Pets & Horses Horses Ramming

What I am suggesting is that when a horse collides with a mob, they should take damage(Or atleast knockback).

The damage or knock-back would depend on the speed level of the horse. The higher the level the more damage or knock-back dealt. It makes sense, because when I'm riding my horse through mobs they can just hit me, but I can't do anything, and ramming damage would be nice.

feel free to add on.

Edit: I'm thinking that the knockback would increase by a block per 10 speed level, so a level 20 speed horse would knock a mob 2 blocks back.

 

Damage might be a little broken, because on a horse you take no knockback and are a lot harder for mobs to hit. Adding a knockback effect when you hit a mob could be okay though.

 

interesting idea.
Add a poll

 

i'd love to go pigman bowling with a horse

 

It seems I can't after the fact.

 

pigpuck 3.0

 

Okay, now I need this feature.

 

More like walnut bowling with the zombies xD

 

@Skrags as asked: Please add a poll so we can vote on it. I think it'd be so fun to bowl mobs, maybe not do too much damage but just a tad, so it's not broken and can still be fun to run down mobs.

Edit: mb, didn't read where you tried, don't hate me lol

 

I think the damage aspect would be fine; I do think it should deal around the amount of damage from a level 34 player's main attack though for a brown horse, and that should only scale up to 4x for white horses, so it doesn't become a viable endgame strategy for doing damage.

Love the suggestion! The knockback would be oh-so-handy.

 

This is ded so hopefully this will resurrect it

 

yes resurrect !

 

Ok. How about instead of going "oh no, this might deal to much damage," we make this a viable strategy, with a fabled item or 2 that increase horse damage or knockback for tradeoffs?

 

adding on to this idea, maybe knockback could scale with level and rarity ?

 

If the horse could take damage, what would happen if it's health ran out? Maybe it cant be used for a set amount of time. Deleting the horse would not be fun however as that horse would have multiple Le and time put into it.
For the knockback, an fabled or mythic item would be a good way to go, not to mention the fun factor of charging through foes on horseback.

 

Imagine bowling through the horses and having the one weapon with cavalryman (can't remember its name) and then killing them while they try and get you



Edit: doesn't sound as exciting in words as I thought it would

 

Bump because I figured out how to add a poll
