Dragonride FASTER with this Trick

[@veloenbladefist]

everyone saying 'use 1' 'use 2', meanwhile here I am having rebound those abilities to letters since launch.

[@Moonwired]

Yeah pretty much, it’s annoying when they randomly are back out of order sometimes.

[@RicoPosho]

maybe type two on your keyboard

[@asdfrewqtyf]

​@@Moonwiredit probably changes every time you change talents loadout :D

[@James_Johnson79]

“2” or “up” is your space bar.

[@ppe18]

haha same here

[@Bruced82]

Get used to this trick during normal travel, once you get the feel of it, you'll wonder how you ever flew without it...

[@hern7213]

Move camera using left or right button? This is actually a pretty significant difference.

[@markuslc1888]

i discovered that trick by accident but am glad it's not just an illusion but a thing 😊

[@quelzar]

Same, it was just like common sense thing to do haha

[@mendicant1981]

Been stuck on azure span slamo challenge for about 2 hours. Watched this video and did it first time. thank you so much

[@handsomezack]

It's now currently the outland racing event and I was stuck on the tempest keep advanced and reverse races by 3-5 secs. They were also the last I had to do. After watching this I beat them both way within the time limit.

[@catalystcorp]

The Tempest Keep race has been so annoying. Had to come look for this too.

[@IvikNier]

Incredible. Soloing every challenge with this trick. Thanks.

[@GeorgeRyan-d9f]

checks description for addon ... nadda

[@damdamdamdumdidum]

It's a WeakAura called "Darian - Dragonriding UI".

[@Dwalik_the_Dwarf]

Found it bit late but it helped a lot in the stupid Gilneas course. Thanks!

[@anhchoax]

same tech but flicking down really fast you can also use it to propell yourself forward without gaining any altitude. Much harder to pull off but insane gain on even parts of the racetracks if you can manage to do it consistently

[@quintit]

low dpi owners (me) are malding rn

[@Damon970]

Where is the name of the weakaura hidden? Inquiring minds would like to know.

[@brandon9689]

This is how i like to fly all the time. 1 is basically there to bait you into wasting all your vigor.

[@zeeg1529]

appreciate you sharing the trick, but where's the promised link to a WA?

[@alefrancolini]

I’ve been doing that from the start wasn’t sure if it really boosted speed or i was imagining it

[@Dilllll26]

is this the surge or skyward ascent ability?

[@omerbozer7423]

dude you are the best. thank you so much, i always worried how can i do challange mod and reversed challange, but this trick help me much. thank you so much

[@Devlinate]

Put the description in the weakaura

[@rogerstalder7184]

After using this trick. Im like 7 seconds faster then gold ^^ before i struggled alot lol. BIG thx.!

[@ZylpaxGamingxKully]

If u hold right click, press speed button, shift down and up with mouse u gain max speed immediately.

[@bojnebojnebojne]

Only really need to tilt camera about 45 degrees upward as u press it.

[@johnj4471]

Yeah that’s actually ideal.

[@liptonicetea393]

Name of the Weak aura: Darian - Dragonriding UI

[@olololo4807]

bro this took me 3 seconds ahead on gold time on a challenge track i was struggling. nice tip.

[@AzozySaif]

thank you Dratnos i did Azure Span Slalom - Challenge with your trick !

[@BlackNinja291]

Put the weakaura in description

[@Bacon-egg-cheese]

Did that race the normal way and oi was it a hassle. I kept missing it by .6 seconds so I had to minmax micro movements and turn ever so slightly sharper etc and I finally made it.

[@ratthew4441]

thats not my 2 button 💀good vid Drat but keep in mind people may have other key-binds. Skyward Ascent for the trick

[@surestab]

Your tip won my Subscription! Nice job! :)

[@BjornBS]

HOW!? HOW DOES THIS WORK!? No matter what I do, I keep flicking my camera up and down but I never get that bloody boost!

[@dratnos]

Make sure you're right clicking, not left clicking!

[@BjornBS]

What do you mean with clicking? I always press down my right mouse button in order to steer my dragon.@@dratnos

[@RoockamRing]

Can you somehow share the WA information for flights? I used it a long time ago, but deleted it, and now I can’t find it.

[@Phatsnake]

What exactly is the number 2 button? Skyward Ascent? Surge forward? The animation looks like Skyward Ascent.

[@kucylja]

thank you very much! it made that difference of 1-2 sec I just was not able to get

[@johnj4471]

If the races are canon it’s kind of funny that we’re just racing through AQ like that.

[@goran77ish]

Wasn't this like known since DF was released? I am using it all the time. You just use 1 if you are going down and want to speed up.

[@WorgenDeath]

Even when you are going down it is better to initiate it by doing this and then aiming down instead of horizontally.

[@goran77ish]

@@WorgenDeath yea, well not always. if you have wall above you or checkpoint is to close it might mess up the run.

[@WorgenDeath]

@@goran77ish There are some cases where you don't for sure, I stuck with the forward ability while under the canope for the razorfen race for example, and for the entirety of the thousand needles race I just pressed forward because you are drowning in vigor so you don't actually care about efficiency on that course. However I'd say in most scenario's skyward ascent is better and just a case of finding the right timing to use it even on courses with pretty tight chokepoints in the route.

