Mount equipment *sigh*

[Eilykin-dalaran (Eilykin)]

I have to admit, I really really want Khadgar’s Dazzling Aura

[Zulnagh-hyjal]

9.0 mount equipment:

[Pommel of Shadows] - camouflages your mount making you harder to detect. (decreases agro range by 20%). Necessary to squeeze between mobs and obstacles.

[Stirrups of Readiness] - allows you to mount up while in combat (takes 2x as long), or 10% faster when not in combat. Necessary because you will be ‘stuck in comat’ all the time unless you can cast mage invisibility or hunter feign death.

[Itsy Bitsy Bridle] - Shrinks you and your mount by 50% so that you can fit through doors and tight spaces without having to manually dismount. Necessary because there’ll be paths with low trees that will block you all over the new zones.

[Van Degruff’s Insulated Hooves] - riding builds up an electrical charge over time that will shock and stun the next thing that dazes/dismounts you. Mutually assured dazing, because, well, you’re gonna get dazed a lot anyway, may as well retaliate in kind.

[Khadgar’s Dazzling Aura] - does nothing except add fancy special effects when you ride. Fel, arcane, fire, frost, water, dust, holy light, depending on the mount being used.

No more water walking, no more speed, no more no-daze or safe-fall. Just a new set of more-necessary-than-ever bandaids for new obstacles.

They designed the problem, created the cure, sold it.

This is the issue with WoW now days. This simple step they did here is what they’re doing in every dang aspect of WoW lately.

[Icyheart-khaz-modan]

Guess that’s what makes the difference. More thn 50% of the non-flying mounts I’ve seen was the strider before the change.

[Wolfsheart-moon-guard]

Water walking with any mount but the ugly bug is awesome finally can take that ugly thing off my bars for a better mount.

[Jops-zuljin]

If you hated it that much, why weren’t you using Elixir of Water Walking instead? They’re super cheap.

[Ankora-moon-guard]

Just waiting for better equipment. Can’t seem to find any info on what’s out there atm.

[Goregroth-hellscream]

More than 50%? C’mon man that’s an grossly exaggerating amount

[Raiyyn-area-52]

Guess that’s what makes the difference. More thn 50% of the non-flying mounts I’ve seen was the strider before the change.

Unless every single player who has a strider used the strider exclusively, your claim would be, quite literally, impossible considering that only 51.5% of the player base even has strider to use.

[Dunpeal-bleeding-hollow]

I hope this is untrue. If they remove water walking from these classes I would imagine a huge uproar and pretty big sub loss.

[Kaitee-the-venture-co]

You left out:

[Very Ordinary Old Iron Horse-Shoes] - all your (now evolved) mounts will suddenly regain the ability to walk!

Have fun dragging your droopy-winged dragons up the winding cliff tracks of Nazjatar, or through the dusty mech-bot packed alleys of Mechagon!

[Mossclaw-wyrmrest-accord (Mossclaw)]

They didn’t have to screw over my water-strider so that little Johnny role-player can make his Yak walk on water too

Don’t insult my playstyle. Yaks on the Bay is a PvE hurr-hurr thing, not an RPer thing. RPers value lore and world cohesion. You’re barking up the wrong tree.

[Jops-zuljin]

. If they remove water walking from these classes I would imagine a huge uproar and pretty big sub loss.

As if shaman and DK weren’t angry enough with their class tuning already!

[Nattydread-spirestone (Nattydread)]

Um no, probably a lot of people didn’t, regardless of if this person did or not, it doesn’t invalidate their criticism…

In fact posting now is even more important, given that Blizzard didn’t change their terrible course of action…they should know now more than ever they should change it

[Goregroth-hellscream]

What’s worse is now they are going to timegate the recipes for equipment in the next expansion.

[Xazul-hellscream]

Yeah.

I bet you everyone will eat it up to.

[Goregroth-hellscream]

Wow. That was a 10/10 crap post. Congratulations.

I’m assuming you’re the kind of player that just takes whatever crap dish you’re served and eats it without complaining. Nothing but a fanboy you are.

It’s mindsets likes yours that allows crap implemented into the game. Never speak up and ever accepting.

[Xanatas-hellscream]

I “liked” your post just so I could “unlike” it.

Great attitude guy

[Zulzamba-farstriders]

Thanks! If it’s a crap post, it certainly belongs in a crap thread like yours! lol Ooh an a quick judgement of my character too! Wow, Goregroth judged me, and found me lacking. It’s fine pal, but as far as crap eating goes, that’s all you’re achieving by complaining about things that either won’t change or that have not even occurred yet.

[Goregroth-hellscream]

The thing is… You never had to join the conversation to begin with. If you didn’t like it why TF did you chime in?

[Zulzamba-farstriders]

I’m bored, man. I’m waiting for this Daz scene to render and need to kill time. As soon as I saw Mount Equipment I thought, I wonder… and then I saw the “sigh” in the title and I thought, “Probably a train wreck” so like a calamity in real life my curiosity got to me and here I am.
