Waiting for that melee to get close enough to get that last arrow in for the stun so you can switch weapons? Just drop your pants instead.
So now when cavalry charges in, not only can you not sidestep, but your arrow no longer interrupts a couch?
Its bad enough that arrows are going through people all over the place, but now you can't even count on the mechanic that allowed you to save your unawares teammate from a lance to the back. Great shot from 200 yards to hit the Lancer and not the horse! Too fucking bad arrows don't interrupt and your teammate got couched in the back anyhow.
Fuck, just take the class out of the game.
