All that selling of primals and terocone has paid off.

This thing is crazy fast and crazy fun to fly around on. Yeah, you only "need" the 60% flying mount, but this thing is worth every copper piece.

So, that thing (and the riding skill for it) cost how much again? Something like 5k Gold?

Level 225 riding skill = 800g (need this for 60 percent flyers, and to train 300 skill)
Level 300 Riding skill = 5000g
280% speed mounts = 200g (60 percent mounts are only 100g)

So yeah, if you just dinged level 70, you could spend 6k gold and immediately get the fast flying mount. But, if you don't have 6k right at 70, you can spend the 900g to get the 60 percent flyer to be able to reach the flying-only-areas.

Maybe one day I'll be able to justify spending 50 - 100 hours farming gold and justify buying this mount. Till then, I'll just use flight paths and my 60%

I can't really understand how you arrived at that conclusion, since the epic windriders look almost identical to the non-epic ones, only with a big goofy mask and colanders over their eyes.

And armor on the tail, legs, over the back, and have a better idle flying animation.

Those "Colanders" that are over their eyes are to protect them in battle as you tear through alliance. Gore in the eyes is a definate dismounter.

Could someone link a video of 300 level flight in action? I'm curious to see what 6k gold looks like.

Honestly, my gold making capacity went up since i got it (Already passed 1500g with light farming. And I've been off most of this week and don't play the AH).

Flightpaths are obsolete with it unless you want to go afk. And you can go from corner to corner in outland in maybe 10m or so.

My only suggestion is to get a riding crop made (1 small prismatic, 6 arcane dust, 1 primal might, 4 (heavy?) knothide leather), as it makes a gigantic difference.

And none of it will ever stack with flying form either, so at best its a gimmick that wastes a new spell slot in TBC. I fully admit that being able to use it in combat would be rediculously OP, but most classes get abilities that maintain their usefulness, whereas flight form gives you a temporary advantage that gets overtaken through your normal game progression anyway.

You mean like how, even with the +100 bonus immolate combo, Incinerate does less damage than the final rank of shadowbolt?

That sucks, sorta annoyed on my mage that if icelance crits it breaks frost nova but it crits for less than my frostbolts do making it sorta crappy if it crits on the first shot. Just got the spell and already it's mostly useless.

Frostbolt+Ice Lance at the same time.

Oh yeah... Frost Nova breaking on crit is NOT actually 100%... more like 99.99999 percent. I can say this I actually had FN survive a crit with Ice Lance last night.

I considered it more a "Hand of God takes pity on you" situation than something you can reasonably expect to happen often.

Still, this nerf makes me wonder if I shoud respec to get Frostbite - right now, FN is the only way I have to freeze a target for those sweet Ice Lazer crits.

But, there's nothing really in my spec to give up.

Improved Counterspell is so useful it's not leaving my spec, ever.

The Water Elemental is too useful for 45 secs of added dps, and he comes in handy when an elite sneaks up on me or there's an unexpected add. I'd name him Speedbump if he ever stuck around for more than 45 seconds.

Damned if I know. I don't keep track of it, and I sure as heck haven't played 45 hours since Sunday. I don't even know when it thinks the week starts.

But lets see... every day except Sunday and Tuesday I play two hours maybe before work, and three hours (again, maybe) when I get home at 1:30 am. Sundays and Tuesdays I have off, so I play as much as I want. So, 45 hours a week is not terribly far off...
