You ain’t got to go home, but you got to get the hell up out of here… Druids are about to be OP as hell…
In 3.2, the following changes will be made to druid movement forms:
Travel Form: Requires level 16
Flight Form: Requires level 60 (150% flight speed)
Swift Flight Form: Requires level 70
That’s sick. I already have a 19 druid for MTU, but I think I may have to roll me another now!

Edit – More info at Wowinsider shows that druids aren’t the only ones benefiting from travel changes… Hunters and Shaman too.
This includes Druid Travel Form (was level 30), Hunter Aspect of the Cheetah (or as I like to call it, Aspect of the Cheater; was level 20), and Shaman Ghost Wolf (was also level 20). Also in this post, the skull confirmed that class-specific mounts will come at the same levels as generic mounts will: Paladin and Warlock ground mounts at 20 for normal and 40 for epic, Druid Flight Form (now enhanced to 150% speed, like the other normal-speed flying mounts) at level 60, and Swift Flight Form at level 70.
Rut roh… Hunters with aspect of the cheetah… 
Rip also posted on this big change right after I did, here’s what he had to say…
In addition to the new Mount Restriction Changes that will be implemented in the next major content patch (3.2), Blizzard has also decided to lower the level requirement to use Travel Form, Ghost Wolf, and Aspect of the Cheetah to level 16. So with all these changes such as the Blessing of Freedom nerf (during 3.1.3) and now Travel Form, Druid’s will without a doubt be the new FC of choice, with maybe shamans/hunters as a fallback?? I’m personally not to bothered by Travel Form for Druids, but Aspect of the Cheetah on a 19 Hunter? Now that’s terrifying.
“Movement Speed Training By Class
- Druid
- Travel Form: Requires level 16
- Flight Form: Requires level 60 (150% flight speed)

- Ghost Wolf: Requires level 16

- Warhorse: Requires level 20
- Charger: Requires level 40

Just saw this on insider. Shamans will be enjoying Ghostwolf as well. This is really going to shake up the 19s. Definately considering rolling a druid.
garbage
Thanks for the constructive comment. Got anymore or do we just need to make it end nicely?
I guess that this might actually solve the speed pots in premades discussion.
k now give druids cyclone and shammies frostshock at lvl 10
shamans will come to life as FC’s in 19. dropping EBT’s and ghost wolf switching. has anyone really tried to kill a twinked shaman lately? they are insane at healing to boot.
i had a 29 twink hunter, unless the daze is gone in cheetah, they will not become FC’s in 19 due to this. when i have run the flag with my hunter AoM all the way.
the travel form will open options for druids to be kiting spell damage type players too in 19 and 29 brackets. i made my 39 druid twink because i wanted TF which was taught at 30. before they moved mounts to 30 TF worked great in 39.
Wow… Again, casters get ignored. I quit. Re rolling hunter.
Well blow me down. I was dead wrong — I thought none of these changes would happen. …I wonder how the heck are pallies and locks gonna get their mounts at those levels?
Bwappo
=/ Hmm…interesting, looks like I might need to make another twink, still finishing my mage (because CC is still hella useful) But perhaps it is time to consider a shaman or a druid in the 19 bracket aswell…=D
nice constructive comment drayner
It’s obvious you didn’t get how he was using sarcasm to try and encourage more useful comments or you wouldn’t have posted again.
19 WSG will be like 39 WSG was before the mounts to some degree.
druids and shamans will be near uncatchable
Looks like after this patch I’ll be retireing my priest seeing how even more will be rolling Shamans. Time for me to build a Shammy in prep for this change
.
seriously, this kind of fix was due long ago !
the lack of speed in the BGs was basically what made people afraid of doing AB or AV to begin with. the AV problem was solved when mount was attained at 30, but this is making things even better !
except that flag carriers still have the advantage here…
Shaman ghostwolf (40% speed) instant with talents, enhance just got a hell of an update !
Druids travel form (40% speed) this got to be too overpowered, i mean 40% speed all the time and they can shapeshift to get away without being slowed down. druids just took the lead in flag carrying !
hunters aspect of the cheetah (30%) this really needs a boost to the likes of all the others… seriously we’re gonna be better in combat but we’re still lacking when it comes to following a flag carrier to get back flag. this is not going to be that over powered here. we get dazed often with it. this needs to be either undazable, or get to 40%. best would be both, but that would push it too much !
that’s what i think !
Since when do level 16’s play AB and AV? This is no fix… It is what is going to bring a huge misbalance to the 19 bracket. Picture a Warrior FC with minor speed solo running a flag to his base, along comes a Shaman zipping past him dropping totems and a Druid from the same team hauling ass past you both to steal the flag. Also imagine the lack of Priests in that same bg due to the fact that now WSG has become over ran with Shaman rendering the class basicly usless because the priest and the people the priest is healing are being purge spammed and other heals interrupted. Sounds like a great fix to me.
I’m glad I made a shaman
probably going to be a bit unfair to the class’s who only got minor speed tho
Bullshit , because thats all we needed , hunters with speed. My lock is skrewed.
Mobility is changing but not damage output. I really wish they didn’t nerf hand of reckoning for pallies as that would be useful agasint AotC.
Pallies will have to go ret/healer now but can still be tanks during a debuff situation where movement increases are negated.
I think mages might really get blink which would be sick! I mean it is technically a travel spell right?
omg!
Probaly 1 of blizzards hunter twink got killed by a rogue again.
and thats why hunters get boosted again ».«
(Yes… they lack ways to escape, isn’t it?)
THEY’R CLUELESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
How dumb is goma?
If you’re going to do this, Blizzard, at least give us mages blink or else we’re going to be even more useless. Polymorph is indirectly nerfed a large amount by this.
Shaman seems to be the ticket now. Unless they remove the daze effect I wouldn’t lose too much sleep over hunters.
The change will have a definite affect on 19 WSG as half the group will be moving faster than the other half. This will take more coordination to stick together as a group but will be a necessary aspect. Going to be a lot of stragglers (without speed) for rogues to feast on….
Blizzard will never take the daxe effect away. it would be ridicilouse. fighing againts melee classes you get away easy as an hunter, or caster, run away vefore cast ends.
these nerfs sucks tough, but we just have to deal with them
And it’s pretty funny, ppl are saying that theyr rolling an hunter now, druid or shaman. what happens when there is only druids shamans and hunter twinks in wsg?
just l2p with your main twink. it’s possible to beat any class with every char these days. just reguires skills
[...] Good Bye Level 19 Paladin Flag Carriers… [...]
so…. when does this patch come out
I play 29 since a looong time and I have to say it’s about time for us druids to have traveling form. The speed restrictions only apply for the 19 bracket for other classes these will only benefit druids on 29.
But lowering the mount req level is just dumb then it’s all for nothing. All the classes will have a good chance to catch druid fc eg warr mounts up charge from distance and not mentioning huntards.
It’s gonna end lot of good twink 1v1s because one of the teams gonna get help with mounted ppls and it turns into 2v1 3v1 etc.
This was one thing why I hated tard high level ABs so much. It has no fun in it anymore those win a fight who are higher in number.
Wow haha! glad i decided to roll a shaman 19 today!
[...] Good Bye Level 19 Paladin Flag Carriers… [...]
Droo, that’s the point of a battleground though, TEAMWORK. If you’re running off alone you’re an idiot, twink or not.
kthxbai
If you want 1v1, go duel outside IF, noob.
Wow I decided to twink out my next highest toon besides my 80 sham, and it happened to be a 17 Druid. This news excites me because I just happened to be searching for Druid flag carrier stats and I see I get cheetah form… I just about cried with happiness. <3 you blizz!!!
