FINALLY! Cool

[Krotux]

Added a cooldown to the Fire Nova spell on Helboars when enslaved.

Good fix, but you should also fix the "buff" counterpart which would be showing abilities on demons that are enslaved, since most don't show them. This is particularly annoying in ZG (voidwalkers), Hyjal (enduring doomguards/dreadlords), and crescent grove since it has a lot of demons.

Also, a similar thing happens when you MC npcs in Stratholme. I believe conjurers can just spam frost nove and kill everything. You should really just enable all abilities but add a cooldown to them (if they don't already have one), so that you don't need to do this one by one.

Speaking of rented mounts.
Would it be possible to give those some more speed, let's say 30% atleast.
Yesterday I played a lvl 6 waelock and rested a horse. It should give me 3% movespeed. But riding a horse this slow, it honestly feels even slower than just walking. I mean, what is even the point of these rented mounts if they are just annoyingly slow anyway.
How about give them 45% speed. Now they can become intersting, relevant and fun until 40 but still not broken

[Grizb37]

Yeah I think the mounts should be like 40% speed. You lose them when you dismount to pick a herb up or fight a mob so wouldn't be broken at all and you'd need to go back to the town to get a new one. They become irrevelant at level 20 anyway when you get the turtle mount which does the same thing but can be used anywhere

Thandol Span quest fix when?

[Yggd]

I disagree. These rentable mounts are already a nice, immersive movement boost for low level characters without making the actual mounts feeling less rewarding.

• Fixed skinning not working at maximum range.

Whatever u did, u make it worst.
Before i could skin by going closer, now it doesn't work completly.
Please undo or fix :)

[Moonstorm]

I wonder if the Heigan and Maexxna changes were related to the character on the top of the threat table being protected against getting teleported into the trap room or getting web wrapped. I always saw it as a challenge in knowing the game's mechanics and a challenge in group discipline as to not pass the tank in threat, even if the target of the enemy does not change.

If the changes override this behavior, it reduces the difficulty involved. Make of that what you will.
