Riders that bump players get stunned for a short time.

Basically, hitting someone with your horse will stun you for a short time interrupting the attack. This means bumpslashing/lancing is removed, meaning shielders with their shields up only take bumpdmg.
Maybe to balance it increase charge dmg a bit?

[Tomas]

+1 to this 

I'd also say that if your horse takes more than a certain amount of damage you should have any chambered attacks disrupted.

[Vibe]

+1, one of the best suggestions. I realize 1h/cav is hard to master, but fuck those undefendable bumpslashes. To compensate, increase charge dmg.

[Tears of Destiny]

Two cav nerf threads posted at the same time eh?

[Overdriven]

No.

You'd have to increase charge damage hugely to make up for it.

[Tears of Destiny]

We should change the charge damage to a realistic level and make them one-shot-kill any unarmoured person if the horse hits them at full speed, and make it a one-shot-kill for the heavy armoured horses regardless of whatever they hit.

Yeah!

[Gurnisson]

No. Poor 1H cav...

This would make it impossible for 1h and morningstar cav, as a slight sidemovement by the target would mean you hit him with your horse and be unable to swing at him.

It is easy to avoid being bumpslashed, provided that you have athletics/light armor so you can move a bit(and that you know the horse is coming).

Cav must die.

I never thought that I'll hate any other class with such passion as I used to hate archery.

[Kenji]

Make charge dmg Blunt instead of Cut, then we can start discussing.. (?)

Go ride your pony NA nub and leave EU pros to discuss serious stuff

Says the community that has a bunch of people who think dueling Long Spears is harder then normal weapons?

I don't really see why this is a nerf.  Its not as if the OP asked that you or your horse gets damaged and if you want to work round it, then pair up with another Cav and one of you bump whilst the other kills.

[Lizard_man]

no, but the fact that bumping someone with your horse would stun you is just ridiculous, doesn't make any sense, maybe if been bumped by a horse knocked you down at a faster speed, you would hit the ground before the rider had chance to swing and kill you...

Let me be clear:

I hate bump-slashing, but I want it to stay.

I personally would rather see cavalry behaving more like real-life cavalry, than this dancing around until they can poke you in the back with a long stick. They should not be afraid to charge infantry, lest they have a polearm and know how to use it.
