Comment by Furydeath

So if nitro boost told us anything that, "usually won't catch fire" mean's it will catch fire 85% of the time.

Comment by Heffladin

firefall, much?

Comment by Teamer

I'll just stick to the original parachute tinker, thank you.
Why? The Lich King tinker can be used at a lower level, has a shorter cooldown, and probably won't burst into flames.

EDIT:
The glider and the Parachute both have the same mats now: 1 Tinker's Kit.
The CD is now 3 mins, and the duration of the slowfall buff is now 2 mins.
The whole 'bursts into flames' thing also seems to have been removed, as I've used this in MoP a few times, and it didn't explode on me.
I might just stick with this one now.

Comment by asakawa

Wow.. those are some really easy mats to acquire.... I can't wait.

Comment by Joefesok2

It sounds awesome. Honestly, if it explodes on me I always have my back-up parachute cloak from lich.

Comment by HieiVulcan

My mage is the engineer, so i don't have to worry about falling to my death. I just want to see what it looks like.

Comment by guatafu

Flavor texts like these make engineering worth it.

Comment by Sorzzara

So going to get this over my old 'chute, and so not going to fall to an early death in the HIGHLY UNLIKELY *snort* event this thing should go all boom boom on me...after all, an engineer worth his salt ALWAYS has a backup plan...

Comment by Blyyshk

I've been playing with this on the beta a little. The current tooltip appears to be wrong. Currently on the beta it allows you to slowfall for 2 minutes and you can direct the way you will be going, instead of the 30 seconds here. Though that might change of course. It also currently has a 3 minute cooldown instead of the 5 being said in the tooltip.

Edit: Screenshot added

Comment by Frozenkex

30 seconds in my opinion is too low (mostly it wont be), I mean whats the harm it being longer? Or just leaving the buff on until you land, I just thought using something like this can be a lot of fun jumping from really high places.

Comment by degre

I guess the data comes from an earlier patch, as now in Beta the !@#$%^ actually has a 2 minutes duration.

Comment by Glenmorange

As of 27/7 the cooldown on this was increased to 5 minutes, and the "usually won't catch fire" effect was replaced by "has some initial thrust". Plus, you can now turn while falling.

Comment by ifjkl

Let's hope/vote Blizzard will reduce cooldown again in 5.1 Patch. For PvP reasons i'll keep a second cloak and put old cloak-tinker on it, which has 30 sec use, 1min cd for slow falling on it. Macro it! It helped me so many times jumping from sawmill to smith, or from smith down to mine. As a rogue i jump, activate cloak-tinker and stealh-glide down to my next victim. BOOM! Success!

Comment by Joefesok2

The turning may be worth the 5 mins, because, trust me, you should NOT be using it every 5 mins.

Comment by Nyabel

Goblin Glider is seriously one of my favourite things in MoP, hell, it's one of my favourite things in WoW. Currently my wow playing consists of trying to find high places to jump down from and look at the views and try to land as far as possible and I'm sure my non-engineer friends are tired of listening to "OMG LOOK AT THE MAP I JUST FLEW FROM A TO B LOOK AT WHERE I AM BRO"

Also as soon as I found out there's an Alliance "capital" city in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, I mounted up, went on the top of Mount Neverest, jumped right off it towards the vale and what do you know, about a minute later I was in the Shrine of the Seven Stars.

Also a rather unfair advantage in BG's is that in Twin Peaks for one you can jump right off the Alliance fort stairs and you'll fly all the way to the other side of the river. In Arathi Basin you can 'parachute' to the BS as per usual, but also to stables, farm and gold Mine. In AV? Haven't tried yet, but I imagine from one of those towers on the Horde side you can float to the FoS and so on. I can already hear the nerf hammer for the *!@#$%.

I don't know what it is about this that makes such a huge difference to flying, but it's just so much more fun and feels so awesome. Makes me sad to realise people probably find it not-so-awesome once everyone's 90 and you can just fly everywhere again.

But as it is now, it deserves all the love you can give to it. Seriously, if you're an engineer, make one and go up to Mount Neverest or to the big bridge in the Jade Forest near Dawn's Blossom and FEEL THE AWESOMENESS.

Edit: Glider is a curseword? Interesting.
Edit2. Also the duration is currently bugged, because when it reaches 0 the glider doesnt disappear, you just keep on going. Which is nice cause otherwise I Would've died today.

Comment by asakawa

Should be noted that while the tooltip on the recipe says it lasts for 30s, when you apply it to a cloak the duration shows as 2 minutes (and the buff also lasts that long), great for sightseeing.

