The occasional delay happens when dismounting leaves you in the air, and you try to transition to a non-griffon mount. Dismounting can actually leave you up in the air a bit, and that can even be used to boost yourself up slightly. However, only the griffon can be called when not on the ground (or water's surface for the skimmer). Every mount has a niche they fill. I still use the Raptor daily, sometimes the Jackal. Springer and skimmer are a bit more niche, and the skyscale does fulfil the same niche as the springer movement wise. You can try out some of the mounts (usually the raptor or beetle) by finding a nearby Race and talking to the Mount Rental Vendor Skimmer is pretty cool and unique too, but I really can't find any appeal in an overgrown rabbit. Jackal is just another stereotypical "wolf" mount that you see in almost all MMOs supporting riding. Griffon is cool, but shares same sort of notion as wolf (I admit, Wow and alliance ruined me). You are not getting what OP asks here. They are not asking for automatic mounting, but to automatically change the mount that would be used based on context regardless of the currently selected mount in the mount skill slot.So using the mount skill on the surface of water would always mount skimmer, and using the mount skill while falling in the air would mount griffon, without having to use If you want to fish, yes. You can't fish from a skimmer (only an anchored skiff) and some points are not reachable from shore. Also I think you can have party members with you in a skimmer but I have not done this. EDIT: party members in a SKIFF, not skimmer.

You can get on and off a skimmer anywhere whereas the skiff limits you where you can get on and off and the anchor adds another step that seems unnecessary. I do find that the skiff is usable for "water take offs" with my skyscale. Contained in[ edit] Black Lion Chest (chance, historical) Notes[ edit] This mount skin can be dyed. It has 4 dye channels.
