Hi all,
The Scarab Lord Mount, as of a recent patch, was probably hit by accident by some change, that made it go from a cool special mount, to a complete gimmick.
The Scarab Lord mount has always been “castable” in combat, meaning that you could get the spell bar for casting the mount up, even in combat. You would however only mount up, if you had left combat upon the cast being complete.
Now with the recent changes, if we mount in combat, and REMAIN in combat, when the mount has been succesfully cast, we get A 3 SECOND COOLDOWN on the mount, despite not getting mounted. This is a HUGE nerf to the viability of the mount, to a point where it’s so unreliable compared to normal mounts.
Please fix it - it’s kind of a joke, to leave such a prestigious achievement unusable.
meanwhile be a paladin who did the class mount quest.
mount is on GCD
if you get counterspelled/kicked during the cast of the mount you get locked out of ur only school of magic
and it costs mana to use

I understand the frustration that must bring, but as it took 20 people several days in a heavily contested PVP area on a high populated server with just a single reset to finish the quest, surely should allow for the reward to be somewhat relevant.
is this an actual WoW version of 1st world problems?

Who cares. Classic is Death.

Quite possibly - doesn’t change the fact that it’s a slap in the face for people who obviously have cared quite a bit about the game.

It’s pretty (un)dead in naxx indeed.
You or the dozens of slaves who worked for you?

Careful not to get cut by that edge son.
depends purely on the arcanite price, I paid overall 1016 G for the paladin mount
You got multiple rewards for doing that quest chain including an unique looking mount that many don’t have and a title come TBC.
but as it took 20 people several days in a heavily contested PVP area on a high populated server
Is this the point in Classic and going into TBC when Scarab Lords start telling people they didn’t form coalitions with the opposite faction to lock down Hives as well as other shady tactics.
The mount is still usable just not in the way you want it to be.
Seems to me like you are a bit worried that you won’t be getting that arena advantage come TBC.

He prob suck at PvP anyways haha.
Huge problem…huge problem man.
honestly 95% of pvpers suck at pvp myself included.
“guys the mount i colluded with the opposite faction and no-lifed for is no longer giving me an unfair advantage pls feel bad for me”
schadenfreude man.
that mount is a big mark of shame these days.
its a fact that everyone who has one was doing some downright underhanded things in order to obtain it.
- like having their guilds mass reporting other players who were going for it, for cheating, in hopes of getting them banned to eliminate the competition.
- silencing people in the LFG chat via mass reporting thus eliminating their chance to find carapace farm groups. some people even had their characters online for days to get the admin rights for the world chat, and then ruthlessly banned anyone who so much as mentioned the words “Silithus” or “Scarab”.
- shameless collusion with the opposite faction, cutting deals in secret discords to make sure other people on the scarab lord quest from your faction would be camped 24/7 by a team of gankers.
yeah sorry, but its very hard to feel sympathy for anyone who cries about scarab lord mount not ‘working as intended’ when these are some of the things people have done to obtain them.

Yeah was just checking it and you’re correct. Well you can still do the same thing, you just gota make sure you dont miss that mount up not to get the 3s cooldown. But as long as you dont miss it you can still mount up in combat and get mounted 3s faster. You just gota me more precise doing it at the moment. Hope its a bug and gets fixed tough
