Other mounts need improvement.

[Dr. Electrocutioner]

It was already generally accepted that the Skyscale was the most useful mount, and now they added fire breathing, updraft use, and mount in combat.

The last one is huge.
I was trying to go up a wall with a Springer last night but stuff was spawning and respawning so fast that it was nearly impossible to mount it.

The situation was made worse by the fact that my mech would chase things and activate other enemies that spawned or re-spawned further away.

At very least the playing field should be leveled by extending the mount in combat ability to your other mounts the way some other mastery skills get shared.

Once I get this thing I will hover above every battle while my mech does all the fighting. Even if it is destroyed it respawns full strength after 45 seconds.

The thing I was semi-ranting about here is that you can now mount the Skyscale IN COMBAT.

The ability to escape straight up when low on health and healing is huge

It's really not. As you get better at the game, the need to escape vanishes.

引用自 Joker：

Springer is the only mount that feel almost useless to me after getting skyscale

Springer is optimal for quick vertical movement and starting a fight with Breakbar/Knockdown. When heading to any major fight that has an open breakbar, swap to Springer to engage instead of just hitting them with the minor damage from Skyscales Fire Patch.

I believe that you are so powerful that the need to escape has vanished, but this is not true for everyone who plays the game

Long term players have an attitude that everything is easy, and I'm sure it is for them.

Pah, I did that back in 2014."

If anything, I think the biggest benefit is just being able to mount when the game still thinks you're in combat, even though you're done.
Or when you don't want to fight, but keep getting shot at
As an example when I'm doing world completion. It feels bad having to run and keep pressing the mount button 17 times before you finally mount :D

[Dr. Electrocutioner]

Yes, exactly.
Even if survival is not an issue it is a huge convenience and it feels unbalanced to give that only to the Skyscale.

The Springer might actually be viable again if you could use it to pound out CC as described above by re-mounting in combat.

I think you guys will change your views when you understand the game a bit more.

Scroll up and go through the thread again. You guys are going hardcore on a Mastery that is only usable in the Expansion areas AND on a 3 minute cooldown. You are also considering things that are already in the game, but in a different form. For instance, your Idea of using the Combat Mount to use Springer for Breakbar is just a terrible version of the United Legions Waystation.

Only thing I've spoken on of what you mention is the "mount in combat" feature.
Expanion just dropped. I haven't unlocked it yet.

I think if one mount can be ridden in combat then it should be available to all of them.

Certainly it should not be exclusive to the mount that is already better all around than any of the others.

Whatever the United Legions Waystation is seems like straying a bit off topic for this thread unless it relates in some way to mounts.

They would probably need to add a cooldown to the mount combat skills though after using "mount in combat"
But then again, being able to mount in combat is already kind of crazy

But i guess it only works in new zones then

Edit: oh 3 minute cooldown, guess it wouldn't be an issue then

[Joker]

Wouldn't surprise me if they add it to the rest of the game though
It will likely be very requested
Giving tools like that and then not having them avaiable elsewhere doesn't feel good
They also added mounts to core a bit after PoF launch

Why do you guess that?
There is nothing in the wikki entry to suggest that is true.

Sombody flapped up and breathed fireballs last night into a fight in the Crystal Desert, so that ability is not restricted to the expansion.

As I said, I haven't unlocked it myself
I was going by what the other poster mentioned