Comment by Korali

Interesting use I found for it.

When a bad situation outside (World PvP, overpulled, aggroed elite mob) and escaping, I usually pop my Nitro Boosts. If the boosts malfunction and launch you into the air, you can pop this and it'll still thrust your forward from the top of your jump, still allowing you a clean getaway.

Comment by perculia

This is pretty potent if you are a Horde flag carrier in WSG--jump off of the Alliance center roof, float nearly across midfield.

Comment by Gambolputty

The macro you are looking for is
/use 15

Comment by denialed

This engineering proc is so nice :) i love it, you can use it off the smallest hills and get a good flight in combat. Its great. GET IT!

Comment by wiqq

quite OP but well im having fun
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPTmepZrRJE&feature=youtu.be

Comment by Drathellia

So this is probably one of the greatest thing to happen in engineering since tinkering and rocket boosters of any type... the ability to turn in the air is great and hang gliding down any valley that runs toward an ocean or jumping from a mountain is always a great ride.

But this is a totally awesome tool in mid air combat, just pop this near someone and let loose... As a lvl 87 hunter I've racked up quite a few kill on lower levels but it also helps when gliding down on top of people the same level as you, entering combat before they can reach you especially if they are melee is a great advantage...

Prepare to dominate the skies in a whole new way masters of engineering!

Comment by MrFJ

I'm confused about the times on this thing. I installed Flexweave Underlay on my Cloak, and installed Goblin $%^&*! afterwards. So now my Goblin *!@#$% lasts 2 minutes, with a 3 minute cooldown. I have no idea why that happened, but IT'S AWESOME! :D

Comment by MrFJ

It lasts forever. It doesn't despawn when the duration reaches 0 :P

Comment by Lightbrand

Possibly the greatest tinker of all time.

Words cannot describe the excitement I get every single time I get to pop this thing, especially during a hasty getaway since daily quests are such a big part of getting rep.

Need a pristine crane egg to fish for shark? Grab egg, aggro crane NO PROBLEM.
Chased by a bunch of Houzen when you infiltrated their camp? CY@ LOSERS.
All these vermin rats on your back when you try to collect thousand year dumplings? Eat my dust.

The only way this tinker can get anymore awesome is if on activation

plays.

Someone get to that addon NAO!

Comment by tarc

Well, like most fun engineering stuff, this allows for some things to be done that were unanticipated. So far, I have been able to fly off the map within Hyjal Summit, and save myself from a shadow trap when a for-fun 25m heroic Lich King run tonight.

Comment by JopoFirecrack

It's very useful in PvP BG fight situations. I'm not talking about flying across the map with the flag in WsG, TP, but more of when I'm fighting in combat. It actually works like a reverse Disengage + the Parachute tinker. I'm currently using it on my warrior to close gaps or even running away from players when I'm on cooldown. 2 things to note:

- Best length when facing a downhill slope.
- Need to jump to have it deployed because It won't if I'm touching the ground.

*Best places for that kind of use:

- Eye of the Storm: Downhill *from* any nodes
- Isle of Conquest: Downhill from keeps as well as the Hangar.
- AB: From Lumber Mill and to Gold Mine, also effective from starting loc to Farm & Stables
- WsG: downhill from both bases as long as it's not from the mid (same goes for TP)
- BfG: from Alli starting point, from WW and Mine GY, as well as from mid plateau
- Silvershard Mines: downhill from north eastern node (both sides), downhill to south eastern node, from west rail change to mid, from south western node, and from south mid node.
- Strand: anywhere that's going downhill :)
+ TotM: is too flat unless to get to mid.

Comment by Drathellia

Yeah so using the Goblin glider in combination with the Gnomish Gravity Well is pretty sweet out in the world. In Orgrimmar I was able to pop into the air higher than the front gate and then activated the %^&*!@. Its too bad you cant use the Gravity Well during a pvp match (u cant use it in combat already) that would have been sweet to literally glide anywhere from any point on a map by popping up in the air and then zooming off on the glider "forward thrust".

Comment by asakawa

It does not retain your pre-use speed!

Comment by ianovaril

So, I've been playing around with with awesome tinker for a while now, and as of 10/28/12, it lasts for more than 2 minutes flight time (gets stuck on 0s), and if you manage to fly for a full 3 minute and use it again, you get a slight boost of speed and the timer is bumped up to 9 minutes! (You can test this by heading to Mount Neverest, flying to max height, and gliding to the ocean.) Now if only they had higher places to glide off of....

