Switch flight style sucks for druids

Classes Druid
1

This spell is the worst thing ever to be added to WoW for druids.

  1. We have lost the ability to dismount from a “dynamic flying” mount and instantly cast flight form to carry on flying in “BC flying” mode. EDIT: i have heard a lot of people say “Why should you be able to, no other class can do this and it gives you an advantage”. Why shouldnt we? We are druids after all and the ability to instantly cast flight form has been with us right from the start.
  2. This spell makes stag and cheetah and all ground mount forms useless. Yes sometimes I enjoyed running around the dragon isles in cheetah form when “BC flying” wasn’t active, now i can’t even use it with this spell active as “travel form” is now flying all the time when this spell is active? Does Blizz presume that all druids will use ONLY flight travel form?

Overall this spell has not been poorly designed for a complex class like druid and it needs a total rework.

To solve this:

Go back to pre Patch 7.0.3 before Travel form was merged with Flight form and make them seperate spells again. That way we can use flight form as for dynamic flight and if we want, cast a seperate spell for travel/cheetah/ground travel form

Same, this is absolutely horrible. Everyone hated this on beta, everyone hates it now. I dont get why this made to prepatch.

I share your thoughts. Either:

  1. Do not allow Skyriding in Flight Form (not ideal, but still better than current implementation)
  2. Implement two toggles for Skyriding: one for Flight Form, one for other mounts
  3. Keep the toggle tied to each mount (and flight form) instead of a general toggle

I agree I hate this new forced option.
Like it has been suggested in other forums, give us a glyph that makes flight form use the steady flight.
If people want to revert they can remove the glyph.

Once again, Druids lose one of their core abilities, one of the things that made has made Druids so fun and appealing to play since TBC. Awful decision from Blizzard :rage:

I actually copied this post over from the beta as soon as the retail servers opened (because it was obviously ignored on the beta one). I wasnt expecting everyone to hate it lol, obviously they do :smiley:

Its horrible, just make it the way that the flight form is a single spell. And lets us make the choice ourself.

  1. Flight Form old way
  2. Dragonriding old way but then on all mounts
  3. Option to put dragonriding on the flight form if we want to

Now we cant levitate anymore and the 5 sec cast is wayyyyyyy toooo long!

A separate toggle for flight form and mounted flying flight modes would be great. I really hope they implement this before too long.

Yes, exactly this. I hate having lost my ability to use instant druid flight form to hover and other mounts for speed traveling. What was the point of this change? It took away the most fun benefit of being a druid.

Greetings dear developers of world of warcraft (hopefully you’re paying attention), this post is pointing out my issue as well as the comments above.
On the other hand the body animations of Evoker (a very slim figure) doesn’t fit the body figue of class hall druid flight form…
Thank you for your concerns.
