Imagine a world where everyone could thoroughly use mount and fight on it. Then if you get dismounted you can foot fight. It would increase pvp and pve in the world. Some of the annoying issues I've noticed with mounteds are If you are geared towards hybrid you can ride a mount but no have means to protect yourself so you would have to sacrifice skills that would make your toon almost useless to be viable on mount. Even if your a thursar I can do mounted combat but no way to heal my horse and when veterinary is added it says primary so im gonna have to sacrifice some of defensive or aggressive stance which is essential for fighting characters just to be able to heal my mount makes no sense why is it not a secondary with controlled riding being a secondary that would save 200 points for people to actually use a mount better. Mages have to invest no points at all into mounted combat or anything they just hop on a mount dont even need controlled riding and can freely cast and heal on their mount this is very OP. The tribred just should not exist at all you are literally an archer mage and MC all in one you never have to hop off your mount. Maybe if you had to hop off your mount to heal your horse tribreds would not be as OP. Lets talk about the horse speed Wayyyyy too slow I rarely ever miss a shot when using a bow and the travel time don't even get me started on that the horse normal speed looks like its almost walking then when you do kick it up a gear the horse tires out in 5 seconds I feel like the max speed on horse should be its tier 2 speed cause the size of the map to the speed ratio doesn't make sense and is very time consuming for casuals or just have it where the controlled riding and swift riding combined allows it to where you can full on sprint with a horse for a really long distance not 5 seconds. During the second stress test I was helping a new guy and the first thing that came out his mouth was the traveling was too tedious and slow and he works a lot so he probably wont play cause it takes too long SHOCKING been saying this forever.
