Since the beginning of WoW, certain classes have recieved either a mount or travel form.

Warlocks and Paladins were capable of questing for a mount, while Druids had a travel form and Shamans were able to have a speed increase through their Ghostwolf ability.

Even though the quests to acquire these mounts has gone the way of a bad troll infested thread, the ability to learn and summon them has not. Yet, I cannot help but look on with green eyes of envy everytime I see either a paladin (after ganking me, of course) or even a Warlock (again, after ripping me to shreds), summon their own personalized beasts and dash off into the sunset, with my Honor Kill logo still glistening above their heads.

This point is not meant as a giant QQ festerpool, or how paladins should be nerfed for their awesome sauce warrior killing abilities, but to hopefully bring an interesting idea to the table....should every class have the ability to summon (or transform) a class specific mount?

Let us look at an example: Warriors. I would personally love (even if I had to go upon a long questline) to be able to summon a war like monstrosity at my side. Perhaps a bear, decorated much like the Amani War Bear in certain ways. The mount would showcase the feel of a Warrior, with various weapons and shields slung upon it, maybe decorated with various dragon/murloc/critter skulls dangling from the sides.

A rogues mount could be a pitch black panther, with daggers and knives sewn into leather on its arms and legs.

What about a mage? Maybe it could summon an Arcane appiration or something magical and flashy (preferably not a carpet...unless it had machine turrets across it)

Hunters could simply tame a mount. Would beautifully fit the idea of a self sufficient character.

And that pretty much wraps my idea up. I just would love to see this kind of class uniqueness be implemented maybe in some Cataclysm Patch or something. Bring back the epicness one felt in the Vanilla/Burning Crusade era when one was able to attain a mount for the first time, but with the ease and fun of Wrath.
