Mounted Combat

NaomiHutt · December 2020

First off all let me make this very clear I would love for them to fix all bugs currently in the game before implementing this possible idea

I'm not sure if this has been requested before, I'm guessing that it probably has.

I would love to see mounted combat added to the game.

Whilst mounted you would obtain access to 5 new mounted combat slots along with 1 ultimate slot.

Mounted combat would unlock via the fighters guild and each class would come with their own unique ultimate and 2 unique mounted skills along with 5 regular skills and 1 ultimate that you can obtain via the fighters guild.

This way you can choose between 7 skills and 2 Ultimates.

Mounted combat would still only work in outer areas (open world, not delves or dungeons) unless said delve or dungeon already allowed access to these.

There would also be a a special passive that would allow you to collect nodes without coming off mount, this making farmers happy too.

Mounted combat would work both in PvP and PvE.

Let me know what you all think.

Is this something you would like to see added to the game?

I like the concept what sort of class skills/ultimates are you envisioning?

First of all I would love for them to add polearms to the game as a new weapon skill line, then this could be used on and off the mount using different skills.

Maybe all current weapon skill lines could add two mounted combat skills that can only become active when on a mount.

So you would have 1 hand and shield, dual wield, 2 handed, bows, destruction staves, restoration staves and polearms.

Each skill line giving access to 2 new mounted combat skills.

So depending on which bar you mount on will depend on what skills you have access to.

I'm not really sure off the top of my head what skills each would offer but they would be very unique to mounted combat.

It would be a nice start to have mounts deal damage when riding over someone. Anything beyond that would be cool but is probably unrealistic.

I'd say the mounted combat skill line should be unlocked upon selecting your first mount and not the fighter's guild.

I think I already wouldn't mind if mounted combat was handled like a werewolf transformation where every mounted character has the same base skills, regardless of class and weapon, which they can then morph.
Polearms could be a cool counter to mounted enemies, dismounting them faster than regular weapons do.

Finally a use for Adept Rider! Lololol.

I actually just made my level 16 alt account character 2pcs of it - for the Armor bonus... but more to just be the ONLY person who ever crafted Adept Rider.

Um.... no thank you.

As for Adept Rider... I LOVE when I get a Master Writ in a cheap trait - but only if it's purple or gold.

I've asked for this before in the past. Though my suggestion was far more simplistic. I would be content with merely being able to stay on my mount while I fight. It gets old having to constantly dismount over and over.

We would need real animations like in conan exiles to have mounted combat.

Gythral · December 2020

Just being able to stay mounted would be a plus
water
archways
middle of nowhere
dismounts for no reason are all too common...

This tease of tandum mounts makes me think some sort of chariot combat might actually be being tinkered with.

So ball group cavalry charges with even more speed? Where do I sign up?

Zyva · December 2020

It would be so nice to have this just as a for-fun thing. Farming mats and overland option. Even if it was one-bar and weaker than being unmounted, just the convenience would be awesome

Feeding mount to level skill lines for mounted!!! Add stats like boosted mounted stats tied to the feeding levels
