Water Strider

Likely me too, despite it being more awkward to use than water striders. My main will use his underlight angler instead just so he doesn’t have to dismount, even though it’s a little slower.

I’m amused that the tooltip on the [Anglers Fishing Raft] is self-contradictory:

Anglers Fishing Raft
Item Level 90
Binds when picked up
Toy

Use: You can raft across water. Requires Revered with The Anglers and a Fishing skill of 525.
Requires Pandaria Fishing (1)
Requires The Anglers - Revered
“Great for fishing, but takes on water… so don’t stay out too long!”

Is that argument for real?, like come on dude… let’s then stop fabricating knives because no-one explained to people they could cut themselves…

Knives were never sharp until one day they were? Is that the analogy you want to go with? Try again.

Honestly, it’s not worth it, if you are going to resort to arguments like:

And pretend that’s actually an issue then be extremely obtuse about it, there’s no point in even arguing.

Spoken like someone who doesn’t have a counter argument. Concession accepted.

Sure, can’t wait for all the complains about players dying to fall damage because they didn’t consider this, I’m sure they will be flooding the forums soon.

Grrr…be warned .

It’s real happen to me using slowfall on the water strider in stormsong with 3sec to spare.

Almost as if some here DO fully comprehend, yet are trying their best to play ignorant

Y’all just mad that you won’t be able to run from pvp that easily.

Only if you have warmode on sorry no fish.

I understand completely,I want the water strider to remain the same because I worked to get through rep.grind not by tw tokens. And now ,we have to get one pair of free shoes for all of the grind and only one ,the rest we have to buy for the rest of our toons,it’s ridiculous.

Thats the other part of this crap “you get it mailed to you” excuse.
Yeah…for characters 100+ and ONCE.
As you say, when we want to change gear now we have to BUY it every stinking time.
It’d be ok if the gear were PER MOUNT where I can buy it once for the strider and leave it.
Well…actually no it wouldnt be ok since I did the grind as you did…the LONG way around…TWICE.
But at least with it per mount I could buy it ONCE and never again.

BLizzard didnt do this for OUR benefit.
They did it as yet another gold sink.
and some players are eating it up for the sole reason that they’ll be able to use that yak to walk on water instead of having to…gasp…take a second to fire up the strider.

The same players, no doubt, who keep telling me how little those removed portals affected MY time…yet they cant just push a key to change to a WW mount instead.

No, because it means WW equipment is useless. Imagine just taking 20% speed/anti-daze equipment and using WW when you need that…good logic there. The sky golem just picks flowers, nothing else that goes against equipments.

All of it affect people but some don’t see it because they haven’t experience it. I can see it now. Tuesday how many players wouldn’t know about complain they can’t water walk anymore.Plus,they’ll have to wait on those mount equipment to be made at the start of 8.2.

Last I heard (correct if wrong), the sky golem also has an antidaze/dismount built into it.

If true that most certainly DOES conflict with equipment, IN ADDITION to herbing while mounted.

I’m going to ride it into mobs right now and test if that’s true or false.

Is the gear crafted or a vendor item?

The antidazed,slowfall and hoof’s are all crafted equipment.

Let us know what happens, I’d love to know one way or the other.

For all I know some folks were talking outta their @$$ when they said it.
