Skimmer as underwater mount

[Baldovin.1392]

Please add the final mastery to the Skimmer mount so we could use it as an underwater mount (atop the hovering abilities it already has).

Sorry if this has been posted earlier, I was not searching the forums.

Thanks <3

Yep.It has been suggested before many times.A lot of people like the idea, as far as I can tell.Also I read somewhere, that that just might become a reality.Not entirely sure though. Too early to say.

I love the idea of an underwater mount; however, I would be bothered by an underwater hummingbird....

Better add a new one for that I think.

Skimmers are afraid of water, like all mounts are.That's why they hover over it, not swim on it.

That would be perfect. Hope devs see the request :3

I’d love that!I really like the look and feel of skimmer but it’s one of the least used mount, by doing this there’s more reseason to use it!Although that humming bird skin will look funny underwater lol

Why would we need an underwater mount if they have, as so many others have stated, stopped supporting underwater development?

Still, you can't deny that there is a wast underwater content that was originally created, and it would be much easier to traverse it with the Skimmer.

Adding a mastery to use it as an underwater mount should not be a big problem since they already have the model and there would +1 more reason to use the Skimmer since it is one of the underused mounts.

Oh boy, this again

Skim

to pass or glide lightly over or near a surface.

C'mon...let's not terrify the poor skimmer by forcing it to submerge. I'm kind of in favor of a new mount as well.

We don't really know if we're getting anymore mounts; but no harm in speculating, right?

In one hand, we know that mounts are part of PoF, for the exception of Warclaw. Does not necessarily mean that they are tied completely to it.Nothing is set on stone.On the other hand, if we do get to see the depths of unending ocean, it is most likely that we'd get a mount to navigate the vastness of the sea.

But what if we instead, after the Icebrood, we follow west to Woodland Cascades?Would we still get a underwater mount, or would it be something like a siege devourer?

What are your thoughts?

[lummuss.6850]

And what would the situation of the deadly lakes look like on the PoF maps? The idedal would be to create another specific mount (and one that can't swim in the deadly sands of PoF.

Why would you want to have an underwater mount ? There is no content that requires to play underwater content on a extensive period. There is no endgame goals that makes you play underwater content. It would just be a waste of resources at this point.
