What are the current dismount mechanics in PvP? Yesterday, I was being chased by two AD, all of us were mounted and moving at the same top speed, and they somehow dismounted me. I know I was hit by Weakness to Elements, and then it looked like I was hit by a lightning staff heavy attack. I had my camera facing backward for a bit and it didn't seem like either chaser had dismounted themselves by attacking, an effect I couldn't reproduce. But on top of that, I don't understand what sort of attacks can currently be sprinted through on a mount and which can't. So, in sum:

1. Is there any way to attack while mounted at full gallop without dismounting yourself?
2. Which attacks will dismount a moving enemy?
3. Which attacks will dismount a sprinting mounted enemy?

1. No.
2. All.
3. All.

Being attacked while on a mount drains your mount's stamina. If it reaches zero you are dismounted and stuck in an unbreakable stun. If you don't think you are going to outrun someone, always dismount or you are likely to be a goner before the stun ever even ends.

The only way to really verify what happened would have been to take note of the names of the rider pursuing you as well as have an addon that properly tracks combat events. Then you could at least compare names. It sounds like you *might* have already had weakness applied to you, which will keep ticking for like half a minute or something. Then they might have dismounted and attacked you with a ranged attack from the lightening staff. Without either a detailed event viewer or yourself watching them the whole time though, we could come up with a hundred permutations of how things transpired that could fit the bill.
