FLYING NIMBUS!

Or whistle up some Monkey Magic cloud riding?

Commento di Blyyshk

Now that the monk glyphs are finally on the beta I've been toying around a bit with Zen Flight (I'm also attempting to upload a screenshot). It can currently be used in Pandaria. The speed increase is 60%, but the 10% mount increase speed from the guild perk currently works with it. On the ground it is default move speed, guild perk does not apply. It is an instant cast and when you dismount in the air you get a parachute for 10 seconds. As it is an instant cast you can just cast it again, just like flight form from druids.
Only works outdoors, have yet to see if it works in dungeon with outdoor area's. I doubt it will, but if it is possible it will probably be hotfixed at some point.

Do you need to be lvl 60 to ride this "thing/cloud" like or can you travel 60% at lvl 1, thank you.
Looking 4ward to MoP Good work Blizzard Entertainment.......... ;

Commento di Cielos

~~Just make sure you don't log out in Zen Flight from a high altitude. You won't have the buff when you log back in and you'll drop, at least for right now.~~

They fixed it.

Commento di Rankkor

I kinda wish this could scale with riding training. If its stuck at 60% flight speed then its just a gimmick, rather than something useful. I'd rather it had the 1.5 cast speed of all mounts as long as I could fly at max speed on it.

Nevertheless its a truly awesome skill, and allows to make endless references to Dragon Ball, or Journey to the West.

Commento di Werlwind

You can use your Heartstone while Zen Flight is active.

Commento di Adamsm

Luckily, those who are not so Pure of Heart can ride on these.

Commento di 1036955

You can cast some spells while flying in Zen Flight mode. I have found this really useful for some pre-MOP quests since you don't have to clear a safe area to use a quest item now.

Also, you can mount while in Zen Flight mode. This means you can instantly get in the air, and then mount onto something faster from safety.

I have not tested whether you can gather herbs + minerals while in Zen Flight since I have different professions. Maybe someone else can confirm that.

EDIT: One difference from bird form that should be noted is that you don't have to be on the ground to do any of this. If this works with mining and herbalism, we could see monks gathering without getting aggro from mobs at all.

Commento di 665261

I thought druid's Flight Form was the best "mount" in game, but now.....
1- It's one awwweeeesome reference to dragon ball :P
2- You can fish while over the cloud! I tested it, i was few feets over water and i started to fish o.o SOOOOO FUUN!
3- You can perform other actions like: Picking herbs, skinning - Mining i have not tested yet but i think its possible too.
4- I made one near useless test, just for fun, cooked over the cloud, i needed fire close to me so i went over one house, placed the fire on the edge (did that without taking out the cloud) then i went off the edge and cooked some dishes :B And you can do other proffessions actions over the cloud, like crafting, prospecting ETC.
5- Someone said when you dismount in air you get one parachute... i tested and that really not happened i only died, i tried from different altitudes.
6- Its instant cast, like druid's Flight Form!
7- Can be funny if you turn your particles graphics to low, looks like your monk is having some gases problems :P and no cloud hahahaha
8- You can pet battle without dismounting the cloud! Tested it too now! haha
9-I conclude that you can perform any "NON COMBAT" actions, while over the cloud

Well that's what i can tell about that beauty *-*, loving more and more my monk and MoP.

OBS: Sorry about poor english >.<

Commento di Toldry

I tested the speed and apparently it flies at 176% speed (compared to the regular 275% of Esperto in Equitazione)
And a 100% speed when used as a "ground mount".

It's too bad this cant be used to replace regular mounts.

Commento di Toldry

Things that can be used while Zen Flying:

Hearthstone
Trinkets
Mounts
Crafting (including Cooking Fire)
use quest items
pick quest items up

Things that CAN'T be used while Zen Flying:

Any regular monk spells
Zen Pilgrimage
Stance switch
Eating and drinking

Feel free to add more to the list

Commento di lolkidspain

at a quick speed

Lies.

Commento di Thror

You can cast Rilevamento while afloat. You can pick up the shards you find through archaeology without cancelling Zen Flight. Archaeology has never been so easy. Evading mobs is a cakewalk.

