The mount that drops from Deathwing Heroic has a nice special effect. It makes the guy from your guild that wants this mount more than anything else hate you a lot when you randomly get it on your first try.

You forgot one of the chauffeured bike's special effects: to annoy any player in a 100ft radius with its obnoxiously loud engine sound

[Bigol_Jimbo]

You forgot another ability of the Sandstone Drake. It changes your character model. Useful? No, but it means you can use the appearance swap prism from JCing to "steal" the look while in a party. Then you can have a third person in the party who also has sandstone for the second person to take the drake form with.


Now that you have two people drake formed, you can do EVERYTHING you can as a player while looking like the mount. Including going indoors, and using growth potions... AND getting in multi-seater mounts. (if you get on a mount though your normal character model overrides it though, once unmounted if still buffed you go back to drake).


So... with Sandstone Drake and two friends, you can all growth potion, all use growth items, have two people become drake. Have third person hop on a longboy or a mammoth, then have 2 drakes riding a longboy or mammoth.


Once you do that, you can pretty much just run around and get people's reactions. Or you can forego the mounting and just run into a crowded building as a dragon.

The raft is also useful because it can be used in some dungeons where its a small swim part, negating the slow swimming for a speedy glide!

So essentially the hivemind is for multiboxers?

[Reverberate_]

Things in WoW I will likely never have: the Hivemind, the Brutosaur, and Invincible.

maybe a top ten tips for new and returning players? could be a useful video, plus you can make it every expansion and milk the concept

2:45 'These mounts allow one or two extra people to hop on your mount and allow you to jump off cliffs and kill them.'
I instantly got flashbacks to Wotlk, when these mounts were still new. There was a shortlived trend on our servers where people would ask you to hop on their mount while they rode around. They'd take you to the sewers of Dalaran and use the sewer exits to jump off Dalaran while you plunged to your doom. Doesn't work on all classes though. Didn't take long for people to catch on and the trend died out pretty quickly, but I still remember it happening a lot after the first passenger mounts were just released.

There’s something you forgot about the Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth.

It used to have health, so you could jump off something very high and instead of you taking damage your mount did instead, meaning you could jump off anything in the game and land safely with the only cost being your mount dying and having to re mount it. This was changed pretty quickly though as it was quite overpowered.

RIP Water Strider. You will never be forgotten..

Your video production quality is extremely sophisticated and impressive. You did a lot of work on the presentation. And the information is also very well researched and prepared. And interesting. What I would like to see is a video showing mount popularity, both in terms of mount acquisitions AND in terms of what people actually ride on a daily basis.

[MrAskmannen]

Mounts? What's that?
**laughs in Druid**

[LordFakeGodz]

As a druid, raft is amazing. I only knew it when i decided to finally buy the water strider mount.
You can basically use your Tiger Dash and get max speed out of the bat, then spam spam space to maintain the speed.
I think you can only go up to a certain speed.
Also it work while in Stag form, so you can let a friend hop on you while you're on your raft.

[mrs.alienrope]

next is top 10 useful toys! also useless toys!

[Hype]

Oh my God your videos are becoming so useful, I didn't even know about the 300 toys to get a mount that is actually beneficial to my character. Thank you so much.

[baconoverlord]

Outdated info: Specifically the water striders' ability to walk on water was redacted. The people that have earned it get a free water-tension mount equipment item sent to them from the NPC.

[Gxbo]

I love that Hunters can tame water striders to have the same ability and you can use any other mount having the same effect

[bvz]

"Unless you are a shaman or a dk who are the only two classes with convenient water-walking habilities"


*laughs in hunter*

[negaquark]

Fun facts:
Hunters can also water walk with a water strider pet.
Druids in travel form can use the raft and gain full speed with no jumping.
Paladins pick up the raft if they use Divine Steed.
The XA-1000 Surface Skimmer, while not a mount, is faster than the raft.
The Mechano Hog, when first launched, would allow you to take 0 fall damage. Fun for jumping off Dalaran.

Quick tip: If you're a pally you can bind jump to scroll wheel and pally bubble while on the raft and scroll as fast as you can and can get up to 2000% move speed on the water! :)
