Max-level rangers can train the beastmaster skill 'mastery of savage
beatings'. It will allow them to use a whip or poker in their offhand, but
still use guided strike/feral attack. The skill is does not have a random
chance of working, instead, larger and more powerful mounts require a higher
skill% for this to work.

Max level barbarians can now train the beastmaster skill 'alpha dog
mentality'. When used on a mount that has a low chance of succeeding with its
primary attack, this skill raises the mount's chance of hitting a percent
based on the mastery skill. The mount's chance of hitting will never be higher
than the skill% of guided strike/feral attack, however.

Both of these skills are available at reboot and are extremely expensive,
because of the amount of power they provide.
