Spirit Peco (Knight Sprites Suggestion)

[Richart]

I'm glad you're so amiable to the idea as I've presented it.

How would you feel about it being a platinum skill with an on / off switch? (Similar to setting Auto-Beserk.)

This would be perfectly acceptable, I'm sure its previous incarnation as an item was simply for ease of implementation.

If you could make this a skill -and- offer some visual indication that you're riding a peco, you could still allow this in WoE/BG.

There are several ways to go about this, I suppose, but a normal 'buff' effect is the simplest and most apparent.
I've seen a 'feathers' aura/effect before (I can't remember if it's associated with anything official, even post-renewal), which caused small, partially translucent feathers to rain down around the player, intensifying and trailing behind them when they moved.

A visual effect such as this, with further indication while they moved, would prove a fairly clear tell that the player is "Mountless" without obscuring their aesthetic when coupled with their enhanced move speed, while also complimenting the purpose and theme of the effect.

If you have any suggestions for visual effects that would work well, that wouldn't easily be confused with other buffs/debuffs, then I'd be happy to hear them!
