Never Fight Mounted?

Is it true that mounted combat only benefits those with that skill?

If I'm looking forward to either running, or chasing, I'll always be mounted, regardless if I'm a Paladin or not. Being mounted and flying at the same time gives you the maximum save at keeping more moves when chasing or running away.

If you are flying and mounted, you use moves like you are flying. If you are flying and not mounted, you use moves like you are flying. If you are not flying and mounted, you use moves like you are mounted.

In other words, being both flying and mounted gives you no extra benefit than just flying.

being mounted helps you resist lagging attacks..paladins to a much higher degree obviously..

it also hurts you...but how is a secret!

Makes sense that it would... being on top of an elephant would obviously have certain drawbacks in a fight.

Granted, you'd think being on top of an elephant would mean you could just trample most of your enemies, but... that's reality. This is FL. We're hardcore.

The only people that benefit from lag protection mounted are Paladins.

You are mistaking monks horse stance with being mouted.

Being mounted hurts. Especialy a cleric trying to portal.

I don't think anyone is mistaking anything with horse stance.

Let's drop it here, eh guys? Oh, Pali, there IS a bonus to being both mounted and flying. You use moves like you are flying, but you regenerate moves like you are mounted, which is a considerable boost over unmounted.

Really? Never noticed that... hell, never noticed that moves regen better while mounted. Thanks!

It's because he never mastered Meditation of Blades.

I certainly never pictured that when I pictured a monk in horse stance...

This sentence is just so very wrong in oh so many ways...

there's just not too many sentences that include the words "mounted" and "horse" that can be good.

That all depends one's private interests of course.

So is that a cry for help, Dey? That reply sounded quite defensive.

It wouldn't be a cry for help would it? I'm English - that means I live within at least 2 miles of a farmyard. Which means that any such fantasies that may arise during my life would be very easily satisfied.

HA!

If you are flying and mounted, you use moves like you are flying. If you are flying and not mounted, you use moves like you are flying. If you are not flying and mounted, you use moves like you are mounted.

Not entirely true. There is the added bonus from move regen you get from being mounted.

I think there's an echo in here.
