You seem to have a very active imagination, no_rules. And judging by your name, some real awesome creativity too.
So such a man as yourself should be able to think of a scenario where cavalry should stay the fuck away instead of just mindlessly charging into a blob of players, be they teammate or enemy. Kenda and his ill-maneuvred horse manifested out of no where as I'm fighting in a patch of forest, full of trees in a rather dense formation.
If you're going to head into such an area you should at the least be mindful. But no, Kenda being as competent as he is, he rides me over first and then only one of the 2 guys I'm fighting. The other guy manages to hit me twice, as he had already begun one swing when he bumped me and then another one as I'm downed. As I get up with 1/3 of my hp left, the bumped enemy has also gotten up and is allowed to land a free hit.
