Dreadsteed mana cost

Post by Caos » Sun May 26, 2024 9:17 am

With all mounts scaling to the skill riding level it doesn't make much sense that the Dreadsteed costs mana to cast as you can get a free turtle or any blue mount for 10g that is the same speed

Yes, i would never use the dreadsteed or the paladin mount due to the mana cost of them. You are better off just using the race mounts so yeah i think this should be changed.

Felsteed / Dreadsteed can also be interupted & silenced. It's a spell. :P OP Lock tip.

paladin's mount cost a lot of mana, and will break Spirit Regen 5sec.
in continuous battle(like Arathi), paladin's mount sucks

they also benefit from haste though, so there are pros and cons

If you care for performance you never use class mounts. The big ones cost 150 ans about another 100 or so in lost regeneration.
Saving 0.0x seconds from mounting up is never worth it.

Bur thankfully you can do the quest and just use the turtlemount to not pay mana.

Still majorly sucks for locks & pals who wanna use these mounts for the looks

Oh no, i have to spend an hour farming in the game i play for months on end anyway...

The downside is you literally grief yourself massively in terms of manamanagement if you actually choose to use the mount, rather than just taking the free riding skill and using the turtle mount instead

Don't use the class mounts, they are trash. While it would hurt absolutely nobody to change this, we can't have other peolple enjoy nice things and need to shut this down because we want to see paladins/warlocks keep using the turtle mount for reasons

Why are they trash? Is there something they don't do? They only cost like 100 mana, so I use mine all the time.

Ofc if you travel long distances these mounts are fine. But if you mount on & off repeatedly while also hitting mobs (while herbing or questing for instance) you will bleed out so much mana compared to just using the turtle its actually painful.

Additionaly to the 100 mana cost you also interrupt the 5 second mana reg rule so lose another 75 mana ish on top. Plus you cns be silenced, kicked, cointerspelled in pvp. Lastly the turtle mount offers 15% swim speed which no other mount does. There is no reason to be oom just from mounting since learning the pala mount grants riding skill, so you are rdy to go with we turtle, this is why class mounts being free is no argument for using them, since you can switch to the turtle

Why would you waste mana by using a trash mount when there is zero need to do so?

It's gotten me where I need to go. Never went oom or was silenced. I guess those are legitimate complaints but it really isn't that big of a deal to me.

Sure it is not a big deal, but you could also just use the turtle instead.

You're level 30, stop talking about my Dreadsteed. I use the Dreadsteed because it was much cheaper to obtain than non-class epic riding. If you had a Dreadsteed you'd be riding it.

100 mana is ok, but 50 or 10 mana Is welcomed..
the big thing is got silencied while casting steed, you can't cast like death coil in shadow school spell, this makes you a punchbag in PVP

This is actually one of the most nothing threads I've seen. My brother in christ, if the 100 mana is a deal breaker then idk what else to tell you than use another fucking mount.

Thats what we all end up doing. Watch how few palas & warlocks you see on their dope classmounts.
Its pointless why it should have manacost. As of current it is just worse to use this mount over another.

Just make it an ability free of mana. Dreadsteeds are awesome lore and flavor wise, if locks want to use them, they should never be discouraged.