(Do switch to a faster mount for movement from digsite to digsite, though.)

Commento di wulfmojo

I find this incredibly useful for farming tradeskills, as you don't need to 'dismount' to gather. This is especially true for Archeology, as you don't even need to be near the ground to Survey or collect fragments.

Commento di Tarnage

This ability appears to operate a lot like the druid flight form. You can still gather herbs/minerals/skins while 'mounted', but it is less restricted than that. Fishing, Crafting, and even prospecting dig sites while hovering a few yards above ground are all possible.

A tip: If you don't enjoy the fairly slow speed that it grants and still want to safely farm, try canceling your flying mount midair above the collection spot, casting zen flight as you fall, floating down to acquire the goods, then cast your flying mount of choice while still on the cloud for an all around easy, safe, and fast farming experience in areas that allow you to fly. Have fun!

Commento di Kazlehoff

Speaking from the perspective of a druid main, monk alt player, IMO its fair to make this slower than a regular mount, due to being able to do some things in zen flight that not even druids can do in flight form (fish, archeology, hearth, craft & mount). its a trade off.
i'd be fine with them making this a clone of flight form as long as the aforementioned abilities were taken away from it to truly make it a clone of flight form (and retaining the things flight form druids CAN do, such as herb, gather quests, etc.)

all in all its a very interesting ability, and should be in a monks arsenal whenever theres a glyph slot open to use it..

Commento di Kazlehoff

Step one: Potion of illusion a Druid.
Step Two: Zen flight.
Step three: Nyan cat song.

Profit.

Commento di oberonsedai2102

you need lvl 60 for Flight Master's License , but i see people lvl 42 moving around on this cloud.
how come ?

Commento di Reignac

I'd take this over Flight Form any day, speaking as a Druid main.

Flight Form is free level 60 flying training, true, and it scales with your mount speed, true.
But Zen Flight has so many more uses. You can do any gathering profession without dismounting (including Arch and fishing), whereas with Flight Form only herbalism lets you stay (well maybe skinning but my druid doesn't skin so I'm not positive).

But that's not the best part.

The best part about Zen Flight is that you can use your hearthstone and mount up on your real mount in midair. That is amazing and you have no idea how much I wish Flight Form had that.

Commento di raymix

Simple macro, might come in handy:

#showtooltip
/dismount
/cast Zen Flight

Commento di Auroth

Someone should just make a petition already, asking Blizz for this mount to be more like Druid Flight Form. I'd dig it.

Commento di Mithael

Shadowmeld Zen Flight macro for any night elf monks.

#showtooltip Shadowmeld
/cast Shadowmeld
/cast Zen Flight

(spam the button as fast as possible and almost guaranteed to get mounted so you can fly away).

Commento di Varomar

So this is undoubtabley a bug but i was able to fly from wintergrasp to dalaran despite not having coldweather flight, only the masters flight license. I had to repeatedly spam the zen flight button to make it work but it did. Ive submited a letter to Blizz to see what their opinion is, hopefully not a ban..lol

Commento di ibroadfo

*CAN* be used while pet battling without dismounting. You do need to be on the ground though.

Commento di 1037800

the "cloud is just like the gylph for priest levitate spell glyph that "makes it look like you are floating on a cloud" which it most certinately does not.t a puff of purple with a poor effect. hope this is changed to the smae cloud used in the flying red disk mount.

Commento di Fenaris

Ok. I did the figures, and there's unfortunate news.

When your monk has epic flight training, Zen Flight is no longer a viable alternative for farming over mounted flight.

I tested the flight times going from the bridge on the river in Hillsbrad to Thoradin's Wall. I went once in Zen Flight, once in Epic speed.

Epic Speed : 29 sec
Zen Flight : 67 sec

In order to make Zen Flight a viable option, there would have needed to be over 25 nodes between the river in Hillsbrad and Thoradin's Wall to make up for the 1.5 sec cast time of a mount.

If you plan on keeping old flight speed, it's an improvement. If you're planning on getting epic flight, it's no longer a viable alternative.

