Knocback of flying mount. What you think about it?

[annerajb]

So what people think about this? i was flying around Wintergrasp and a Mage knocks me down.
I didn't died since i wasn't that high and i start healing myself while i run away from where i was (top of the elites in front of Wintergrasp keep).

and after running all the way to the horde flight path while healing myself with holy shock and FOL. i mount again and the mage comes around and does it again i land on the water and well he landed in front of a big angry elite guard .

I am the only person that is slightly irritated by the knock back spells while on a flying mount?

TL,DR:
What you think about Knock Back spells while on a flying mount?

I LOVE THUNDERSTORM

Annoying when it happens to you when you don't see it comming, but to kill others like outside Ulduar with Typhoon to knock them off mounts is fun :P

Personally I love using Thunderstorm in places like the Naxx summoning stone, and other various places. But being a shaman, its hard to air gank anywhere but Storm Peaks.

Though we DO have a person on our server whose made a Boomkin Engineer dedicated to knocking people off their mounts. Usually he follows them outside Dalaran and takes them off right away, or hes in Storm Peaks. Hes even got a guild dedicated to it, the Air Superiority Squadron, otherwise known as A.S.S.

Some people love him and think hes great, others can't stand him.
I think its kinda funny.

I only have one response to knockbacks dismounting people, friend, foe or myself....

[froman]

im pretty sure a ne druid can shadowmeld and recast flight form after dismounting someone allowing them to knock down higher targets. i cannot verify it because i was halfway to the ground before i looked up and saw a bird flying away...assumed it was him because i saw nobody else.

His strat for dismounting flying ppl is great.

Paladins have bubble
Druids have instant flight form
Priests have levitate
Mages have slow fall
Everyone else has that beverage item thing that gives you the slow which you buy with relics of ulduar fall effect and / or noggenfoger elixir.
Bubble and the levitate beer have a cooldown but if you get hit by a dismount twice you deserve it anyway.

Or you take your face off of the Divine Storm bind keyboard and look at whether there's an elemental at the bridge near the flag.

[Necrotan]

Cuz doing stuff with the intent of hurting others game experience is fun, am I right?

Win.

[Chronicle]

The most annoying spell castable on you while mounted is Nagrand's shadow elementals' grasp spell, no idea what it's called.

Nowadays, it's known as the abomininations' hook spell.

It dismounts you, and pulls you to a mob... SO ANNOYING WHEN YOU'RE GOING AWAY FROM THAT FRIGGIN MOB

[zorg]

hell TS is worth using even if you know you gonna fall to YOUR death just to take someone out :P

nothing wrong with it move along

too funny, will have to try

[Doddilus]

You shouldn't get HK's for falling deaths
You shouldn't be dismounted from knockbacks
TS shouldn't knock you back 500 feet, it should have been nerfed to blast wave and typhoon's distance, not the other way around

[Aldun]

Is there any hunter ability, engineer item or a non-class/profession specific item to dismount people /QQ?

[Soyuz]

I think that every class needs a knock back ability!
Paladins: some kind of hammer toss.
Warriors: a shout.
Priests: some kind of holy energy build up. (one stack --> BOOM!)
Hunters: a powerful shot (think of a flying boxing glove)
etc.

And yes knock backs should dismount you, after all, you target the character, not the poor animal he/she is riding!
