May I ask, if this has been confirmed? I’m only asking because the little promo video only showed the equipment being crafted (or on the AH).
Thank you.

It will be both. The people who farmed the rep will be able to buy them for 40g from anglers quartermaster. Crafted one will be market driven, and I’m going to guess cost thousands since it uses both old mats form this expac and the mats from the new areas.

They could have just made the Water Strider keep its water walking but not be affected by mount equipment (Like the sky golem). That way people who hate the Water Strider have the option to use mount equipment and never see it again, those that want to keep using the water strider to walk on water can still use it, and those that never got the water strider can now walk on water. All parties are happy.

They aren’t catering to anyone but themselves. Specifically their idea that making everything take longer for you like:
RNG gearing in both pve and pvp
removing ML
dazing
excessive vertical pathing
keeping you grounded(pathfinder)
illogical mob placement(what ever happened to using roads to avoid mobs?)
Is a measure of success.
It’s no mystery. Every single expansion, and every single patch, they introduce one little thing that will make your tasks take just a tiny bit longer. Gotta fool those stockholders somehow. “Oh look! Their average time played per session went up 2 minutes! We are teh awesome!!”

Blizzard does not seem to care for players anymore. I think Lore summed up Blizzards feelings toward players quite nicely. They have been pruning abilities and any thing else they can from players since WoD. And they expect us to believe them when the say “we Hear you classes will be fixed in 9.0” . They don’t hear us at all, they just see their pocketbook getting smaller from all the players they are driving away and are trying to get some people back.

What you don’t understand is that this is the doorway to preventing you from using water(through the water strider) to dodge their excessive obstacles in the future. They will be locked behind profession items/recipes in the future at any time they choose. Maybe you like excessive dazing?
Do you only look at the shiny thing in front of your face?

How many times do we have to say this, you earned the ability to have water walking whenever you want. You just go to the anglers, stack up on waterwalking gear (That’s like, 40 gold a piece) and then put it in your bank and use it whenever you need to.

But they already stated they are taking water walking away from those classes.
seems like everyone is forgetting hunters who can also freely walk on water.

They get their participation trophy, that’s all they see and care about.

My favorite thing in the world is to waste my time earning an item with a specific ability for Blizz to take it away and then charge me to have it. I can’t wait until some car manufacturer installs a coin operated gear selection so I can move in forward or reverse at 40 bucks a time, even though I paid for a fully functional vehicle.

It’s no wonder why they left the Sky Golem alone. It was primarily used for herbing. It was way more common than the strider yet why was it left alone? Because it didn’t serve as a workaround to their obstacles. “Oh no, the water strider was actually used for it’s intended purpose. Time to nerf it to being meaningless.”
The new system is subpar to the old way yet people want to pretend like it is an improvement.

If you mean that they are taking water walking away from death knights and shaman, id say you are lying. if you mean they are taking away water walking from other classes, id say you are ignorant since water walking will be even more accessible with the water walking shoes.
You can only carry 1 at a time now. So after you use it you’re sol until you go back to pandaland and get another.

I think it would make better sense to have this feature per mount and not mount wide ![:frowning:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/frowning.png?v=6" ":frowning:")

Are you sure? Here’s what the tool tip says: Equip in your mount equipment slot to allow you to walk across water while mounted. Any damage will cancel the effect. Does not work in Battlegrounds or Arenas.
There’s nothing that says you can’t stock up on them.
I honestly think that this is just their way of finally getting rid of water walking.
They will make it so the second your mount is touched it will dismount you, making it so you have to use some daze mechanic, and can’t use water walking.
It’s been a craw in their behinds ever since they designed Suramar and wanted it gone.

they don’t want people having 3 mounts each with their own affect. then they wouldn’t have to go get more. it’s a gold sink.
