Turn Mounts into Combat Mount Pets

ArchMikem

I've always hated how our mounts poof in and out of reality when we ride them. They should persist in the world while they're toggled. But instead of acting like any other pet, how about giving them a use when not in the saddle. Make them a combat pet when dismounted.

This would give every player the ability to have an active pet for every class. Imagine your Senche tearing into a Dremora, or your Guar taking a big chomp of that Bear. Even the Horse in Skyrim courageously fought for you.

The damage mounts do can be piddly compared to a Sorcs Familiar, but this would be a huge QoL update for the sake of immersion, as well as a neat combat addition.

I don’t know man, this might cause more problems then it’s worth. Group play will be a mess with all those pets running everywhere, especially trials, poor tanks trying to figure out what’s an enemy and what’s a pet. Also the last thing we need is more lag and that’s precisely what we’ll get with everyone having their mounts all over the place. Until the servers get better, it’s not worth the risk.

Not worth the trouble in my opinion.

This game has more than enough damage

Hmmm I am not convinced.

Not every class should have a combat pet. That's just silliness imo.

They put mounted combat into LOTRO and it helped kill the game

They did this in Skyrim. Having my riderless horse charge past me in order to attack bandit gangs, trolls and even dragons was probably one of the dumbest things I have ever seen in gaming.

In Horizon Zero Dawn, I loved running little creatures over with my mount. I wish I could hear the screams of the rabbits I run over with my mount in ESO as well.
