You cant cast at all while on a flying mount

Casting while on a ground mount dismounts you.


As a monk i dont get the big deal.  Sure we cant put our 3 buffs up on  run to camp and cant use soaring leap, but honestly why is everyone freaking out?

The only thing i can think of is people who have to heal while on mounts in order to get past dificult areas or people who have to invis while mounted to bypass stuff? 

Theres no way theres so many people crying because they "can no longer buff people as they ride by"

Yeh i noticed while on test i could no longer use Soaring Leap while on my shadowhound, without being dismounted.
A big nerf to monk travel speed! 

You might say monks shouldn't have been faster than bards in the first place, but lets be honest, bards are faster than horses!!! which is the most preposterous?! 
Master of the mind and body moving faster........guys that drink ale and sing in taverns moving faster.....
Who would win a race, Bruce Lee or Elvis?
I believe my logic is clear 

I really enjoyed soaring over the hills and trees, at one with the wind and environment, utilising the contours of the earth for more fluid and effective movement. It was like something from DragonBallZ!! 

Needless to say i went to bed that night crying.....with swollen blood-shot eyes, and a sunken heart 

I too always use Soaring Leap while on my shadowhound.

Leaping past scenery was a real nice touch, hardly exploiting tho. Its a shame real Exploiters ruin such pleasant things 

From what i hear its only stuff that puts you in combat that dismounts you.

It's a hard balance to stop exploits and still give versatility that players want.
If it stops exploits, then more power to them....
either way do we care?  i cant see it


It's giving in to the loud sobs that caused alot of problems in this game since beta and beyond

Good as long as my soaring leap works, my level 20 camel remains the fastest mount in the game 

Its also possible (has happened quite a few times) that someone simply got their wires crossed.

I know just the other day my wife petitioned that her vetran rewards were not showing up and the GM told her it was a "glitch that they were showing up for anyone yet as it is ment to launch with GU4"  ... never mind the minor detail that its a front page artical on vgplayers. 

Left hand doesn't always talk well with the right foot.  But your suggestion Fuj is just as likely to be true imo. 

In any case not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things.  To me anyway.

Silius stated that the change was permanent and intended, but he didn't think all of what we were seeing was intended.

I'm sure he meant the fact that the regular self buffs and non-combat spells dismounting you.

It is now the way it should have been to begin with. They solved the exploit portion without affecting those of us who use normal abilities while mounted.

I don't know about the rest of you but when I'm mounted I am always using soaring leap. Depending on the terrain we can travle as fast if not faster than bards in alot of these cases. With a maxed out shadowhound and soaring leap we could get around pretty quick when nedded.
