Can hackapell use its skills without being mount? Just this.
None of them work without mount.
Really ? you have to be mounted to use its 2 sword attacks? is this a bug in the game or is it intentional, because its literally going to ruin my rogue
lets qq to the game designers and petition … #Roguenation
Yeah, the animation is like the character leaning forward and almost charging with the mount while slashing/stabbing, so one could argue it is meant to be that way… Leg shot on the other hand?.. But that skill is confusing on this classes skill selection in general to me o.o
But it’s not all as bad as it sounds IMO. I was dismissing the option of going Hakkapelle at first, based on the fact it’s built around riding a companion… Then just bought a pet that doesn’t look ugly (why the fck aren’t hoglan pets fluffy cute big beaked balls of feathers like the actual hoglan mob? C.c oh well, velheilder is cheaper anyway) as I was closing in on rank8, because I didn’t feel like Mergen would compliment my character much better, and I am really happy to be a Hakkapelle now.
The extra mobility is refreshing, and the dashing aspect is less frustrating than for swordies since you dont have to walk up to snail up to the damn crystals to get that stamina back, just shooting them at sight instead.
You dont need to feed or level the companion or anything either…just need to have one.
Main selling point to the class as it is right now, is not the pet riding (otherwise Schwarzer Reiter has been more than you need, a few ranks already as well), it’s for xbow builds to be able to upgrade their choice of subweapon into freaking swords being an option.
The only downside to it is really the list of your other skills that cannot be used mounted and that varies from none to dealbreaker depending on your r2-r7 class choices of course. Im only salty about setting pavises and lachrymator… and even with the latter I can imagine it being changed some day.
Really curious where this class is going in c2/3.
Was just a simple question and I turned my post into a class review, sorry about that xD

Agreed on the movespeed.
Hacka may become a future One Circle Wonder class because the attributes really do a lot.
Realistically, most of the skills in the game that are only usable while mounted could feasibly be usable unmounted. IMC is just lazy.
What’s more disappointing is that so many skills aren’t usable while mounted for literally no reason. Every single rogue skill should be usable while mounted.
Yeh, while I can sort of understand not being able to put down QS Pavises mounted (feel like it’d go in the companions head xDDD…), you’d think that if you can stab enemies with a dagger from the mount, you’d also be able to throw smoke bombs from the mount.
Yeah, not to mention feint. Not being able to feint while mounted is a big nerf to ranger/rogue/hakka.
Capture not being usable while mounted I can understand. But you can’t even use Vendetta while mounted, which is literally just shooting a crossbow.
OH RIGHT
Yea freaking Feint… I don’t have Ranger in my build (lol), but whenever there is one in the party, I’m like “damn I wanna throw Feints in my rotation to boost their Barrages, but re-mounting is too inconvenient c.c”.
If you have hunter though I heard a pet that is using coursing can be mounted.
