Blizzard has simplified Skyriding in the upcoming Midnight expansion. Here’s a rundown of all the highlights that we’ve discovered on the Alpha so far!
An Overview of Changes
- The Vigor bar is now gone. As a result, the Vigor requirement has been removed from all Skyriding abilities that used it.
Surge Forward and
Skyward Ascent now have 6 shared charges. It takes 10 seconds for a charge to replenish.
- When you first use the Space Bar to ascend after mounting up, this is not going to cost you any charges.

As you can see, Second Wind still has 3 charges and remains unchanged.
Closing Thoughts
Overall, Skyriding feels great on the Alpha. It’s refreshing not having to constantly micro-manage your Vigor bar!