Commento di llangevi

With the latest patch (27-Nov-2012) they nerfed the heck out of this thing. It used to be alout as OP as the Druid bird form - not as fast, but I could farm herbs with it and even skim the servace of the water with it.

Yes, I used to fly over some herbs normally, then pop this Zen Flight to drop down and pick without dismounting, and if a monster hit me a couple of times as I finished up, I could levitate out of the way and no longer be under attack.

Now, if you are hit at all, you dismount. I was flying over a spot where an npc sot me and my zen cloud turned into a parachute! And down I fell into the crowd of awaiting foes. And if I get too close to the water, it just disappears.

I also see that after the server reboot on 29-Nov-2012, the spell seems to have disappeared. I expect they are working on that.

So in the meantime, I'm going to replace it with something more useful.

Commento di 536914

Hehe, cool, now I can play gravity chicken with monks, too.

Commento di Xirobe

It is possible to fly using this while wearing Girocollo Stregato.

Couple additional notes:
When the disguise breaks you will not be dismounted.
When you put on the disguise it will dismount you, though.

Commento di mihalidis

and for the today's useful tip....

..drums...

you can make a cooking fire on water .. YES thats right, the fire actually floats on the surface of whatever puddle of water you drop it. ...

Feeling hungry while crossing continents? No problem.. whip out your fire and cook yourself up some nice dumplings while enjoying the waves

Commento di 343950

Is there a macro to end Zen Flight? I'd like to put it at the beginning of my attacks so when I go to attack something, it doesn't give me 'Can't attack while actions are prevented.' Any help would be appreciated!

Commento di evariel

Unable to use this at Sunsong Ranch. It says 'Spell cannot be cast on a stealthed target'.

Enjoy

Edit: #showtooltip Zen Flight
/dismount
/castsequence reset=3 Zen Flight, Spectral Gryphon This Macro allows you to do whatever you want with your cloud,basically allowing you to get back on Zen Flight every 3 seconds,resetting the macro and literally making possible to zen spam,to allow big / long jump chains.

Commento di shinjii

As of patch 5.4, Volo Zen no longer allows you to gather materials without touching the ground or a structure. I am not sure if this is intended or a bug as it is not listed on the patch note as far as I know. =(

Commento di aggromaster

A macro that works well is;

#showtooltip
/cast (insert flying mount here); (insert ground mount here)
/cast !zen flight

Commento di Xemit100

Im confused, does this act as a mount or just as a spell?

Commento di Auberzz

My personal uses for this:

Saving self from falling
Mining nodes close together (or herbs)
Fishing in style
Getting those awkward nodes you can't reach without falling
Twirling around in Goldshire
Quick Escapes with nearby mobs while farming

EDIT: Have a lot of ores to smelt? Throw down an anvil, or smelt in stormwind with a crapton of people around you and contemplate life WHILE smelting your ghost iron!

Commento di Harmmony

Use Moonfang's Paw and then cast Zen Flight. Look, you are a wolf sitting on a cloud, meditating! (I'm new to the comments system, how do I link the spells/items?)

Commento di AngeredPally

So you can use your Hearthstone while using Zen Flight.
But did you know that if you cancel your Zen Flight while using your hearthstone, and you will be casting it while falling.
This can make for a really fun way to hearth.
This also applies to anything else you can use during Zen Flight, but the Hearthstone has to be the most satisfying.

Commento di vexis58

Apparently cannot be used in zones that do not allow flight.

Tried using it in Draenor because it looks cool to float along on a cloud instead of walking, but it just says "You can't use that here."

Commento di Quynzal

As of now (6.2), only appears to work once Specialista in Equitazione is trained at level 70.

Commento di hypnoticbob

This spell, from the minor Glyph of Zen Flight, which allows instant-cast out-of-combat flying is convenient, but ultimately probably too slow to be very beneficial.