Comment by Ping

Wow, this is FANTASTIC! I've just spent ages testing this out by jumping off high places and seeing how far I can get. A few I've managed....

Top of the highest spire in Dalaran to the foot of Wyrmrest
Temple of Storms, Stormpeaks to Drak'Tharon Keep, Zul'Drak
Top of Icecrown Citadel to the very end of Riplash Strand, Borean Tundra. I could have easily made it to Coldarra, Warsong Hold or Valiance Keep.
The Horde honor&conquest vendors on the Serpent's Spine to the portal to the Isle of Thunder in Townlong Steppes (I use this every time now!)

... where to next?

INCREDIBLY useful on Timeless Isle. Fly towards Timeless Isle, as high as you can, then when you get the dismount debuff, hit your gilder. You can get to ANY place on the island - great for getting to Cinderfall without having to run the gauntlet of Beserkers, or getting to Garnia without waiting several hours for a bird, or reaching those chests on top of the mountains, or simply just entering a Celestials battle with style! It's also possible to swim out away from the isle until you can mount up, then fly up, hit the glider, and glide back in.

*see edit below

It's particularly awesome in battlegrounds. Some particularly fun/useful glides:

... from the starting point in Strand of the Ancients (defending) to the beach.
... from the flag rooms in WSG and TP (Alliance side) to the middle of the field.**
... from the starting points in Eye of the Storm to either of the two nearest towers.
... from LM to GM in Arathi Basin.

**note, not while carrying the flag!

Aside from it's usefulness, it's just seriously epic. There is something so incredibly awesome about floating through the air on this thing, which just beats flying mounts hands-down. Maybe the lack of noise? Maybe the lack of needing to press anything to make it go forwards? Maybe just the gorgeous animations of the fluttering skin over the glider and the extra time we get to peruse the lovely views on offer in the landscape of WoW? Anyways, I am using this every chance I get.

Thanks, Blizzard, for a truly awesome addition to engineering!

A couple of things I have noticed:

Though the tooltip in the engineering schematic says it lasts 30s and has a 5 min cooldown, the glider tooltip (when attached to a cloak) actually has it lasting 2 min with a 3 min cooldown. I seriously hope this doesn't get fixed but I assume it will at some point.
(Even though the buff timer will tick down from 2 minutes to zero, the glider does not dismiss when you reach zero. The buff stays and you continue to glide. If you wish, you can glide for another minute then reapply the buff when the cooldown is up, but ~~there doesn't seem to be much advantage in doing this~~. Actually, your forward speed appears to decrease with time, so it is a good idea to re-deploy the glider as soon as the cooldown is up to get a bit of a speed boost. If you do this you don't get as much of a boost as you do the first time, but the buff on you increases to 9 minutes... which is a little useless as by this time your forward motion has almost (if not entirely) run out!)
As of patch 5.2, this is no longer true, sadly. 2 minutes does actually MEAN 2 minutes. After this the glider will dismiss and you will plummet like a stone.
If anything halts your forward motion (like if you fly into a tree), this halts it for good, and from then on you will just fall vertically as if you had a regular parachute.
The glider can be used where you wouldn't normally be allowed to mount or fly. This includes indoors, in instances, in combat and in regular battlegrounds , but not rated battlegrounds, nor when you are carrying the flag/ball.
You CANNOT activate the glider while carrying the flag.
From the testing I've done so far, this item doesn't appear to malfunction.

Useful macro:

#showtooltip
/use 15

This will activate your Glider on your cloak, regardless of which cloak you are wearing (of course assuming you have the tinker applied to each of your cloaks!). Useful for those of us who regularly swap out item sets.

Use with Nitro Boosts:
Recently this has been nerfed to NOT activate if the nitro-boot aura is active, which killed me a number of times before I figured it out. A way around it is adding a line to your macro:

#showtooltip
/cancelaura Nitro Boosts
/use 15

to replace the censored "glider" as the word is now allowed :P
updated for patch 5.2: now dismisses after 2 minutes :'(
The above "from - to" may be misleading since the nerf to 2 minutes actually MEANING 2 minutes. If you're trying them, I'd advise you carry aGnomish Gravity Well just in case (as a hunter, you can disengage before impact to save you from a nasty fall, mages and priests have other slow fall mechanics).

