So Bainshees can ride a horse while shape changed but necros cannot?

I feel as though this is more than a quality of life issue for the class. The inability to move the same speed as every other class in the game (without nerfing yourself into regular form) is pretty rough.

Random I know, but I was on my Bainshee last night and I had forgotten I could ride a horse while in the cancerous shape change.

    Bainshee shape change is involuntary and activates when you're in combat and sometimes stays active long after combat. Also there is no benefit to the form, unless you count getting a giant kill me sign over your head as a benefit

    Old code. Can't use mounts when shape changed via artifacts either.

    Yea its just a HUGE deterrent to playing a Necro to be honest.

    Tyrantanic, they had to recode the shape change mechanics when they did the Necro revamp....Bains were already out at that point so they had the know-how. This would appear to be a conscientious decision...

    I don't disagree with you but my response was based on the typical answer provided by BS.

    Not only this... but the "old" Necromancer shade form could ride a horse, and the new Necromancer shade form and other forms cannot. Makes perfect sense :)
