JerymeVoidal: They ruined it, water walking used to be the final bastion of utility abilities now every class can do everything so it's less special.

gakkoniikimasuka: people were mad that you had to use the water strider in some mythic runs for certain routes so they made this change

cptbrit4211: Yeah I always forget about those mount items… playing a sham or dk as main covers the water bit lol

schmoopyxek4304: As a hunter I would tame a water strider for the water walking spell. It was sometimes a hassle to switch to my main since I barely ever used the strider

Whataboutjabs: God forbid we have to work for anything ingame, people didn't want to grind nat pagle to get the mount so every mount now has water walking

spazzmaticus3412: Felsteed from Warlock had also Waterwalking with a Glyph.

salvatorestabile5547: I farmed Reigns of Posiedus and still have it on my priest.

sparklefartzpwnt: this was one of the BIGGEST mistakes WoW ever made and was a HUGE turning point for the game. LFR, Solo shuffle and BG blitz need to be removed to cultivate a community that plays the game and there for is less toxic.

zosia185: oh yeah its quite neat, BUT, also, the hardest hunter pet to get, its in Mist of Panda thing a mi gig, gotta follow foot prints and the you NEED a hunter cause you need flare

haaruunhassan4770: I remember when i finally got the mount. Went for a test drive. Couldnt walk on water. Went to google wtf? Shit was changed a week ago

Broski8137: it was so cool

but now that every class can do everything who really cares haha

nexviro8987: I remeber fishing on my water strider in MoP and WoD. Had to get those lunkers and provide food buffs for my raiding guild.

matthewbreen1951: And they've done literally nothing with Mount Equipment since then because it accomplished its function of forcing mount diversity.

dtulip1: THE singular most annoying thing about this is if you have a new character who does have the water walking on your character THAT water strider also sinks...ffs blizzard

TENCHUSNAKE-: I farmed for that mount, I was disappointed when they changed it.

demonpride1975: i mean yeah it was cool at a time, but now that otters are a thing, their kind of pointless.

Jebushatesyou: I still use my strider. We have been bros for years

starmony7776: Bear

Skipstr96: What expansion did it come it come out in

ammoposada4427: Wtf so retail is making shit unusable like rs3

IAMMULVA: Another reason retail sucks

ChloeSpencer-o4n: Bug

Lorn058: See there it is right there. That's the facts nothing has any value anymore. There's no usefulness. That's why wow is bad now.