_______________________

Beta edit below:

This has been great fun to use in beta of WoD, for getting into all sorts of interesting places. The new engineering teleporter ( Wormhole Centrifuge) lives up to the reputation of previous teleporters and at least one of the location options pops you out around 500ft above the Spires of Arak, so this glider can get you from there to a whole bunch of places in the zone. When used with the Rocket Boot malfunction this can also get you to loads of otherwise inaccessible places. I really think we'll have a great time in the no-fly Draenor with this thing :)

Comment by jaq1010

My adventures so far using the Goblin !@#$%^:

1. Launched myself from Mount Neverest, would have reached Valley of the Four Winds if I hadn't hit a hill on the edge of the Vale and cost myself momentum.

2. Launched myself from the roof of Ulduar, landed just outside of Conquest Hold in Grizzly Hills.

3. Found out just how high the highest branch of Nordrassil was (You can't see the ground in Ashenvale when you cross into that zone.)

4. Escaped a group of angry Hozen in the Valley who wanted my head while doing Tillers dailies.

This is a truly FUN tinker.

Comment by Smallfoot

This Goblin GIider comes complete with a blunt-surface front, so you don't accidentally impale yourself on it. A must-have for any green Goblin!

Comment by dadanox

This is the most awesome, most used engineering item I have. If you add a dismount to your macro, and hotkey it, you have a one button action that works even if you jump off a cliff on your motorcycle or mammoth.

/dismount
/use 15

If you happen to be a Priest, make this a one button Levitate macro, automatically pop your g&*!@#$ if it is up, and have a trail of smoke with the "glyph of the heavens" minor glyph.

#showtooltip Levitate
/stopcasting
/dismount
/use 15
/cast Levitate

With that, I get a g!@#$%^ with a smoke trail if it is up, and still levitate if it is not.

Oh wow, I just keybound my Gnomish Gravity Well on F7 and my G@#$%^& on F8. Now I can hit F7 then F8 to pop the G@#$%^& from standing. No more jumping to pop it.

Comment by Eralson

Can no longer be used in conjunction with the Bottled Tornado. Still works with the Gnomish Gravity Well, though.

Comment by Nitweed

The initial and most of the thrust thereafter seems to send you at an angle nearly identical to the slop leading towards the gold mines from the stables in Arathi basin. I found this out while gliding down that slope and i was going parallel to the slope all the way to the bottom.

Also, using this in conjunction with the nitro boosters tinker along with some other speed boost (burning rush for me) allows me to reach the gold mine flag and capture it in some cases before the opposing horde have a chance to reach me. Use the nitro boosts as you're running towards the ramp and then use the !@#$%^ once you reach it.

Finally, does using this drop the flag in Twin Peaks/Warsong Gulch? : nevermind, answered by the top comment. Great in twin peaks.

Comment by sorsa

You can run, but you can't glide!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbelcub2ZJU

Comment by BahamutBBob

I was curious and a bit bored, so I jumped off of Neverest with one of these, going as straight south as I cared to line up. I landed just south of Stoneplow in the Valley of the Four Winds.

Interestingly enough, when the buff timer hit zero, I was ready to cast slow fall on myself, but didn't need to. The buff stayed until I landed safely.

Comment by sylancer

what's wrong with "G l i d e r"? can NOT post this word, odd

Comment by Vtroller

This item sometimes causes disconnection if used quickly after a Disengage.

Comment by Mrwaffle

good to use around sri-la village nice felling to it the only problem is i have an itching felling it would not work irl lol it just looks funny when riding and i'ma goblin

Comment by Wooticus

Worth noting is that the Goblin Glider kills your current 'velocity' in the air when used, making it a great counter against knockback abilities such as a Shaman's Thunderstorm or a Druid's Typhoon if used quickly enough.

Comment by LinkSunstrider

Ok I just started using this tinker and it blew my mind, it has some interesting features:

- It says 30s > 5m CD...
False, lats for 2 min and continues after zero. Probably a bug and I beg to the titans doesn't get fixed.
At least not the 2 min duration and 3 min CD, the unlimited-after-zero bug is a sure fix tho.

- It doesn't share CD with another cloak in your bags with the old 1 min chute tinker.
This means that with a macro you can use the glider, swap to old chute and have a second slow fall.

- It doesn't share CD with the lowbie engineer Parachute Cloak that gives 10 sec of slow fall.
This means you can have a macro with: Glider > Flexweave > ChuteCloak... do the math.

All of this will probably will get fixed cause I really doubt Blizz let engineers get away with ALL of this,
Blizz NEVER let players get away with anything remotely this good, NEVER!.
Though I'm begging to every elemental god, titan and deity they just update the tooltip of the glider.
So, my final review is: Enjoy all of this while you can. I'm fairly sure it will get stealth-fixed for 5.2 patch.

