Dragonriding Talents Streamlined in The War Within - Rebranded as Skyriding
In today's War Within Alpha build, Dragonriding has been rebranded as Skyriding and the Dragonriding talent tree has been significantly streamlined.
Dragonriding Rebranded as Skyriding
Dragonriding has undergone a complete rebranding as Skyriding in the War Within. Previously, the flight mode was referred to as Dynamic Flight, but that convention seems to have changed yet again.
As a quick update, it seems that only 5 mounts capable of flying are unable to Skyride in the War Within as of today's build.
Streamlined Skyriding Talent Tree
Along with the name change, the Dragonriding talent tree has seen significant changes that look to streamline the system and reduce the overall number of talents. Players will now earn Skyriding Proficiency while leveling up allowing them to spend points in the new tree replacing the need to collect Dragon Glyph Embers in the Dragon Isles.

It remains unclear at what levels you'll be able to obtain Skyriding Proficiency at this time, but we'll be sure to update when we learn more.
A number of talents were removed including: Redirection, Ohn'ahra's Gusts, Dragonrider's Initiative, Skyrider's Compassion, Airborne Recovery, Airborne Tumbling, Skyrider's Cultivation, and Skyrider's Hunt. Other talents have been baked into their base abilities.
