Okay when you cast soar you gain a free “Skyward Ascent” and I will be honest I like soar for this reason, but can Soar please not be a 10 second cooldown?
Also when you get moved by things like Windswept herbs, it knocks you out of soar mode. Why?
Please consider changing and fixing, thanks.
Can we also be able to land?
It’s a bummer we can’t use soar for herb/mining even with the “collect while mounted” talents unlocked.
Why can’t it just be a stance? Worgen do it with running wild.
You’re not likely to get both of these things simultaneously.
The whole reason for the cd is to simulate the time it takes to get a vigor back, since you get a free ascent as you mentioned.
If this didn’t exist, you could essentially endlessly climb just by repeatedly activating soar.
Pleaase! Not getting knocked out of Soar when landing would be so nice ;_;
I’m pretty sure the cast time would prevent this
The cast time is the same as summoning any mount…
Yeah, meaning you can’t spam it in the air to endlessly climb as you suggest. The cast time gets cancelled by moving or falling.
That’s not what I’m saying.
I’m saying if you can continually launch and land somewhere above, your can continuously climb regardless of vigor.
I have tried out Druid flight form Skyriding and it works like how I wish soar worked. While on ground and not in combat they just hover above the ground but they can launch right back up. It is nice.
This would be delightful.
I still have my #hopium / #copium that they are gathering many Draktyr specific things for the first minor patch of TWW where they’ll improve soar (combining hover as a ground mount and soar to work together like druid form), rework some talents and give us more visage options (all races, visage only during combat).
The alternative would be that they just dont care and we wont get any improvements, ever.
Why do they have a 10 second cooldown on the static version of Soar? That’s what’s bugging me.
If I’m roleplaying in my mind while questing, I just tell myself that my character is readying his wings before slow flying again. But I don’t think such a thing should be necessary. There is NO benefit of using static soar over a mount, so there should not be a 10 second cooldown.
Edit: I’m referring to Beta btw
Yeah I don’t have a good answer for this one, lol.
That’s hardly an advantage.
No more so than druids being able to instant cast their flight form for the last 2 decades.
Besides, if druids get insta cast dragon riding forms (which they probably will) this point is moot
They do in beta
But why are we still comparing racials to class abilities like they’re the same thing (and for that matter, like there is any information suggesting that we would/should get parity with druid flight in any way)?
Racials aren’t intended to be as strong or stronger than abilities that classes get.
Indeed, it’s why i was actually kinda disappointed hearing that Dracthyr were coming to other classes, because it all but confirms we won’t get better flying like Druids do. Despite the fact that we have our anatomy fully intact while flying, we can’t interact with things like druids can as birds lol.
