Fellow druids: Do you ever use your traditional mounts?

[cparle87]

I recently turned one of my priests into a Druid (because I enjoy playing solo more these days) and I can fully express the concept and aesthetic I want through transmog and combat forms, but man... the battle between the functional superiority and aesthetic limitation of travel form is such a drag!

Do any of you ever say “screw it, this character rides X” with your druids? It’s such a temptation for me!

Yes. Mounts are 10% faster and with equipment you can't be dazed. Use mounts whenever I'm going any kind of distance or through mobs.

[Dastreus]

Bird form for flight (raven is guuud), cat mount on ground like a good nelf.

[Devilyaki]

Mount up to sell stuff to the yak does that count?

[Omedon]

Yes. Mounts are 10% faster

Is this still true? I haven’t seen numbers on the UI for mount speeds in so long! I could have sworn they brought mounts in line with riding skill, fully!

If I’m wrong, I’ll feel less dumb using my blood red vampire bat on my Venthyr Druid!

I use them right now, as they are 10% faster than travel form.

Nope. Guild perk does not affect travel form, on land or in air. So we're 10% slower, 20% if we use the speed equipment. There's an addon for it. DejaCharacterStats.

[Tyze]

Well.. Normal mount on ground is faster than stag form, so I'm using that if I need to travel far, otherwise stag.

Flight form I'm always in bird/owl

[schwank05]

No, what kind of Druid sinks to such lows that are obviously beneath them and cast a mount rather than just insta casting a mount.

[Isilrien]

I use the flight and swim forms regularly, but only rarely the ground form.

[RadmaKanow]

When I'm doing quests I'm using forms to close gaps quickly. For longer travels I use my trusty Cenarion War Hippogryph. Sometimes I switch to Stripped Saber (old slow mount) but my mount choice is my CWH.

[Sonnillon]

Cheetah form practically always and the vendor mount when bags are full. Just CBA with mounting and don't care if I move slower then the rest. Epic BGs are an exception then the "red flying cloud" (doesn't move up-and-down, sway or flap ) is my go-to mount.
As I get headache/motion sickness from watching majority of flying mounts then "the disc" is used when I don't do my flying form (troll bat - which for some reason doesn't trigger the motion sickness) as well.

Travelform all the way. Except in PvP BGs.
Could not give a f*** about mounts tbh. Most beautiful are shop mounts. Rest are mostly meh.

Like my skeleton Raptor though...

[Littleraven]

Sometimes but I tend to be in travel form most times. I have a few favorite mounts I still use quite a bit but it is way easier to just pop travel for and be on my way.

[Jutath]

Really depends on the situation. Like most have said in BGs for sure it's a mount, while leveling and just moving from one point to another it's travel form.

[Adam Jensen]

Hell yeah.

I got my Night Fae moth I sometimes travel around or my Legion Leatherworking elderhorn. I like to enjoy my mounts sometimes rather than use my travel form.

And I can't wait for flying in Shadowlands so I can take to the skies with my moth.

[Ilovemydogxo]

flight forms duh

[Fartoo]

Only use it when I'm repairing/transmoging, or flexing with infernals and such. Mostly I'm just in travel form.

[VinceVega]

..which is an ingame mount. I am on the other side...bought some shop mounts, but in-game? I use mounts I acquired there. I love some Class hall mounts. Invincible, Ashes of Alar....great stuff in the game.

But OT: yeah...druid travel forms FTW....instant cast? What is there not to like?

I know it is a ingame mount^^
That is why i wrote "though"

Problem with these mounts is mostly that if people have they use them always. So you see them everywhere. If i use a mount i tend to go for one that is more widely available because noone is using them ever^^

Also the orderhall druid "mount" is an abomination. No idea how that got through... mosty ugly owl i have EVER seen.

But with travel form I can use wild charge for a small speed boost and to save myself from falling damage
And I skin / herb / loot without dismounting

[Lora]

travel form for actual movement but the main mounts i use are longboi and transmog yak. but im a relatively avid collector and have a decent amount of mounts to flex on people should the need arise.
