This is a tiny little helpful trick that can save you from expensive repair bills.
To those who don't know @ 77 you can head to k3 & if you don't have a flyer of your own (cold weather & epics), you can grab a loaner from Honest Max (next to flight master of k3).
Why grab the Loaned Wind Rider?
When mounted, it isn't the normal mount, it acts as vehicle.
So? This is beneficial, because unlike any other mounts, you can mount on this wind rider while being attacked.
This simple tip alone has saved me a lot of gold.
Get away from:
1) unwanted mobs
2) ganks you know you can't fight back, etc.

A little trick:
If you dismount in mid-air, you can start mounting in mid-air & it will actually either pull you up where you casted it & mount, or mount you on the ground.
Note: It IS a very slow mount. You CAN keep this even after you get your epic & use it solely for getting away.
For those of you elitist who think this is common sense, a lot of people actually don't know about this. So please avoid flaming about that.
