GWStunnerz.9507 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I know mounts are fun and all, and figured people will just use them to get around instead of running anymore but Im leveling my Rev and I just see a bunch of people hopping on their mount attacking and killing a monster in one shot using the mounts attack skill then hopping right back on it again all within 3-4 seconds, its like Mounts are their new class lol theyre basically clearing hearts without using any of their class skills or weapons lol, I don't know about anyone else but just seems kinda stupid imo, kinda bad to the newer players as well seeing these players just killing with their mounts, they're gonna think "is that how you play the game?" Think maybe just adding a 10 sec cd at least would be a bit more reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucentfir.7430 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 No it's a engagement attack. once it's used you'd need to finish the fight before you can mount up again. What needs to happen is the damage needs to be nerfed heavily in low level areas so people using mounts aren't damage nuking events and mobs with engagement attacks. Anet might of oversighted the damage for the ability when they dropped in mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayumi Spender.1082 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I got a short, simple, easy answer...No.@Lucentfir.7430 said:No it's a engagement attack. once it's used you'd need to finish the fight before you can mount up again.

Anet might of oversighted the damage for the ability when they dropped in mounts. I don't think so as I can kill many enemies in 1 shot (sometimes 2) in the beginner areas which I can do with mounts. The only difference is Mounts have better AoE and quicker so it just seems more powerful.The higher enemies as I go further out from the beginning area will start to take like 3 or 4 hits to kill which is the same as I get on a mount, hit them, they still need 2 to 3 hits to die. And so on and so forth.I see no reason to change how the mounts are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Spiro.9745 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Generally speaking the mount can't do enough damage on its own to kill anything. Even powered up. I can see it working with a bunch of people, maybe, but it's still iffy. Generally speaking Lucentfir is right. After using the skill there is a built in delay because you have to kill the mob, get out of combat and then mount back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes 4-7ish if you're very very lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anet might of oversighted the damage for the ability when they dropped in mounts. It is an engagement attack, but not a weapon skill, even if the attack doesnt manage to kill the low level enemies in one hit, it still leaves them at maybe 2% then back up again, and leaving the fight only takes about 1 sec, unless youre fighting a group of monsters then it may take a lil bit longer, but in that case even with a CD, should be no problem cause by time you finish that group of monsters skill should be off CD, 10 seconds isnt long especially when fighting or maybe even shorter like 8, the point of it is to prevent people from spamming it like their mount is their weapon, its reasonable after being in combat for a lil bit to use it again, but to use it every 3seconds just to kill some small enemies for a heart.

There's already a benefit of getting around faster on mounts than people who don't have them, mounts shouldn't be used as AoE damage bombs in low level area, the engaugement skill is supposed to be a fluid transition into combat. with a once per fight added benefit such as healing people, barrier, hard cc. Killing mobs with your character skills should be the majority of the reason how you're killing mobs, not your mounts. Level 80 enemies do not get nuked like the low level areas do. It should be equalized for new players sake. It's not a weapon skill like you said and it's all the more reason why it should have the damage lowered, players that kill things in 1 or 2 hits are often players that have at least full exotics, even ascended gear so it only makes sense they kill in a low level open world area so fast with player characters.

Celldrax.2849 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 How about No Those of us who go it solo shouldn't have to suffer a needless cooldown. The issue has always been the damage scaling in low level areas (not that I'm complaining, but is obvious why it's an issue in some cases).

kharmin.7683 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I'm with the "no" group on this one. I fully expect this low-level area issue to be resolved with the next patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an oversight I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
