Level 20's Can Use Mount Equipment

Hitting level 100 on one character will unlock this system. Once unlocked, the system will be available to all characters, and the equipment pieces themselves will require level 20. If your goal is to have waterwalking while leveling, you can just enable the waterwalking Mount Equipment (there will be one available via Anglers reputation that will be bind-on-account), and it’ll work exactly as before, with the benefit of making all of that character’s mounts walk on water.

In case you were crying about no more waterwalking during leveling.

Cool. Good to know we won't have to all using the Water Strider mount indefinitely in this game.

[Fayenoor]

Yes, but it will cost a lot of gold. Investing so much gold on every alt when a simple Waterstrider would have served cheaper purposes seems to be a lame gold sink. With so many allied races and the desire to level them to unlock their heritage, the gold cost will start piling up quickly.

I think the mount bardings should be account bound mods on a mount.

do you want water walking or daze protection? you cant have both

Daze protection will save you a hell of a lot more time than the rare instances of where you want or need waterwalking.

Good change, but water walking is used so rarely when leveling 1-60 that it didn't really matter.

The equipment is account bound

Daze protection with the waterstrider. Bingo.

Waterstriders still work like they used to... right?

As a tank, I don't really get much daze but for non-tanks, daze protection!

They dont, they are removing its effect.
However everyone that owns the mount will get the water walking equipment mailed to them for free.

[TigTone]

Time to farm timewalking for that waterwalking buffff, and daze with flying equal god. Wait these work with flying mounts to right?

[Canderous1]

are they removing the crafting stirrups and barding?

How hard can it be to have a different mount on the action bar

Play a shaman or DK and you will always have 1 mount with 2 benefits as they have water walking by default.

Fuck.

Still. A small price to pay for removing dazed. My main has the fishing rod that gives speed while swimming, that’ll have to be enough.

Water strider mount is being nerfed in 8.2

So only DKs and Shaman will be able to effectively use dazed protection with water walking as these classes have it by default.

[Raetary]

Seems pretty stupid. Just make more mounts that have “waterwalking”. This is easily done by enabling it for flying mounts, as they should clearly be able to fly over water anyway.

The entire point of this feature is for us to not be bound to certain mounts because of advantages.

Just making more water walking mounts isnt gonna fix that.

They showcased it with 1g sell price, so thats a 4g buy price on neutral, 3g 20s on exalted.

Get an azerite piece with prydaz on or get your hands on oppulence tank trinket and you have a perma shield that protects you from daze.

Just use an underwater mount, Works almost as well as the waterstrider

I'd like to see some of my other mounts, not the waterstrider bug.
