https://www.pcgamer.com/world-of-warcraft-to-add-mount-equipment-so-you-can-stop-using-that-damn-water-strider-all-the-time/ > I hate the Water Strider mount in World of Warcraft. I wasn't very active during Mists of Pandaria, when it first released, and I've been too busy to go back and grind to get it (or any of its alternate versions). Every time I'm forced to slowly swim to my destination and some player blitzes by atop his water-walking Water Strider, I silently curse their existence. Thank god for WoW's upcoming 8.2 patch, then, because one of its many excellent features is a new system of mount equipment which includes "Inflatable Mount Shoes" that gives whatever mount you choose to ride the ability to walk on water. > Revealed during a livestream for World of Warcraft's upcoming 8.2 patch, called Rise of Azshara, mount equipment will let you earn a variety of passive buffs that apply just to your mounts. They'll make traversing Azeroth much less frustrating.
