To achieve this: (i) You must first reach the PvP rank of Combatant during the Season. All except the most current mounts must be purchased with a Vicious Saddle, but the original method of obtaining these has been removed and the new method requires that you first earn the current season's mount. Woo! Incoming 60% insta-mount speed! Quite exciting.In Battle for Azeroth, the method for obtaining these Vicious mounts has changed. talent (still a second tier enhancement talent) that increases the movement speed to 15% and decreases the cast speed by 2 seconds. If you've got two points to spare now, grab the talent and have an instant cast-it's a lot of fun and any shaman can find it useful, 80 or not.ĮDIT: as of 10/11/10, MMO Champion is showing that there is a major glyph that increases the movement speed by 5% and a 2-pt. So I'm thrilled to hear that they're blowing new life into the spell come Cataclysm (indoors ghost wolf!) and I hope it'll be really easy to talent into when the changes are made. There's also something satisfying about it too. I have discovered, however, that while questing in low level areas as an 80, hopping into ghost wolf form and killing mobs while using it speeds up the Loremaster drudgery. Outside of those particular instances, it really is a neglected spell.
So after 20, you see those skills mostly in battlegrounds or when someone is mining/herbing/killing clustered mobs or running from the bank to the AH. Granted, you can get the skills at 16 now, but it's only for four levels, and they go by super fast these days with random dungeons. Now that the 60% mounts are available at 20, GW and TF have lost some of their longevity in terms of long distance traveling. Then I eventually had my mount (when they dropped the requirement again to 30) and all was well, though I looked forward to the abilities when I finally started leveling a druid and shaman and used them every chance I got. How many of us still slogging our way to our mounts sent death glares at every druid or shaman buzzing past? I know I did. (Hahaha-just had a hilarious mental image of a 100% ghost wolf overtaking a druid travel form in WSG! Sorry, can't think of any cat and dog jokes at the moment.)īack when you didn't get your first mount until 40, this and the druid's travel form were things to be envious of.
Unfortunately, doing so would alter PVP game play and we all know how much people complain when the PVP is affected, never mind that druids get a more powerful travel form than us no matter which side you look at it from. While hilarious, the Kirin Tor would complain. Of course, a 310% instant cast ghost wolf zooming through Dalaran might upset the balance of the city such that it flings everyone off into empty space over Crystalsong. I will be playing my friends shamans alot more often in arena after 2.4 that's for sure!Ĭomment by EilonthayAnyone else wish this scaled with your riding skill? I certainly do-I'd use it more often. If you combine that with the great tools shaman has we have a unstoppable healer that will run around and popping out of GW when a totem, interrupt, heal, purge or anything like that is needed then back with +40% run speed and hide behind a pillar
GHOST WOLF FORMS LEGION PATCH
In patch 2.4 we will have a shaman that instead of just outhealing its opponents, can outrun them like a druid. Why is the impact so big you might ask? Well, with a instant boost in speed and LOS meaning so much in arena it gives shamans a huge advantage. My point is: Shamans will be the best healers in 2v2 with this buff and will improve in all brackets. A skilled shaman can keep a caster from casting anything at all with earth shock and grounding totem rotations. Shamans has the best healing and MP5 (water shield is insane) in the game.
Paladins have BOF and cleanse to get rid of slow effects or immobilizing effects (frost novas and such), while shamans is left with frost shock (not a viable option in arena due to heavy earth shock spamming) and earthbind totem to keep the enemies from getting close.Ĭlaiming the buff is useless because it doesn't remove snares is just wrong. They are stationary casters like paladins. The one thing that shaman doesn't have is mobility. The instant ghost wolf buff is in my mind a huge buff.
