How does that stack with the mounted speed buff from pathfinder 1? Or is pathfinder 1 buff already negated by the class and guild perks? (I certainly never noticed any difference before and after.)
Nuff saidâŚ

Pretty certain it stacks with BFA Pathfinder the same way that DK/pally/maghar speed boost does.
ETA: they do stack. I still presume that [Light-step Hoofplates] and [Open Skies], [On a Pale Horse] and [Heart of the Crusader] or whatever the paladin buff is are redundant to each other.
Yay 13 days later and we are STILL not happy about this change!
Blizzard wantâs us trapped with one meaningful choice at a time, They want to make a gold sink and they want to slow us down to artificially enlarge the game. I GET IT. I GET what they are trying to do. I just wish THEY WOULD GET IT when we tell them THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT WAY! (sigh) I require cake.

Having given this more thought, there really are other things Blizz could do to get the same effect without messing anything up. They could create longer-lasting water-walking potions, for example, which alchemists could make and sell on the AH. Instead of lasting 10 min, they could last 8 hrs or more. Combined with the barding we have now, that covers everything one could want mount equipment slots for and negates the need for them.
If Blizz really wants to improve mounts, give all the flying mounts the ability to glide when in no-fly zones. Thatâs what Iâd like to see.

Simply making the equipment on a by-mount basis, and making it account-wide would alleviate so many issues while at the same time giving players agency and choice over the mounts they choose to do whatever function is available via equipment.

No. They are using that as the âreasonâ but in reality they know that only ~50% of players even have a strider and that they arenât used nearly as often as they are claiming.
They are doing this because they tried to make the Azure Strider only usable in Panda Land and the Crimson one only usable on Draenor only to have the same kind of backlash they got when they tried to remove flight.
This is their way of saying âweâre getting what we want no matter whatâ just like Pathfinder was.
They are hoping we will all equip no-daze or slow fall or some other equipment and not use WW at all, which was their intention to begin with⌠No WW at all.

Hypthetical âWaah!! BUTâŚâ ⌠"Then people would use the flying mounts ALL the time and the ground mounts would get no love, and waah waaaaahâŚ
What Iâd do is:
All flying mounts have slow-fall in no-fly areas.
All âArmoredâ ground mounts have no-daze protection.
All ânon-armoredâ regular ground mounts have 20% Ground Speed Boost that stacks with ANYTHING
All water mounts, swimming striding, mounts that look like they have water in their theme (marsh wallows, turtles, frogs, etc) ⌠ALL can travel ON or IN water at +20% regular ground speed. They get no speed boost on land.
Solved and done.

And here we have yet another example of a more creative solution than what Blizzard is instituting. Itâs a pity no one from Blizzard will read it.

Soon there will be minor mount equipment:
Gathering
Commune with mount making you into your mount so someone can ride you.
Vender kitten - Keep a tiny kitten vender on the back of your mount at all times.
All of which will destroy even more mount abilitiesâŚmuahhaahahahhaahahah
Can I work at Blizzard now? I want a paycheck.

Me neither. If you think about the last 3 xpacs, the majority of the questing are in areas that donât really have a ton of water to cross.
WOD only really had Talador and one river in shadowmoon, so the only time it would be used was if you wanted to try crossing the ocean from one zone to the next.
Legion also really didnât have zones where the strider had to be used a lot. I used tons of goblin gliders in Stormheim Highmountan, and gliding to Suramar. The only time I needed the strider was when there were quests out in the water in Suramar, or crossing some of the rivers in the other 2 zones.
BFA, on the horde side, you only need it for Nazmire, and there is actually a pretty easy land path that doesnât have too many mobs, so youâre not stuck to it. on the Alliance side, you really only need the strider to cross the bay and some of the streams, but again there are routes you can take if you âhate the bugâ
Wonder why they donât feel the same about the under water mounts, or the sky golem ![:thinking:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/thinking.png?v=6" ":thinking:")

Give it time, with the sky golem keeping itâs anti-daze it will soon become the go to mount for land, and then we will be using the wrong anti-daze mount. And they will nerf it. As for under water mounts I donât doubt we are somehow using them wrong and become so OP they will make it mount equipment, since mammoths can now walk on water they should be able to hold their breath and swim also.

If they have anti-daze protection while on a sky golem then itâs probably because they have the âResounding Protectionâ azerite trait on one of their pieces of gear.
Pretty sure that mount has no special daze/dismount protection at all, and (obv) wouldnât get it from mount equipment either.
Because they only travel at 160% jogging speed or something. Itâs pretty slow compared to the 220%-ish regular ground speed (with mount up+bfa pathfiner)

This. Never quite thought of it that way but it is exactly right on.

I believe youâre right, so scratch what i said. I was wrong about golem having anti daze. Either way they still have no reason to nerf the water strider. They want us to do pathfinder to appreciate and experience their hard work but they donât appreciate the work I did during MoP getting the water strider. My self I will probably just put in anti daze, use goblin gliders and water walking potions and completely forget about mount equipment. Itâs not that I donât âappreciateâ the time and work you put into the mount equipment, Iâm just going to treat it like you treated my time and work getting the water strider and not care.

Blizzard is not being âsillyâ. They are being sneaky and trying to convince you the mount equipment is âbetterâ. Which is not true. On the PTR the strider with equipment does not work the same way as live.
This mount equipment will not work in the next expansion. You will need ânewâ mount equipment. The tool tip will be changed to âonly works up to level 120â. Anyone who thinks this will not happen is kidding themselves. Blizzard has done this type of thing time and time again.
Why does it matter what mount I use. And tough s h i t if someone didnât bother to get a strider.
Iâm extremely irked that something that I put in the time to get while it was current content is being taken away.
I earned it and want it to stay a WATER WALKING mount which is the entire reason I put in the time and gold in to get.
Leave it as it is in on live WITHOUT an equipment slot.
If not then Iâd like ATOC removed or just give it to me or let me buy it because I donât have it for every raid and I feel slighted. After all, doesnât everyone get the same d a m n trophy? /s
Blizzard is conning you with this fantastic new equipment. This is only being done to slow the game down in the future.

Iâve done some poking around on other forums to see what people think about the impending strider nerf, and overwhelmingly, the feedback is negative. Sure, there are a few trolls and Blizzard employee sockpuppets that weigh in about how great itâs going to be, but for the most part, people are not happy about this.
And most players donât even have a clue yet that this is coming. Once this goes live, these forums (and others) are going to be a fecal storm.
