There used to be (still is) an object called a Bola. This primitive weapon was actually rather effective. Basically what it was was two iron balls with a rope connecting them (like this O-rope-O ).

Now how was this used? Basically it was used to knock people off mounts (horses, etc) and would wrap around its target with force which made their arms useless and also made them fall off their mount (with the weight of the iron balls)

How is this applicable to TKA? (Or any other melee profession)

A TKA could buy a SWGed version of the weapon (hey we can already use VKs, so we're not unarmed, why not stretch it a bit further? it's still a melee weapon...) let's say, two Iron balls connected by an electric rope or something. The TKA would throw it much like a grenade, or trap. If it hit the target it'd have a chance of KDing it (this would count against the KD timer) and would stay down for a second or two, giving you a slight chance to catch up

Also you all know that we can't melee (or what I've read) from a mount? But Ranged can fire from mounts, right? So what's that mean for us? We're gonna get kited to hell and back when mounts come out. So why not add in something to knock those ranged people off their mounts? It makes sense to me, does it not to you?

Questions? Comments? Has this been thought of before?

Mount movements slow down to player movements once combat is initiated.

That doesn't like a bad idea, but I think melee professions are suppose to be getting better range with their attacks on either this patch that's being installed now or later one.. That should help alot.
