The current selection of MEs we have are quite lackluster and uninspired.
If you have waterwalking unlocked, that is all you really find yourself using.
What equipment would they need to add to get you to swap?
For me, it would be anti-gravity barding, allowing non-flying mounts to become flying mounts.
Why not just have everything fly, I question. Mooses fly, foxes fly, horses fly, cats fly.
I honestly can’t think of anything that’d make me switch. Not because I find the waterwalking to be super useful but because the system is so redundant that I often forget it even exists.
honestly, i only slapped that water walking thing from my azure strider on a mount because i could and totally forgot about it.
ever since i got flying i never really bothered with it again and this wont change as long as they dont implement something actually useful for flying mounts, which most likely wont happen ever anyways.
I took the one with which you can’t be dismounted when you are on the mount, that’s the ability which I wanted the most, and it helped me lots in Nazjantar untill I gained the ability to fly, and its still good tbh, now even when I get hit by mobs by any chance I can’t be dismounted anymore.
I’d love to see some combat abilities for mounts. For example, if you press the Rylak’s (any Rylak) ability mid-flight, it causes him to perform a barrel roll and dodge the next attack within 4 seconds (works for net-o-matics as well).
Kodo’s special ability increases your physical and magical mitigation by 15% for a few seconds.
Horses can leap similar to the Druid travel form.
Just as examples. So not only do you have the ME’s, but every mount type has its own special ability.
But yeah, when it comes to equipment I generally stick with the water walking. For me, it’s the only one that really comes in handy at times like before you unlock flying or inside a few dungeons that have water to cross.
Thank Elune, Lich King and others, but sometimes it feels good to be death knight - have both mount speed and waterwalking, so I can not equip anything at all !
But as long as my alts do Boralus dungeon in any shape or form I must have waterwalking in there since I play alliance and I have to walk across water.
Don’t know, but one permanent change I’d like is for flying mounts to be able to glide in areas where flying isn’t allowed. Makes no sense for them to suddenly forget that they can at least do that.
This is best equipment for me while not playing tank, being dismounted while being chased by 10 mobs and dying in consequence is more frustrating than swimming
AH prices are idiotic though, while useful it is not account bound item, crafting > selling is like 10:1 profit for crafter, selling Inflatable Mount Shoes for 7k is just a scam.
It’s not about that, putting those items for such high price (while not illegal) is just exploitation of buyers. 1k would be enough, why everybody is thinking that money is so easy to get these times? it’s not legion anymore, getting 50k per week without being AH Baron is almost impossible. How people who can play 2hrs a day can buy such overpriced items? (Don’t tell me buy tokens, because it’s not fix, spending more money than is needed to get advantage is just a Pay2Win)
Would be cool if they made cosmetic saddles too. So we can get coloured auras etc on our mounts. Or aura trails flying behind the mount. Would make a little more handy for people who’re into eyecandy.
