Hallo Leute.
I’ve seen that some players are able to use items to dismount other players off their mounts as they fall from the sky, allowing them to do so at heights and positions where it wouldn’t normally be possible. Could someone please teach me how to do this? It’s for purely academic purposes lol
Different classes have different talents that will do this.
Everyone has:
Whirling Surge - A sky riding talent that consumed 3 vigor, if you use this while aiming your mount towards another player that is also sky riding you will dismount them with this.
Note: this does not dismount people out of steady flying
Everyone can have:
Net-o-Matic - a net with long range and a cast that dismounts players on steady flying mounts, does not work against skyriding
I’m not going to go into all the class specific abilities but I’ll give a couple for example:
Survival Hunter has a pvp talent called tracker’s net, this I use a lot and will root someone who is skyriding so that they slowly, non-gracefully, fall to the ground. They lose all forward momentum and drop straight down but do not dismount, so it you do it high enough in theory they could regain control before hitting the ground.
Druid has Mass Entanglement (not entangling roots, which is a base skill, mass entangle is a talent node shared by ursols vortex, it is instant cast and works the same as Hunters Trackers net.
There’s a few other ways to root people out of the air, only a few to truly dismount. All makes for a LOT of fun in wpvp.
Thank you for your attention.
In this case, I am referring to something very specific that I have seen several players doing, which is using the Net-o-Matic while falling. For example, if a player is flying very high, out of reach of the Net-o-Matic if thrown from the ground, the player with the Net-o-Matic flies to the target and uses the item while falling. I tried to do this, but an error message appears saying that I cannot do that while moving. I would like to know how they do it.
AH! Yes, there’s a specific setting in options that you can check to allow this.
“Auto Dismount in Flight” is the setting, under Gameplay → Controls, it needs to be checked to work.
This is a VERY niche use-case that you won’t encounter too much but it does happen and does have its place. Ultimately you have to be in steady flight, they have to be in steady flight, you want to fly a little higher than them and stop moving entirely then cast the net, you will fall while casting it and as long as they don’t move out of range then you will net them. You gotta be ready for what comes next though.
You will be falling straight down and there’s a lot of ways you can deal with this:
Perfect, that’s it, I appreciate your help.
