Epic flight form: better late than never!Follow

So tonight I finally got my epic flight form quest finished, and boy am I loving it! It took quite a while to get the group together, and I was a little worried; the final composition ended up Druid tank, Boomkin, Hunter (with Champion of the Naaru title), elemental shaman, and priest (in one of the formerly best guilds on the server. Apparently they've been dissolved since Beta though, so it might not mean anything now). Not a ton of CC, but a decent amount.

We wiped 2 and 4/5 times on the way through; first time on the first boss (too many adds, so many debuffs!), second time when the hunter's pet broke his trap, allowing me to get stunned for 5 seconds, feared for 5, then feared again, while everyone died, and the last time I was the last man standing on Ikiss (or whatever the last boss's name was).

That last fight was actually awesome. Our priest lagged on the first burst, and died. On the second one the hunter ran in the wrong direction and died. Shaman pulled aggro and went down. Druid was killed by volleys and died before getting his hp back up. At 30k hp left on the boss it was down to me. I popped my trinkets, my healing macro, and the shaman reincarnated to get off one last heal to help me take down the boss. AWESOME ending.

The Anzu fight was hectic, but no deaths. I don't think we ended up using the statues almost at all, because the other druid didn't understand the mechanics well. It probably would have helped more than a bit, but oh well, we did it, and HUZZAH!

That was only my 4th or 5th heroic, so it was a blast :) I'm loving the skies again!

The Anzu fight is just cool. I appreciated after everything that went into getting to that point that it wasn't a particularly difficult fight. I've been spending most of my WoW time on my rogue lately and still find myself trying to hit my swift flight hotkey and expecting to turn into a bird...

I have been relaxing tonight and checked the forums for interesting news.

I logged on to rate you up. Gratz man. I am envious.

Just let people know you can summon Anzu, you'll probably get more tells if people know there is a potential for a mount.

Congrats Locke and Skibum on your Swift Flight Forms! ^^

Grats Locke and Skibum!

I have this on my to do list also. I have all of the quest chain done, now I just need to get into H Sethekk. Of course I first need to get enough rep to get honored so I can get the key, lol. My druid is my third 70 and relatively new. And, usually when I try to run something it's for CE rep...I'm only 2.5k awasy from exalted. Also, unfortunately, it seems that more and more most of the regular instances are not run much any more. I guess I need to cajole some guildies into helping, even though I normally don't like to do that. The mount possibility sounds like a good angle though.

Hello everyone! I am a druid lvl 70 and I am still trying to look for the epic flight form quest! Can someone please tell me where could I find the first quest for the chain Q?? It is driving me grazy because I just can`t find the stupid quest!! :( I need help...

Thanks!!!!!

I don't think so. The pally and the warlock epic mounts still take you into vanilla instances, so unless they redo the lot and just have them trained (which I doubt) I think you'll just end up 2/3 manning it at 80.
It won't hurt people too much, as they would get it at 70 (if they were even still in Outland at 70) and then straight to Northrend, where.... they can't fly till 77. I'd just buy the flight skill, get the el cheapo normal epic mount and wait till I had a chance to go get the swift form.
Just my thoughts anyway.
