wow travel form slower than mount

Travel form slower than mounts

Hi fella druids, I am noticing in bbattlegrounds especially that my travel form is way slower than the mounts. At the beginniing I though that it was the crusader aura that was making the mounts faster than my travel form.

On purpose I checked without the crusader aura and still mounts were able to move faster than me.

Can it be that I have forgotten to train something? Where are the trainers for faster travel form?

Thanks a lot Alex

Mounted Speed 210% Travelform out of combat +100% speed (capped at 200%) Travelform used in combat +40% speed + what ever speed bonus you have from enchants (currently +10% is doable)

So in large Epic BG’s you want to still ride your mount of choice to traverse the map.

In small scale normal bgs like warsong where you just want to dart 100-200 yards back into the action, a quick travelform is fine.

I wanted to say thanks for the reply. So when do you use travel form? When questing? When in bgs?

BGs obviously for kiting and/or getting away , or while stuck in combat and being unable to mount.

In open world for a short distance where just a quick instant shift gets you fatser to another flower/enemy etc.

You have my seal of approval

Below a handy Weak Aura you can import that’ll show you your movement speed in real time. I mainly use travel form whilst in the world/PvE (except for when I need to dragon fly) because it is only slightly slower than ground mount speed + you can leap forward in travel form + mounts have a cast time.

It shows in the top left, green text as percentage (does not work for Dragon Flying yet):

Druid Travel Form vs Mount In WoW

WoW is a really popular MMORPG that features a huge open-world map. As a result, the players are mostly to travel through mounts or spells. What they are used for is basically give the player the ability to be able to travel faster than on foot.

WoW Druid Travel Form vs Mount

For those of you who are unaware of what a Travel Form, it is simply a druid shapeshifting spell that makes the druid be able to move faster. This is why players have been wondering whether the Travel form is faster than the mount.

As a result, we can now see countless players comparing Druid Travel Form vs mount in order to determine which one of them is the better option. Through this article, we will also be comparing both the means of travel to help you learn about which one you should be using.

• Better Speed?

The biggest reason why players use either Travel Form or mount is to increase their travel speed. However, when comparing the speed of both of them, it seems that they are almost the same. In fact, Travel Form used to be slower than a normal mount.

But after a recent update, things seemed to change as Travel Form was buffed to match the speed of a normal mount. Now, there really isn’t a difference as both will get you to your destination at pretty much the same time.

• Benefits with Travel Form!

The highlight of using a Travel Form is because of the two major benefits that it comes with. Unlike normal mount, a Travel Form is completely immune to poly as well as other movement impairing costs.

This is extremely useful in PVP as the player has the option of escaping from combat quickly. Even though mount can also be used in PVP, but you will be at a clear disadvantage as it isn’t immune to poly or has any type of movement impairing casts.

• Mount Can Be Further Improved!

Mount also has an advantage over Travel Form as players can use speed boosts. One of the most popular examples is the use of Legion Pathfinder with the amount. This gives you a major speed boost, making your mount faster than any Travel Form.

But, if speed isn’t everything to you, then Travel Form will also give you the option of avoiding fall damage by quickly changing into it.

The Bottom Line

Comparing Druid Travel Form vs mount, we can clearly see how both of them come with their own sets of pros and cons. Travel Form gives you plenty more options and flexibility, especially in PVP, whereas the likes of the mount can be further improved through the use of speed boosts.

In the end, the decision is completely up to you on which one do you prefer.

• This form can only be used outdoors .
• This form changes the druid into a stag if in land-restricted areas, a very fast bird in flying-enabled areas, and a seal in the water (which is immensely useful in Vashj'ir ).

• Your caster form will start regaining mana 5 seconds after you change to Travel Form.
• Unlike a mount , which players cannot use while in combat, a druid is able to shift into travel form while fighting either a mob or another player if they choose to.
• Travel Form is instantly cast, making it even better for those sticky situations. With Travel Form, druids are able to escape from nearly any fight or simply put distance between themselves and their attackers practically whenever they wish.
• As with any form, you may harvest herbs through herbalism , and skin dead beasts through skinning . This makes it an excellent way to achieve the fastest results with a gathering profession.
• The ground based travel form increases your speed by 100% when activated out of combat, and 40% when in combat or when in an arena or battleground. Previously it always increased speed by just 40%. Which speed you get depends on your combat status when you shapeshift.

Tips and tactics [ ]

• This form is instant cast, so it can be used to beat a strategic retreat if a fight is going badly. However when used in combat you'll be considered land-restricted, even in flying-enabled zones, and so must wait until you're out of combat to use the flying form.
• The travel form does not stack with speed enchants or speed gems, with the exception of the level 60 and 70 Feral PvP 4 piece set bonus.

Improvements [ ]

Speculation [ ]

It was widely speculated that a stag model was intended to be implemented from day one but changed before release, explaining the odd hoof-shaped icon, and the fact that while the other forms had unique skins, this form looked identical to cheetahs in the game.

Which way to travel is faster?

A feral druid in cat form, in elk travel form or riding a mount?

Travel and mount are about the same.

Edit: they’re exactly the same lol.

They are exactly the same.

Travel form and mount are the same, whereas cat form is slower.

Doesn’t travel form not include mount speed increases such as the guild perk and Pathfinder?

Travel form does indeed include mount % speed increases. The only time travel form is slower than mount is if you shift into it in combat - then it is only 40% faster unless you’re in warmode and specced into Malorne’s Swiftness.

for some reason it doesn’t include the guild perk 10% speed.

Of course, ‘Mount Up’ doesn’t stack with the 20% from Pathfinder, so once you’ve got that there’s no difference in speed in outdoor zones. Spec into guardian with wild charge for a ground travel experience that imo even beats out prot pally.

You will be slightly slower than the rest of your guild when riding around inside raids, or other instances.

As a side note - it’s kinda fun having a 200% in-combat ‘mount’ with Malorne’s Swiftness + Pathfinder + Swift Landing