[@Airbag888]

Fun has been detected, call in the hammer

[@Zierohour1]

Space bar and "2 button" are the same thing. You can take 2 off the bar.

[@DankMemes-xq2xm]

Nah, pressing 2 one time feels better than having to press space two times.

[@evage99]

I've taken that ability off the bar several times, it's automatically put back on when I re-log. Thanks, Blizzard.

[@richtea7868]

Where’s the WA link? Fuck sake I’ll ask Tettles. Least he’s reliable 😂

[@KaX321]

So, you know those -10 ms toxic mail boots? They affect your flying/riding speed too. Its an absolute pain.

[@tomsettle2631]

gotta have that 1% dps...

[@KaX321]

@@tomsettle2631 more like 3% on pure single target, but yeah, just have to remember to take them off for the races.

[@D2Mephisto]

Interesting. So I have been doing this for a while just riding around, but unintentionally. I noticed it had to do with the skyward ascent (button 2) ability, but couldn't really make it happen for myself on demand cuz I didn't know the finer mechanics involved, altho I did know to manipulate my camera in diff ways to try to trigger this effect. I stumbled on this because I often lift off from Valdrakken, near the AH, to get over to Tyrhold area for Time Rifts or Halls of Infusion M+ runs, and in doing that so many times I stumbled upon this little trick, but didn't necessarily know how to reproduce it. Now I know how to do it every time. Thanks Dr. Atnos :D

[@LazloArcadia]

very solid tip, thank you!

[@tageru1541]

I found out about it myself. Was funny since it was like, end of the beta? Used it ever since cause of how fast it is and how much longer the boost lasts. Love to zoom past other players and see their reactions like "How the hell are you so fast?!"

[@SONofAchuckNorris]

you forgot to compare it to the normal speed boost

[@SensationalBanana]

I thought I was just imagining things!! Awesomesauce, this trick makes Challenge Dragon Races... I wouldn't say easy sincey you can easily fly wrong when using this ability, but it shaves seconds from your time!

[@Mittoa]

Using pitch up immediately followed by ascent has the same effect

[@pebbe900]

Awesome tip man, thanks!

[@Bwern]

Where the weak aura at tho

[@bikeomatic8005]

tilt camera up or fly up and level quickly? its confusing

[@prkr_ae]

tilt camera > skyward ascent > level out

[@catrinastars]

@@prkr_ae not helpful, as the camera can move independently of your character, I'm going to assume that you mean fly up because other wise you would be all ready facing ahead.

[@prkr_ae]

@@catrinastars aim to the sky with right mouse, not left mouse > skyward ascent > aim back down to forward at the direction you want to go. all 3 steps need to be be done quickly

[@TokaroGmbH]

people didn't know this? lol. How have you guys been trying to fly straight upwards? Doing this allows you to actualy point the camera straight up into the sky while maintaining the speed all teh time

[@autumnsphere7581]

Ive been doing this since release

Thanks, nobody asked

@SoulBreazy showed this a few months ago

[@__Fe__]

Amazing tip!

[@ionut-madalinnejloveanu6778]

A faster way to 1 shot all gold it to gpr for max speed at start and wait to get almost max vigor while maintaing max speed , and then spam 1 and you will gold all no problem.

[@ionut-madalinnejloveanu6778]

Because whene spamming 1 you maintain a bigger speed over the max normal speed.

[@chrisvogias8104]

Wow absolutely speechless 😱

[@prkr_ae]

I assume "2" is skyward ascent

[@DayRuler1]

I discovered this on day 1 of the expansion. Always expected everyone to know as well.

[@laxx2542]

"2 button" Yeesh, expected better from Dratnos 😥

[@alohaitsjeff]

if you do it right you can actually use surge followed by ascend to achieve the same boost affect but not have to shoot straight up into the air. works well when going up stairs and other smaller obstacles. i've known about boost up ascend since launch. funny if some people have not known this lol

[@justinmarzan8599]

The difference is with what was shown in the video you use 1 vigor vs 2 the way you're saying. Huge difference.

[@raissamabu]

just train this of 2 minutes and done.

[@niclasjohansson2071]

Not trying to be a wiseass here but i have done that from the start. I just thought that that is how it supposed to be and didnt even reflect on it

[@Mycenaea]

Did people really just discover this? I've been doing this since forever...

People legit do not know this ?

Been doing this since beta lol

[@Idod]

Most known “trick” on the planet

[@wisceupho]

This is getting nerfed in a few minutes.

[@Ferba1856]

Nah

[@agreb25]

This has been a thing since DF beta. It's something many people figured out within the first day. It's not an exploit or anything it's just how the momentum works with moving the camera angle up real quick on the Hover ability. You go up higher/faster if you point directly up than doing it while level as seen in the vid

[@goran77ish]

nah, we all do this since DF release. he should just stick to dungeons and raids

[@unknowndayglo7455]

oh ya, thats critical, been in the arsenal for a minute now
