ArenaNet talk:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Paragons Flying

You really want paragons to fly? I mean, it might be cool and I can't think of any indisputable reason not to, but something about it really doesn't seem right. That, and I'm just taken aback that someone would actually ask for this. It really makes me wonder--Shai Halud 16:44, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

My main problem with this is the thought that warriors, and similar classes would have a TREMENDOUS disadvantage in this case. This would be one of the more game breaking skills like WoH.

It would also be natural: (1) to allow spellcasters to fly (by casting a flight spell); (2) to allow all other professions to fly by use of magically enhanced equipment; (3) to put limitations on flying, like duration, or accuracy/spellcasting ability while in the air, etc. All this would solve any imbalance problems, but would also require considerable thinking through. However, since GW2 is already going to incorporate a third axis to movement (like climbing trees or swimming), perhaps implementing flying (either solo or in vehicles or on mounts) isn't such a stretch, and must be something they've already considered...
