The NPC dragons are flying. It’s quite a slap in the face. It would just be like a druid flying, really don’t see the issue with us being our own flying mounts. Blizz makes odd decisions.
I can understand if it’s just regular 310% flying, like normal flying mounts. Though you wouldn’t be able to fly in DF with that, as it’d be locked like Druid flight form at the start.
But I really don’t think they will make the Soar into a permeant thing without cooldown (at least not at the start of DF). As it’s a light version of Dragon riding, and they probably would want evokers using Soar over that feature, or give them any huge advantages over other races.
