Arthas Mount (Gah)

Unread post by Arwyn »

If you haven't been to the main site Blizz but up info on Artha's Mount Invincible.

An insanely good looking mount from the animation it looks like they tweaked the hippogryph model to create Invincble.
Of course getting it won't be easy. You'll have to kill Arthas and even then the drop rate for it will probably be insanely low.

So do you think Blizz will find away to use Invincible's design in Cata for other uses. Or will people just have to grit their teeth and prepare to slaughter the Lich King for who knows how long to get this good looking mount.

Hmm, I guess it's pretty nice, but overall I'm happy to say I don't feel any strong urges to own one - which is a good thing considering I probably won't see the Arthas battle for a long time. xD

The anatomy looks really strange, and I don't like the gold accents.

I find the fact that Arthas rides a magical undead pegasus highly questionable...

All joking aside, that is one amazing mount. It would be nice if other skins were made and received from other sources in Cata. I doubt it though - Ashes of Al'ar is still a very hard to obtain (But absolutely beautiful!) mount, and I'm sure that Invincible will be the same way.

I have a feeling it'll only drop in heroic. >.< Even then the drop rate will still be insanely low. However, he is beautiful and I adore the story behind Invincible too.

NEW SIGNATURE PENDING... SOON.

Yeah I kinda wondered about that myself...but at least it's an UNDEAD pegasus, instead of a...not undead one. I mean that would be even more questionable, haha.

I would totally love this mount, but as I do not raid this is 100% not going to happen, so I'm not getting my hopes up XD I will, however, jump at the chance of getting a different skin/version of one!

from what i can peice together this mount will function alot like the mimirons head mount obtained from killing yogg with no keepers....so it will always drop but only 1 per kill.

I have a bad feeling that Invincible will be to Wrath what Ashes of Alar was to BC. :[ Just a hunch that I hope is wrong.
Who knows, maybe they'll be about as rare as blue/black drakes are right now. (Still pretty darn rare but not so much so that you'll only see one once a year..)

I'd love to own this vampiric-pegasus-demon-undead-horse!...Well it's undead, looks vampiric and demonic but still a flying horse!
Leaning also to the Ashes of Alar of Wrath of the Lich king, and we might not see it much around unless in a machinima video...didn't know the song called Invincible was the horses name also. ( I saw Ashes of Alar last time back in BC, never saw it again)

Big fangs =/= Vampiric.

Spiky and evil =/= demonic.

That is all.

Oh and on topic. Yeah, it looks ok, if it dropped I would roll, but I'm not gonna grind up with a group just to go get it.

Yeah... I was watching someone of Beta or something like that flying about on Invincible. I dunno.. The way he flies is just, silly. His hooves must not be attached right, because they swing way up and way down as he flies. Rubbery.
And there's an animation glitch when he lands, wings don't look right at all.
I would roll on him, for sure. But I don't do raids, let alone ICC, so I'll let those who like him get him. *shrug*

You have to kill Arthas in the heroic 25 man version of the encounter and then the mount will drop, on every kill done that way. I don't expect to ever see it as my Guild just can't do all of the heroic version fights.

I think the only way for you to get a frostwyrm is as an arena reward. Which sucks, because I really don't get that PvP thing. (Player vs. Pillar)

It should of been a frost-wyrm not a stupid horse, dragons are so much better. I would still roll on it though since it's going to be a badge of honor.
The story of Invincible is cool. The story of Arthas and his horse isn't. I read the book and never wanted to put someone out of their misery more. (Whiny Q.Qing b*tch /glare )

I think the mount is awesome. Arthas was a Paladin so he'd have to have had a Paladin's charger. It's much better and more unique than a frostwyrm would have been. I don't think it's fair that it only drops from the heroic version of the encounter though.

My DK does not use the DK flying mount because I think it's ugly and there's no way something like that could even fly with no skin on it's "wings". He uses the Ebon Gryphon at the present time.

AH SWEET!

I always wanted a Frost Wyrm, and now I can get one without going near the arenas.

I don't envision ever having a frostwyrm since my Guild is not good at the heroic versions of things. I don't have a single piece of gear that says Heroic on it.
