into flight while in freefall should ABSOLUTELY be added. I would FINALLY be able to fullfil my long-dreamed wow fantasy of base jumping. The feeling of running to the edge of a cliff and spider-man jumping off into flight is absolutely incredible.
That’s fine, you can choose to dismount and take off using soar instead. It’s just an option to leave us “mounted” in that form when we land.
When flying around in soar, you are technically mounted. All they have to do is disable auto dismounting when landing and use the hover/stationary classic flying to show we’re still in dragon riding.
If you wanted to launch yourself with soar, dismount and use soar! 
I would alternatively accept the ability to use some abilities while soaring. Like deep breath or living flame, rescue, wing flap, and finally a new evoker only flight ability that lets us abduct something and then drop it from high up JUST BECAUSE.
On a side note, it’s really nice being able to cast Emerald Communion while soaring as Pres.

I wouldn’t take anything over the ability to stay mounted on the ground. I end up just using my mounts instead of soar in every scenario outside of just flying around for fun. The ground movement speed is just too nice to have. Alternatively I can waste hover to get to places but i would rather not. Also mounted mining/herbing is just a godsend.
Staying in flight mode for mining and herb gathering would be nice as well.

The only reason I leveled my druid to level 80 first was because of flight form. I also agree that evokers should get soar instant cast. It would literally make this the best class in the game at the moment.
The healing difference between preservation and my resto druid is insane.
