Cavalry new Skill, suggestion

Medieval3D

Hello, I really enjoy Elder Scrolls Online, I like the horse system where you have to feed your horse and he will become stronger, faster or with more carry capacity, and I really like how the horse change by reaching different "lvl" or percentages or food ate, for example when my horse reached the 20% of food to become more fast, now looks with new "gear",
I enjoy PvP always is so fun, on PvP you have to use your horses to run fast and reach the next keep, so what do you think If would be add a new Cavalry skill, It doesn't need to be unbalanced (I really think the games is so well made and balanced). would be really cool use weapons while mounted, like in past Elder Scrolls, would be for example:
3 skills and some passive skills and maybe an ultimate, for example:

-Skill 1: Heavy Cavalry: Add more armor to the character while is mounted
-Skill 2: Heavy Bash: Strike a target with a heavy attack and push him away, letting him disoriented
-Skill 3: (new ideas)

-Passive skill 1: Healthy: Adds more health while mounted
-Passive skill 2: Stamina: Adds more stamina while mounted

The battles would be even more epic, imagine Heavy cavalry, Light cavalry, and Archery cavalry

What do you think? please tell me anyone, would be cool see a comment for the developers to know about too

Sounds good in theory. In reality, however, you would instantly be dismounted in every battle by Anti-Cavalry Caltrops, which is a skill in the Alliance skill line that dismounts you when you run into them.

Would love to see more attention paid to the mounts, both in customization and added combat skills. Your ideas would certainly spice up any open combat zones!

Might need to keep it out of PVE, though, except for special scripted sequences (a particular main questy bit in one of the upcoming zones for instance).

For a PVP group though, would give "The Strategist" another type of troop to assault the enemy, and add some fun randomness to even small encounters.

jousting would be cool

Yeah, that would definitely need to be adjusted, either by a skill that gives a % resistance, or temporary immunity, or allow ground troops to remove some/all caltrops immediately before a charge, or just have it be 'chance to dismount or cause x amount of damage.'

Nice to know it, we should make a petition to the developers, what do you think?, maybe in the further next patch they would add it

Personally I would like to see mounted combat coming to ESO someday. Though I expect the skills to be a little different, more passives, less actives... and lances. Definitely lances. Those kinda were the main weapons of cavalry, since with horse-driven momentum they could piece even plate mail...

Of course, then I'd also love to see two-person mounts, aka, war chariots, one driver and one archer (or caster, since ESO has magic). And possibly eben siege beasts... soo many possibilities...

Of course, they have tons of other things to do before they can even consider adding this. But... maybe someday...

they could modify the skill, make anti-cavalry caltrops only aftect mounted enemies, this would create a situational skill that not everyone would use since the other morph of caltrops would be useful against all other kinds of enemies that i imagine would be much more present than mounted ones

another ideia, i would love to see mounted combat in eso be something like a momentum shocktroop that could change the direction of a battle with a well done charge (to be awesome and don't take much away from footcombat), mounted troops would charge the enemy lines with lances and deal massive damage and knock down but they could only do this with a momentum charge, they would need space to get the speed for the charge (this would prevent players from abusing the system, they would need to charge and then chose to either dismount and fight on foot or retreat to prepare another charge)

Methinks he's a little jaded, mayhap. And who can blame him?
