Can you get "knock down" when riding stick mount? And does shadow rider apply to it?

If it doesn't function like a real mount does it mean you can't get dismounted when attacked?

If this is the case it would still be useful considering there are builds that can go faster than normal mount an if shadow rider applies

the "pay to lose" category is just to throw people off the trail that it's meta! i knew it!

Can you cast abilities while riding it?

If so, here comes my 200% invis Speedblade on a stick haha!

Someone with Shadow Rider needs to buy it and ride it past some goblins.

Someone who's not me.

It does function like a normal mount, it just doesn't get the speed bonuses. For example, if you sprint with it, it consumes mount stamina, not your stamina, or no stamina if you have the appropriate CP passive. So, while I haven't tested it myself, I imagine the DB passive would still work, yes.

Don't worry. My theory of "if it ain't broken" as seen here in nerfs: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/463795/nerf-crafting-theory#latest , it will only be a matter of time that zenimax fixes it and you will be knocked down. After all we don't need a bunch of people in cyrodiil to storm past the forward outter gate when it gets smashed down, or people standing on the flags to flip while mounted having extra power to take keeps.
