This QoL change would absolve Blizzard of their sins

[Trollfat]

Make Water Walking usable while mounted.

This is a simple thing that I hadn't really noticed until WoD, being stuck without flying and all. Having to dismount almost makes the spell not worth it to cast.

There's not really much to discuss here. It would just make the game more enjoyable for everyone (we can cast it on others). Blizz, just make it happen.

U know that flying is coming back and there is mount that can walk on water right?

Yes. I'm not a fan of the water strider, and don't want to feel like I have to use it. Especially if my class has a spell called "water walking".

[Sezerek]

But it is called "Water Walking", not "Water mounting"

[Sinndra]

sooooo, you want to be homogenized with DK's and path of frost?

[hulkgor]

Sigh...

Water Strider.

[Lamora]

I just use the ghost wolf with the speedy glyph and the waterwalking when you go into ghost wolf glyph. Problem solved.
Edit: (Glyph of the Lakestrider and Glyph of Ghostly Speed if you want the proper names)

So you're saying my spirit wolves can walk on water but my spirit wolf mount can't?

[Socialhealer]

yes please, i'll also take mass grip while im there to combo with thunderstorm :P

[Trollfat]

First of all, water walking was in the game first. Path of Frost is a homogenization of water walking, not the other way around. Second, PoF is an aura, WW is a single target ability.

Yes, why haven't we thought of this already? This should solve everything!

If you play shaman long enough, you learn to take what you can get lol

[Hey There Guys its Metro]

This specific opinion and your willingness to damn Blizzard because you personally aren't happy is the reason the game is suffering so wildly right now.
Keep your self entitled non-sense to yourself. If you think Blizzard has "sinned" so gravely then quit the game and stop making threads about it.
No wonder nothing can get done for this game. People think water walking on mounts fixes everything.
I used to wonder in amazement what it must be like to be a developer for Blizzard but now I wouldn't wish that fate on my worst enemy.

you are right. which being the case, means that PoF is an evolvement of WW. you are not stisfied with your version of mobility since DK's have something you perceive to be superior, therefore you want your class ability to become homogenized with DK's to include what their version of the spell can do.

got it.

CLASS HOMOGENATION FOR ALL!

because that has worked well so far. /sarcasm.

im sorry, i get it. you feel slighted in some way because the class you chose first, got 'one-upped' by evolved spells for other classes. its difficult to reduce class homogenation while giving them something similar to other classes. however, if getting jealous of the newer spell and calling for a lesser spell to be equalized happens too often, then we get boring classes that have lost their niche and uniqueness.

furthermore, classes cant all be OP in all situations. somebody has to be 'UP' as a base to judge what is considered OP.

i think having desire for these evolved class spells can be a driving force behind why people might try said class out. of course there can be many reasons for this and its not limited to what i just said.

the point im really getting at, is even though you want an evolvement for your class spell, at least acknowledge what might happen in the process: coming one step closer to class homogenation. is that something you or the community really wants as a whole? i know i dont, but im sure others do.

[bryroo]

So someone suggested casting water walking while mounted and it didn't even reach half the thread before equated that with class homogenation and ruining the game?

Jesus christ people.

[wordup]

The obvious solution is to allow us to only use water walking when we have RP walking turned on; for maximum immersion.

[ablib]

And here I thought Blizzard already hit the win button and made everyone happy with the water strider -- then I realize the mindset that makes up the video game community.

I dislike the water strider as well. I even hate it. But when I hit a body of water that I need to walk on, I'm more than happy to take the extra 1.5 seconds to switch to my water strider.

Wow, you got all of that just from my thread title? A few things:
1) I am not unhappy with the game. I am subbed, and excited for 6.2.
2) The game is suffering because of the 3 million sub losses, of which I am not a part of.
3) This is a public forum where people express opinions. If you can't handle that, then GTFO.

Yea this is a public forum where people express opinions...If you cant handle ppl saying your opinion sucks maybe you should take your own advice.

[woopytywoop]

I use fast ghost glyph + water ghost wolf which is instant and has more or less the same effect...

and lol at all those hostile comments... it's easier to not write anything than writing essays or just being ignorant.
