HA speed penalty in Melee

[Kasigi_Yabu]

Hello,
I've just found out that the 20% speed nerf to HA still applies when switched to melee, and still when the bow is dropped.
I hope this isn't intentional?
Thanks

Previously you could just drop the ranged weapon and pick it up again to avoid the penalty, as it only checked for ranged weapons on horseback at the start of a round.

It checks for HA_skill and according to the annotation in the code it has been made by San 10/08/14 with no changes afterwards.

Thanks, any chance this can be changed for HA-Skill AND bow equipped?

I will ask Professor.

So does this speed nerf affect HA melee even when he dropped bow and is off of horse? Is so that sounds pretty unfair and not very conducive to try to get the HA to mix in some melee fighting as I do with my HA Warclok.

Just tested to be sure, HA skill is the only thing that affects the speed nerf regardless of weapons equipped.

No wonder some HA only carry 3 bags of arrows and no melee weapon when they are gimped even in melee. I need to respec Asheram to remove the 3 HA skill I put this last respec for better crossbow on horse esp now that they nerfed light xbows dmg and accuracy.