/cheers

Comment by yigella

In Twin Peaks as escaping Horde player jump from main Alliance building and launch it. Will give you nice speed advantage :)

Comment by imri500

I have found a useful macro that I like to call "agent drop in", inspired by another macro I came up with which allows you to use 3 cloaks for endless parachuting, this macro allows you to deactivate your glider and activate a parachute at the same time.

Glider activation macro -
#showtooltip
/use 15
/use (name of other cloak you have which has the parachute tinker on it)

in 30 seconds you'll be able to activate this macro to land.

#showtooltip
/cancelaura Goblin Glider
/use 15

:D

Another macro is the endless gliding/extra thrust macro -

#showtooltip
/use 15
/use (name of other cloak you have which has another goblin glider tinker on it)

and then

just activate it normally after 30 seconds. This is minor as you can only get extra thrust once every 30 seconds... but its still fun to play around with because the thrust isn't that weak.

have fun :D

Comment by jaypee13

I have attempted to use this a few times in BG's and I get disconnected immediately. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Comment by Paladesh

Also very nice in Arathi Basin to fly from the lumber mill to BS or to get a quick route from BS to mines!
For hunters, this thing becomes invisible with camouflage and doesn't cancel it when you land, making an excillent sneak cap!

Comment by ifjkl

A Good macro has been shown above, but here is a better one:
#showtooltip 15
/dismount
/use 15
It will show your current cloak tooltip & symbol when you hover over it in your interface.
Will dismount you when you jump off a cliff while being mounted or to exit an vehicle like your chopper/mammoth (needed to activate tinker).
Upgrade safe, too, so you don't have to change your macros every time you get/equip another cloak.
At last, plz don't forget that (as like other engineer-tinkers) it stacks with other enchants like +intellect/hit/crit.
You can now bind it to a key as an "OH-S+it"-Button for hasty getaways and fun.

Comment by mattybones

Jump from the top of Kun-Lai Summit...then pull out your glider seconds before hitting the ground.

Comment by akage00

A druid in travel form can actually use the goblin glider while having someone mounted on them!
I made a short video showing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S8l4Yk7lTE&feature=plcp

Comment by Androncius

If you use this while drunk it will have the same effect as if you were just flying but not quite as severe

Comment by Joseywhales

The furthest I have found to be able to glide is from the temple of storms in the storm peaks toward Sholazar, I started in flight just a bit above the temple of storms and was able to get to winterfin village I think it is called, just outside the coldara.

Comment by kintotech

I'm assuming this doesn't overwrite cloak enchants?

*ETA* Now that I have an engineer high enough: No, no it doesn't.

Comment by Zyrakus

AMAZING toy Blizz made this perfect. Finaly gives you and advantage when fighting on High ground. I escaped certain death twice first day I got it. When activated It gives you a slight lift. Simply glide over your enemy! BRAVO Blizz. I feel like Batman just need my grappling hook alreay have my loot-a-rang.

Comment by synthblade

They say a picture is worth a thousand words....

Exactly how many words can you conjure up from these two:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/synthblade/WoWScrnShot_030513_002145.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/synthblade/WoWScrnShot_030513_004003.jpg

How To:
1. Friend gets on multipassenger mount (flying ones are easier)
2. You fly up just behind and slightly above them (within range to click and get on their mount)
3. Activate your glider then quickly spam-click your friend's mount.

If you miss**** Be sure that your friend knows what to do. You can have them do 1 of 2 things:
A. Have them decend a bit so you can turn around and try again.
B. Have them chase you so that you can click them when they come within range.
C..... enjoy?

I did this with an elixer of giant growth (makes the glider appear to be nearly double in size).

Comment by longslowgoodbye

Anyone have notes on WHY they nerfed this in patch 5.2?
2Min longer CD, and from 2min gliding to only 30sec?

Comment by kevb70

longslowgoodbye, have you checked ingame? As of 5.2.0/16685, I'm still showing as 3min CD, 2 minute flight per my buffbar after I activated it over halfhill. I had a sadface because I like extended flights, jumping off a cliff to escape death only to die 30 seconds later when the buff expired would suck unless you had backup (fit parachute cloak after you activate glider and out of combat, levitate, slow fall, etc)

Comment by Funderluvin

Elemental shamans with engineering can do wonderful things in PvP.

Silvershard Mines:
Quickly maneuver downhill. Useful for placing earthgrab and capacitor totems to stall cart overruns. Used after thunderstorm, this allows you to recast earthgrab uphill to continue to slow them.