Normal character run speed is considered 100% movement speed. For contrast:

Level 20 apprentice riding will allow a mounted speed of 160% (1.6 multiplier or 60% faster than base speed).
Level 40 journeyman riding will allow a mounted speed of at 200% (2.0 multiplier or 100% faster than base speed).
Level 60 expert riding will allow a flying mounted speed of 250% (2.5 multiplier or 150% faster than base speed).

This spell allows flight at 160% movement speed. Yes, it's movement speed is that of level 20 training. While all mounts scale with riding proficiency, as far as I'm aware, this spell does not. For comparison and contrast, this spell could be considered similar to a druid's flight-based Travel Form, which scales with riding proficiency.

I hope that in the future this will change, but it is what it is as of patch 6.2.3.

Commento di Ludmillaa

At patch 7.0.3 you can loot mobs while in Zen Flight. I killed Vyragosa, and she landed on a sheer cliff face where it would otherwise be impossible to loot (now that they have nerfed Findle's Loot-A-Rang)! Something to bear in mind if you are farming for Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake.

Commento di mihalidis

This spell, after having mysteriously disappeared from our spellbook (patch 7.0.3), is now once again available.

It is being sold by Caydori Chiarastella in your classhall (at 50,59) for the bargain price of a mere 50 gold coins.

Commento di SlashBlack

You can cast Essence Font with this...strange.

Commento di RayNewland

I don't usually play monk, but I just hit 110 with my monk alt. I recently discovered Zen Flight, and more recently discovered it's limitations. At this point, it seems to be mainly only useful to prevent falls. Normally, this would be worth a spot on my action bars anyway, but with Roll and GoFast and my normal mounts, I was struggling to find room for it.

#showtooltip
/use Zen Flight
/use Swift Windsteed
/use Dark War Talbuk

Now, I use Zen Flight every time I mount. If I can't mount, the macro stops and I keep it. If I can mount, I do, and you'd never notice that I use Zen Flight.

Commento di Wren

Be me. Be Grand Master. Get Zen Flight. Cannot use that here, in my own monastery.

Commento di Zuckerguss

Ironically, you can't use this in the Monk order hall Temple of the Five Moons, even though you can use other mounts here.

Commento di Pangolin

As of the current patch, getting hit while using Zen Flight cancels it, gives a short-time parachute, and very often causes a disconnect from the game when my character lands on a surface.

Commento di katarda

"You can't use that here." In BFA beta Zandalar zones.

Commento di Jakobi

Weirdly enough, this WAS usable in some areas in BFA. I was able to fly up to unreachable areas. Even though the spell would break after a few seconds, I could recast it while falling with the parachute.

However, it was hotfixed and no longer works (at least until flying is unlocked).

Commento di Nokiya95

bugged? cant use it at all, anywhere
"you can't use that here"
tried pandaria, legion, orgrimmar, nothing

Commento di ordamo

By default this spell is disabled for each expansion, but it unlocks when you complete the Pathfinder achievement (so you can fly)

Commento di Dernes

I'm happy to report that as of 8.1, Zen Flight is working for me again! No more 'can't use that here'.

~~But I now have a weird yellow arrow under me that won't go away... Even after disabling all addons and reloading the UI.~~ Nevermind, that was due to a weird buff from a quest I was on.

Commento di cndd1

Very handy for fishing... you can cast while sitting on your cloud, fish out the pool then move on to the next one. Allows fishing over water so easy to avoid aggroing mobs on land - no more water walking pots needed.

Commento di Ycontrol

Rerolling to monk...

Commento di TegoZanduba

Saw in a guide that the tooltip says 'Level 1'... no, you can't fly at level 1. In Shadowlands it is 37. Confusing.

Commento di CommanderAmaro

I love this spell! You can use it anywhere even while falling and then you can even mount a regular flying mount while using it mid air! It feels a little slower then default flying speed but I'll trade that for the utility it gives any day!

Commento di Vlalkor

Zen flight is currently bugged in pre-patch 9.0

Book states must be level 27 to use, currently level 30 and got "You are not high enough level" to use.

Now it tells me "Already Known" = Cheat my 37G 50S! I want my Gold back! :(

Commento di Jardi

I haven't seen this mentioned but I discovered you can channel SOOTHING MIST and ESSENCE FONT while floating on the cloud in the air!

