Hi there! I’m a casual Paladin player, I play it as an alt mainly. One of the biggest turnoffs for me is the Divine Steed ability. I think it’s really lame to have a mobility spell that has you mount up for a few seconds. Now, I know that there are probably lots of people who think this is amazing. I’m not asking it to be removed or changed. What I would very much like to see is for Blizzard to add a glyph to the game that allows Paladins to change their Divine Steed ability to instead have the appearance of the old Speed of Light spell. This would allow players like me who feel really turned off by this ability to play the class and still feel awesome, while retaining the appearance and feel of the ability for those who love it.
I think this would a very minor addition to the game that Blizzard could easily pull off, that would make me and probably plenty of other players very happy. With Shadowlands on the horizon, it feels like now is the perfect time to ask for it. I look forward to reading your replies!
DK Wraith Walk was levitating by default in Legion, and you could get stuck in weird places and also be disadvantaged by being unable to jump. So while it would be a cool solution, it would also be a downgrade.
You can jump while levitating now. Look at Priests, they can levitate and they can jump during it. So, it’s not a problem anymore. Either way, I hate the horse. I want the option to not have its visual animation.
Some people complained about it when it was on the PTR. They said they were having FPS instability issues. So, Blizzard removed it. They could’ve made a glyph out of it and made the animation be visible to people who uses the glyph instead of removing it entirely.
They fixed it before the patch came out (or so i have been told and i never had that problem myself) And it was not a problem when the NPCs on the first fight in Battle for Dazar’alor used it.
I like the idea of a speed of light glyph, its not big deal and people could use whatever they prefer more.
Only downside is that people with Speed of Light glyph would have a slightly advantage when entereing or leaving buildings since the divine steed is larger.
Maybe just keep the “hitbox” like it would be without the steed.
