It hit me......PVP mounting troop?

Unless in future new dungeon/trials we have something that you need to sprint somewhere in a limited amount of time and you are dead if you are mag build with low stamina...it's useless in PVE

in PVP...well it's still kinda useless

Unless we actually have some new skills that scale of movement speed, lol

It was in this discussion about which new trait is worst that I realize something that scale off movement speed is actually doable....on mount!

The stamina riding skill is kinda useless atm, since it probably don't do much besides helping you run away from combat, now here is the idea:

1.You can summon your mount in combat (so that mount is not something you can have only before enter combat)
2.Skill, or even just a PVP mechnic, that you implement damage on enemy when youcharge into him/her, and the damage is scaling off your current speed (which includes, horse speed training, new swift trait, major/minor speed boost)

It would be situational considering you can't exactly risking the off-the-horse snare in a close area, it would only work well in plains, and you will need enough stamina (or clever enough) to hit the target before they knock you off the horse.

Sounds interesting enough to you? and IF spear weapon skill is out this would just merge perfectly and provide flavor to PVP (And with it in mind perhaps we can finally see some mounted enemy, we honestly never had one in any ES games)

I mean I would love to run down a zerg with some buddies while blasting this so I can't see a single thing wrong with this idea.

I'd love to be able to attack while in my horse, just light attacks though no abilities, otherwise it would lead to mounted zergs using rapids from keep to keep

That would turn proxy det - EoF - negate - v.death ball groups into super fast proxy det - EoF - negate - v.death ball groups. It would look quite fun, but zerg balls are already an issue as they are. No need to give them actual power of trampling over the other alliance

This sounds like a flying mount good idea lol

Look, i'm not one to judge what ppl do in their own time, but to expect to be able to fight whilst carrying out that kind of thing is ridiculous and would be nerfed immediately.

I'm interested in a form of mounted combat. Not some lag inducing ridiculous looking solution. But something simple. hell id love lances but again I think would get ridiculous in game.

I think Horse Ultimate is the answer. Using up your ultimate to do a charge, when hitting players acts like DK leap. Would be sweet for riding back to a keep and scattering the defenders repairing doors. Needs a load of caveats.

Maybe a passive - heavy armour leads to behavior above, light armour to increased speed, medium something else.

And the horse dies after usage lol