Arathi Basin:

Lumber Mill clears with Thunderstorm and glider + invis to assault stables, blacksmith, farm.

LM --> BS snare/stun totems or spiritwalker to cast before landing.

Road to Mine: you can land on the ledge of the entrance to the mine in conjunction with invis on belt to do some sneaky attacks.

Additional applications in boss fights, PvP and other combat situations (often otherwise impossible to survive) are also enhanced with this device.

Comment by Alfa

Seems you can't use this, as of 5.3, if you have your Nitro Boost popped. Therefore here is a way to still do it

#showtooltip
/cancelaura Nitro Boosts
/use 15

Comment by superfinder

Seems in patch 5.3 it is only 20 seconds not 2 minutes but blizz was nice and let everyone keep it

Comment by Manishtusu

Pop this during gliding and what you get is a stealth-fighter!

Comment by Venenum

In case anyone was wondering. Yes you can fly from the very top of the Dalaran tower south and safely make it to the ocean.

Trust me, I'm an engineer.

Comment by GoRozZo

Glider can be used very effective while carrying flag on battleground Twin Peaks flying through the river without any obstructions. This is the best and fastest way for flag carrier without any potion / scroll / buff, using only own sprint.
Watch video, do it three times and win bg ;3

How fast is that thing ?
357% - instantly, when using it

Reference values:
Running: 100%
Mount (flying, no speed buffs): 410%

Comment by nessie23

I love using this during Darkmoon Faire and just gliding off the top of the cliff near the entrance, circling back around, and if I do it right I can land right in the merry go round to get my buff.

Comment by Bandeeto

For Pet Battlers out there, from the peak of Mount Neverest in Kun Lai, you can easily reach Grand Master Yon, the Thundering Pandaren Spirit, and the Burning Pandaren Spirit. All normally unavailable until you have Pandaren flying. This is my favorite way to do these dailies just because I love the fact that I'm gliding there and I get to level my character doing it.

Comment by vladont

Also known as cheat-your-way-to-the-Timeless-chests modification.

Comment by orcsmash

You can fly around in the Timeless Isle with this.

Swim away from the island until you can mount your flying mount, fly up really high and activate the glider, you can easily cross the whole island, or land anywhere you want.

Comment by bluemewgoddess

is it just me or does half the tiem the boost not work and you only get the slowfall effect and go foreward like 1 yard (not 10 to infintie based on high to low area)?

Comment by Nezran

You need to be a goblin engineerer right?

Comment by grim5000

it appears that the tinker description of this is a bug. i just put this on my cloak today and it still has the 2min flight and 3 min cd, not the 20sec flight stated in the tinker description

Best thing EVER :D

Comment by NicolaiKH

Best thing ever!
Would highly recommend to you guys to use it.

Good for World pvp

Comment by bound4earth

This item needs some serious updating, because engineering is getting the shaft bad enough this expansion with everyone getting our goodies. If Goblin Glider Kit Lasts 4 times longer on a 2 minute shorter CD, then FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Blizzard.

Comment by Furydeath

Not usable on boss fights now.

You can no longer swap cloaks, they share cooldown now

Comment by q8Qatami

Can the Golden Glider on Timeless Isle be fixed, please? It's currently giving an error message, saying "You can't use that here.", even though it's an item that can only be used on the Timeless Isle.

Seems that the 'ancient' Goblin Glider is now the WoD version (I mean, 2 minute falling with the 3 min CD), but anyone can use them, just an engineer to make them, and not a 'cloak enchant' anymore, but a one-time item stackable to 20. Seems this is a great thing to get on ah early on the expansion. This now old-one Glider has those stuff in tooltip, but i guess it's gonna be underused come WoD. One thing though, the previous cloak you had the enchant WILL still have the new WoD Version 'abilities' (2 min fall in 3 min CD).

Edit: Forget what I said about the tooltip info. At least if you're an engineer and already got a cape with the previous 2 min fall and 3 min CD and enchant a new one with the one saying what is on that on this page, as soon you first use it it will 'change back' to the original one. Seems a bug or w/e . Because you already got the parachute from flexweave for 30s fall, but that 5 min CD though :/.

I've found it good to gank afk players sitting high up in the air

The single most useful ability in Draenor so far. I pity those who do not have a Goblin Glider, it saves time and energy.

It's stupid how they still haven't fixed the DC bug after landing with glider when it's been out for over 2 years now.
But hey, can't blame them, there's more important things to fix like pet battles.
