Decreased damage.
There you go
that cannot be right then, its all wrong or something has gone wrong because them bump slashes are doing the most damage to me atm, forget headshots from arbalests because i can survive them, forget being ganked by 5+ players because i can survive for quite along time compared with the damage they are doing, forget couch lance because they do no damage either. Bump slash 1hits me most of the time like 100% gone just like that, i see the horse coming at me. i ready an attack hit the horse square in the head or legs and then get bumped not being able to do anything while bumped then slashed at the same time and the damage it does and you can't do anything about it just pisses me right off.
its just the fact that you are helpless unless you have some sort of big spear, if not and the horse has enough health you are basically dead if they decide to bump slash you, that is one thing in the whole game which is 100% broken and has no reason to be in the game.
PS: if anyone thinks rolling when bumped is the counter to bump slash you are wrong because you get slashed in the early stages of the bump animation. you can only roll when timed right after the early stages of being bumped.
