Unique Mounts for every job please

Pretty sure we've been asking for these mounts since they were introduced. Tanks and Conjurer will be the only ones to get unique mounts, I hate to admit it. If they had any plans of giving other classes their own mounts they would have made some steps by now.

I dunno...

On the one hand, it'd be cool to have more mounts designed around the various classes/jobs.

On the other hand, part of the reason for Tanks getting their own mounts is to entice people to actually play the role to help with the underpopulation within the DF, hence why these mounts are locked behind doing a bunch of DF content as opposed to CNJ (Not WHM) where it was a simple quest where you go heal a unicorn and that's it done.

So, while personally, I'd love to see more mounts designed around the various jobs themes, I don't see it happening unless they also implement a new way to entice players to play Tanks in the DF to make up for the devaluing of the Tank mounts that these additions would cause.

I believe the point here is to give them plans they don't have. In wow only a handful of classes had unique mounts (Paladin, Warlock, later Death Knight) but people asked for mounts for other classes for years and they got them 10 years later.


How about mounts for each crafting and gathering class? Leatherworkers can have a goat. Miners can have a mine cart drawn by coblyns.

Nahhh...
Why not just the two fairies carrying you around?

Why would they need to? People would still be enticed for the same reasons they are now: to get unique mounts. They are not going to be able to get the same mounts by playing another job.

I have seen several ppl using it. Even in HW and SB areas. I myself use it as main mount for gatherers in ARR areas.

I think that it is good idea to have unique mounts for each job but it should be harder to get than unicorn. Nothing extreme though.

What if they were all easy to get, but had an advanced version with more details on them? For example at level seventy something, you could get a Unicorn with armor, or maybe it would have a rainbow trail as it runs/flys.

They would need to because why would a DPS main want to bother going through the DF grind for the Tank mounts when they can get a bunch of mounts from playing their DPS classes?

Like, you can argue that the 3 specific mounts that you get from the Tank achievements are enough of a draw in of themselves, but they become less valuable when you toss in a bunch more for all the other classes.

ESPECIALLY if you make them as simple to get as the Unicorn or if you make them as cool (Or cooler) than the current Bear/Lion/Panther.

Literally these Tank mounts exist as a "Come play Tank in DF and you can earn a mount!"

They're not particularly tied to the Tanks individual aesthetic, they aren't earned by doing a unique thing specific to the tank (Such as using the specific heal on the unicorn for the CNJ quest), they're simply there to help push people who would otherwise never tank in DF to play the role.

If they add in mounts for all classes, it stops being "Hey, come play Tank in DF to earn a mount!" and starts being "Hey, come play Tank in DF to earn this specific mount. Also, screw you Tank mains we're sticking your class mount behind DF grinds as opposed to every other class in the game getting their mounts from another source"

Again, I'd like to see mounts themed to each class, I think it'd be pretty cool. But they would need to re-imagine the reward that is currently supposed to be enticing people to play the underpopulated role in DF content.

It's not even working now anyway. Tanks are still a minority compared to dps. The carrot on the stick will never be enough for many players to tank. Some won't ever tank no matter what reward they can get. This is a poor argument for favouring certain classes for mount rewards, especially when the rewards are all different so it's not like you can cheese it out by playing as another role to get the reward intended for another.

I'm quite tired of fairies being the default thing to represent sch. I'd prefer something related to Nym, the city-state where the sch discipline originated from.

But I do agree all classes should have access to their own unique mounts.

[Arrhin]

Yes! Although I want Eos as my mount, she does carry me alot O-O *Keels over dying of laughter*
