Flying Mounts inside Empress

I think I remember this working before, but does this still work? If so, I assume it would allow me to avoid taking damage from most skills, correct?

Nexon caught on to that a long time ago and fixed it after the DB Patch if I'm not mistaken. It was very handy when things got to crazy, I miss it.

Also yeah you could avoid everything 100% and if you were on your mount while she turned you into a pig you would glitch and be able to fly without a mount or anything so you could attack while avoiding everything except for her tornado attack.

Ah, that's not surprising since it would make soloing a joke for me.
I just wanted to confirm it before I shelled out for a flying mount. Now I don't have to. Works for me.
