Mount cast whilst moving?

[Athor]

As simple as it sounds, what do people think of allowing the 1.5 second casting of your mount or worgen getting to ready to go on all fours, can be cast whilst running, similar to fire mage scorch and shamans on beta, i cant think of any reason why this would be unfair or imbalanced. Feels more natural to me then sitting still then on mount, ever watched a movie where the hero just slowly gets on mount middle of battle when hes chasing someone, rather then running then jumping on it?

Any complaints as why would this be bad, obviously with reasons, or suggestions?

edited so people understand i dont mean instant cast

No, if this is done, buff druid flight form

Instant mounting abilities would be very lame in arena.
Would be ok if they just remove mounts from arena, this should've happend a long time ago imho.

No, Nerf druid flight form its already OP when it comes to shit like Gathering.

Wut? Druid flight form already can do that, so why would it need to be buffed? To stay superior?

flight form is instant and prevents polymorph.
also.. nerf: shadowmeld -> flight form

I can't possibly understand why you think people mounting while running away would be a good idea.

I can, it will be very lame in arena/world pvp running away while mounting... Arena would be a mount-chase game.

Duh, that's the point of rolling a drooid, lol j/k

We can make it so that whilst casting you move at walking pace, but you forgot both players, as in the chaser and the chased, will be allowed to move whilst mounted

Sorry you would need to explain, because first i dont think you understood there would be a cast time, second that every player would have access to casting whilst moving

Why?

Why mount on the run?

Sure heroes sometimes do it in movies. It is far more common for them to mount a stationary horse though.

Mount in arenas while running? You can't mount in combat. I can't see how this would really effect anything....besides being able to well...mount up before some one reaches you....but we can basically already do that.

I'm sorry but your saying its a bad idea because its not realistic? :/ No, no I'm sorry but this is WoW. Realism and sense does not apply!

EDIT: Everyone seems to think the OP said that he wants us to be able to mount in combat. I don't see anything like that in there.

Broomstick mount ... does this, and I have one stored in a pumpkin read for use on release of cataclysm

Nope. Didn't mention realism at all.

Ah my mistake then. So long as you still can't do it in combat and there's still a cast time I'm fine with it.

[The Doctor]

i like the idea of casting a mount while moving. but it should be applied to EVERYONE

That was my point, arena would be turned into a game where people chase eachother on mounts, and some classes have faster mountspeed then others, see where I'm going?

I know you can't mount in combat, but i can think of many situations where it would be lame. Example warrior running to you just about in charge range and you run around pilar while casting mount and kite him 24/7 on mount, yes he can mount aswell but if both go evenly fast it would be whoever drags eachother in a corner first, or classes with faster mountspeed would be seen as "OP".

i agree with this
