    I really think that it's not heavy itself that is annoying. It's the fact that 99.8% of the time, heavy doesn't cause anyone to die.

    How about this:
    1)If a single mob casts heavy, the same mob can't cast it again for 30 seconds, but also duration is now 30 seconds.
    2)Heavy can stack.
    3)Heavy causes you to take more damage, increasing with each application.
    4)If a mob has a heavy on you, that mob that casted it has a increased run speed to 80% of your mounted run speed.

    So basically what this means is, if a single mob aggros you, it's basically the same deal as now BUT, now you have to be careful, because if they start to gang up on you, pretty soon, the attacks start hurting ALOT.

    Heavy actually isn't a cast, any attack can apply heavy on you while you're mounted, they can even autohit you and apply heavy that way.
    I do think that they could do something with #3 I like it.
    Instead of heavy they should just apply a debuff which stacks while mounted and each stack increasing the damage dealth to you by 20%, you'd think twice to just ride past a horde of mobs and it would actually bring danger back.
    The debuff should apply with every hit you recieve while mounted and last 1 minute, heavy should be removed or nerfed though.

    I believe it is a random chance on any attack that hits you in the rear.

    Not sure if it's ever been confirmed as such but I don't recall ever getting it unless I'm getting hit in the ass with a fireball or lighting bolt.

    Yea, I am up for anything really that makes the situation more dangerous. And me saying "cast" was really just a throwback to older MMOs where everything, even a punch might get called a "cast". I probably should have said "use" instead. Just bad "slang" on my part, like how people calling their characters "toons" makes some players cringe with rage.... lol Pretty sure there was a game where characters were actually called "toons"... Was it City of Heroes maybe?
