Make MA be like MM

[Dramonis]

Increase time to shoot an arrow
while aiming not to be able to move the horse in another direction
Decrease damage per shot to be similar a Thunderlash

 

[ArcaneConsular]

Would you also say that arrows should ignore armor, not be projectiles and also have special arrows that can heal people you shoot?

 

[C3ncio]

Please add:
you can't move your aim, shoot like an attack helicopter
if you hit a pet arrows will heal it
the only arrows vendor it's in the ocean south from jungle camp
the only material to make bows it's oghmium
if you equip a bow you become grey

This is in line with your balancing. Pretty sure you do everything for living but not game design lmao

Thats really silly.
Mage costs about 200 skillpoints more. needs a different stat thats pretty useless otherwise while the archery stat is also great for melee and the mage cant wear decent armor and the mage has a smaller range.
Unless all of this is also equalized, of course the mage must be able to do more than the archer.
And he should not be so much worse as a damage dealer as he is right now.

 

[CrgHck]

mage has a smaller range.

This baffle me the most, why are almost all spells so short range? it makes no sense to me

You stupid or trolling? I want Mounter Archery balanced as much as you do but what you are proposing is just nonsense.
MA will get balanced, they are already working on it, stop with this childish posts.

Look a angry MA

 

[Kuthara]

This is tripe.

MA is just a means to start the engagement and force a fight. Without it people would be riding around freely and you would never be able to properly engage. Trying to kill someone on foot as an MA is horrible. If they have any sense at all they will utterly destroy your mount.

I really don't get this MA vs foot is OP thing. If you're not garbage at the game you should have no issue dismounting an MA that overcommits. Mages included.

There is a realism argument here. How does one steer a horse or get it to change speeds while drawing and aiming a bow?

Talking about realism in MO it's pretty pointless but if we really wanna talk about that, it's not unrealistic: legs can be used to fully control a horse, speed and turns included. There are different techniques that can be used for this purpose, some developed in modernity to help disabled people enjoy equitation and others used in history by Mongolians and native american.

Dude I know. In the same convo we're talking about magic, so realism schmealism. I know that we have to factor in balance as well.

You made a question, i answer that question. If you already know the answer why making aforementioned question?

My question was meant to be silly. Like mostly a joke.

Oh sorry, english is not my native language and sometimes happens that i don't recognize sarcasm or irony. My bad!

But, @Ichorous , seriously —
the same way some people can use a horse for 'cutting' without touching the reins.

not to mention the only long range spell cant be precasted combined with how you cant control your horse makes it nearly impossible to hit someone with while riding

Everyone fails to mention that all of those spells have a max range of about 15 metres (compared to archers whose range is about 80m average). There's no way of knowing if a person is in range and if they aren't? Well, tough luck, you spend reagents and mana regardless. Boohoo, they do good damage if you're within 15m. Then what? invite any class to within 15m and you're dead meat, that's what.
