Winged Guardian mount in action

by Mathew McCurley May 31st 2011 at 3:00PM

Blizzard has just released the Winged Guardian, the newest mount in the Blizzard pet store, which of course means I had to buy it and quickly throw together a video of this majestic beast in action. The Winged Guardian works as both a ground and flying mount, scaling with your riding skill all the way up to 310% mount speed.

Over a year ago, WoW players ran the gamut of emotions when the Celestial Steed was introduced. Now, however, DLC (downloadable content) has become a fact of life for many games and virtual worlds. In fact, many people (myself included) don't understand why these mounts don't come out even more frequently, because there is obviously a market for these cool extras.

Check out the video of the Winged Guardian in action. So far, I like this guy. He feels thick and beefy, with a lot of weight to him -- definitely an imposing presence. Plus, it's not another dragon, and we can all be excited for that.

"i can't raid a boss for it"

Good for you. I don't have a schedule that affords me the ability to raid regularly, so ALL those mounts earned by raiding are out of the possibility for me to receive. Should i choose to buy this mount, that will be one non vendor purchased mount i have to the, what, 8 or 9 avaliable on raids? You still owe me.
