What mob do you hate?

[Huntington]

That was what I thought way back when beast tribes came out. Dismounted and ran still epic heavied. Even now, last night to be exact, on foot, heavy-heavy-heavy-heavy-heavy-groundfacepalm

.
Yeah the Heavy effect doesn't go away just because you got off your mount, it just means you cannot get the effect refreshed anymore if you get hit again.
