Now a days it seems everyone is mounted and using a bola ect.
I think this is rather stupid, how about this...
When mounted, there is a 20% accuracy decrease when using any weapon that is NOT made for being mounted.
Mounted Weapons:
Polearms
Lance
That long sword with SE expansion (has riding swipe)
Any 1h and shield combo will get a penalty for being mounted.
Bows will get a penalty, Crossbows will not.
Cannot "precast" spells while mounted. Instead if you move after casting you lose your target cursor and must recast. Casting itself comes from concentration, various hand movements, an incantation ect. It makes no sense why you would be able to after casting then grab the reigns of your mount (thus changing your concentration to directing your mount and not casting).
Cannot precast a bola then run off to hit your target. If you are swinging a bola, you would not be able to control your mount, again you would lose your cursor.
This would cause for new strats in pvp and everyone using the same old tactics, run off screen on your mount ect. and it just flat out makes sense that some weapons and skills should not be able to be used while mounted or can be used but not as effective. Yes you can swing a bola while moving on a mount, but not at full speed and be effective with it.
I know a TON of pvpers will say no to this because it would cause them to not be able to be the "clone army" and the same old tactics they have been using for years, but anyone who looks at this from a standpoint of what is or isint possible and what it should be, would agree to a point. And those who will oppose will bring up obvious things not possible irl ala spell casting.
