So I have the spirs (4%), carrot (3%), glove enchant (2%) = 9% speed increase.

When I saw the new riding crop (10%) I was lookin forward to getting +19% speed...
Sadly, it doesn't appear to stack with anything - you equip it with all the rest of the gear and it just overrides the rest giving you a total of 10%.

My question: is this intended? I hope it's a bug - I don't mind giving up 3 bag slots for an extra 9% mount speed. Alas, I'm thinking it's most likely intended - any blues, greens or informed people know?

P.S. Carrot, glove enchant and spirs all give less % speed increase with flying mounts compared to land mounts. Perhaps that has something to do with it?

Its meant to replace the previous stuff, 10% instead of 9% and all in 1 trinket rather then trinket boots and gloves

yeah personally i'd rather have an extra trinket slot and not have to have "riding gear" with the right enchants.
although, when do we get legendary mounts that are 150% and flying XD

Q u o t e:
There's not any current intention to allow either on-foot or mounted travel to be increased beyond 10% that each type of travel already allows. So regardless of what you have equipped you're not going to get above 10%. The riding crop is really just a one stop replacement so you can clear out some space you might have been using for other speed increases. Hey, there's the bag space solution you've been wanting! Enjoy. ;)

LIES!



Crusader Aura FTW!

...and for us BM specced hunters, it allows us to use those points from Animal Handler somewhere else. :)

(i.e.; you do realize that the only reason hunters were taking it was for the "free" riding speed increase, right?)

Q u o t e:


Erm, well the discussion was regarding items augmenting travel speed. I suppose I should have made my post specifically state so as well.

---

i do believe the word is PWNT!

Q u o t e:
I wish they'd tell people that when they're selling them for 200g+

---

Like you didn't spend 200g upgrading a Mooncloth to a Bottomless Bag.

Wait, you didn't? Cheapskate.

Well, does Crusader Aura stack with the riding crop?

No, nor does it stack with PoJ, or any other movement increasing effects... or so i've been led to believe...

No need to be more clear Drysc....You say in here...I'll quote again: "increased by items beyond 10%" that items....you never mentioned auras. This person just needs more comprehensive reading lessons. However, my disappointment is that the trinket doesn't stack with my aura...but I guess that's understandable.

Maybe that should be revisited then...because it's not really fair that unless I have my own pocket paladin with me there's no way I can keep a paladin from outrunning/flying me. That, coupled with the BS that is judgement of justice, means that (assuming we're in a BG or not in the outlands) a single paladin can stop someone on their mount and keep them from getting anywhere and there's nothing they can do short of killing the paladin to get away. If I remember correctly, frostshock was put on diminishing returns for this exact reason.

And no, having to counter one class's skill by using the same class isn't my idea of balance.
