Nitro Boost + Goblin Glider = Broke?

[Hiddi]

nope still broke. same with blazing speed and slowfall.

[Nemimortus]

Seems like it was an intentional fix; Mages are having the same issues with slow fall and their blazing speed talent. Some clarification on the issue would be nice though

[gutnbrg]

i never understood these limits to tinkers and boost/slowfall mechanics....as a goblin mage I am unable to use slowfall and rocket jump at the same time, that annoys me too.

[Aleksej89]

I kinda hate this combination, because it is just un-counter-able if you can not permanently disable or burst the target to death.

If they did disable it, i am happy.

[Tripz]

I heard somewhere that using nitro boots and glider simultaneously was going to be changed. It was awhile back though...

I came here expecting another thread by Sandmoth, I was pleasantly surprised!

If this is true then It sucks, arent we engineers supposed to have fun with our gadgets anymore?
Or is this another casualty due to PVP-complaints?

[mistahwilshire]

I don't remember using boost with glider ever giving glider a movement speed increase. My memory is either failing me or I'm missing out on what the issue is. I'm an engineer and I use my boosts and glider basically on cooldown most of them time unless I'm doing something serious. I never thought the speed boost stacked.

[Verain]

I seem to be able to burst of speed -> glider, and sprint -> glider.

I'm curious about this tbh. I'm having to make a macro to cauncelaura boots -> glider (the same one on page 1), because like the rest of you, I often rocket boots off a cliff and then glider. This seems to still work ok with boots -> jump -> cancelaura + glider... It's possible that this nerf didn't accomplish what they wanted it to, and they may nerf harder (for instance, triggering a 10 second cooldown on floaty-effects).

I really don't know what the goal of the nerf was. Stop some BG exploit?

Can you give me an example, or better yet two, of what happened?

The boost seem to be malfunctioning alot more now aswell.

Why dont they add a 20g fee each time you click the tinker's as well? Because f*** engineering right?

[Deleted]

yep no fun allowed I hope its a bug tho

Onyxia deep breathes more?


I'll dismiss this as happenstance. But if you want to start adding:

Since the patch, I've pressed boots eight times that I can remember, and none have been malfunctions. Malfunctions tend to be memorable too. But, I'll start tracking a bit.

[Gorehowl]

hope its a bug, only reason ive kept engineering on my lock is boots and glider

[Vargur]

I don't recall seeing this in the patch notes, but Goblin Glider and Nitro Boost can no longer be used together. Or at least I can't use them. A friend also said Boost + Parachute was broken. Intended? Goof? What?

I run engineering on a few toons and it was mainly for that combo + glove tinker.

It wasn't OP in any way unless you call being able to run away OP, because it sure has got me out of some bad situations. But on the flip side of that, my mage who doesn't run engineering can accomplish the same thing with Blazing Speed and Slowfall.

What do you guys think?

So that's why I died a few times... Wonder how long until they fix this bug?

Like seriously... Engineering first world problems again. They hate us.

ITT a lot of people who never used Nitro+Glider combo in 5.2

It didn't work in 5.2...

Yes it did, our DK-tank did it all the time in our raids what are you talking about?

[Belloc]

I'd also like to mention in here that Rocket Belt is failing a lot more. Out of the 3 hours I played yesterday, they failed about half the time

I haven't noticed an increase in failures.

No it didn't. Also I like the fact that YOU didn't try it, just referring to some DK.

[Terahertz]

I don't think nitro boosts actually impact the speed of goblin glider. I think the goblin glider has a set speed of 450%/500% movement speed (seeing as it's faster than flying mounts).

[morfraen]

Yeah, it gives me a "Invalid target" error when I try to use them together.. No fun allowed.

Same, this is lame and needs to be fixed. I keep cratering. I very frequently nitro off a high place and pop the glider.

/cancleaura Nitro Boosts will solve your problem

Not when you're using ItemRack buttons instead of macro's.