Commento di Tiritto

This ability has been nerfed multiple times ever since it was released, therefore I've decided to make it easier for everyone and list up everything that works and what doesn't while using this ability.

Last update: 9.0.2 (Shadowlands Pre-event)

Things you can do at any time, even midair:

Using Volo Zen midair in order to prevent fall damage or simply stop falling. — Please note, that this ability might be unavailable in some areas, like dungeons and battlegrounds.
Summoning of any mount that is currently available for you and allowed in your current zone.
Changing your currently equipped gear and your character's title.
Switching your current War Mode status while in Stormwind or Orgrimmar. — Works with both enabling and disabling it.
Summoning Banca Mobile — It will spawn your Guild Chest right in front of you, no matter how far up in the sky are you, but trying to interact with it will always break your flight.
Placing a feast for your raid party — tested on Banchetto Insanguinato
Creating a Fuoco da Campo
Using Pesca to catch fishes from the safe distance
Using active item effects of an item that is not classified as a Toy, including active effects coming from gear pieces. — Tested with Scopa Spazzarovina, Pietra del Ritorno, Mantello della Coordinazione, Manufatto Senza Tempo, Pietra del Ritorno alla Guarnigione, Pietra del Ritorno di Dalaran and Bussola dell'Ammiraglio. Please note, that Toy items, like Pietra del Ritorno del Viandante Eterno, won't work, despite having a similar effect.
Crafting items, including “crafting” of heirloom items — Tested with Cucina, Conciatura and Archeologia, but should apply for all other professions as well. You can also craft non-profession items like heirlooms or Birra Evasiva.
Use some Monk abilities: Nebbia del Sollievo, Fonte dell'Essenza, Birra Fortificante (Windwalker and Mistweaver only)
Using those talent abilities: Elisir Curativo, Circolo di Pace, Barile d'Esplosivo (as long as you won't damage anyone with it), Doppio Barile
Using those PvP Talents: Tè della Concentrazione Zen, Creazione Birra Evasiva (crafting only)
Using non-offensive abilities from General tab of your spellbook, like Resuscita Mascotte or Cristallo della Matrice della Vindicaar.
Interacting with Bacheca degli Eroi — Most likely will work just fine for Horde's counterpart as well

Thinks you can do, without breaking the effect, but only while being on the ground:

Eat feast placed by you or your party members (tested on Banchetto Insanguinato)
Collecting herbs through Erbalismo and Garrison's Farm.
Summon pets from your Pet Journal

Things you can technically do, but will break the effect:

Interacting with guild banks, banks, mailboxes and NPCs, including vendors, profession trainers, guards and all other. This might be a bug, since this action is fully permitted to do while mounted with any normal mount.
Using Barile d'Esplosivo will cancel your Volo Zen as soon as it hits any unit.
Changing your specialization — It's worth mentioning that your flight will break AFTER your specialization is changed.
Changing your talents — This might be a bug, since this action is fully permitted to do while mounted with any normal mount.
Using items and consumables will almost always cancel your Volo Zen
Like with other consumable items, using Birra Evasiva will cancel your Volo Zen, but you can still craft it midair without breaking the effect.

Things you can't do at all:

Using Birra Fortificante as Brewmaster. — For some reason, Brewmaster's alternation of this ability can't be used during Volo Zen. It's probably related to the fact, that despite having the same name and icon, those are two different abilities: Birra Fortificante (BM) and Birra Fortificante (WW and MW). It might be just a bug.
Using any other Monk abilities, talents and PvP talents that weren't listed above. — I've personally checked every single one, including combinations with other specializations.
Using any kind of Toys

Things that I wasn't able to personally check:

Gathering materials via mining.
Summoning aquatic mounts

Commento di WokkaD

To use Volo Zen you may also need to have Esperto in Equitazione which allows flying.
If you do not have flying, then you get a "cannot use in this zone" message.
Volo Zen gives you movement speed of 170%.
A flying mount is listed as 150% but is actually 260% (with guild perks etc.).
