With cav you don't increase you own HP, and you either sit on something that can be oneshot by any decent build, or sit on something that feels like a supertanker, even though you have to catch powerboats that copulated with mosquitos. Either way it's a big ass target for any non-blind archer. Also, losing your horse automatically makes you take a nap on the ground (the longest stun in the game), long enough for some people to get 3 free hits. So when you get dehorsed you are a normal footman like every other footman except that in average you took two solid hits, so most often you are a dead normal footman. Moreover, sure you can run away with great speed, but during the century you spend accelerating, you can easily get hit and ganked. Not even mentioning the fact that when a human stands in front of a stopped horse, the horse cannot push the human, it's like a brick wall. Finally, the "awesome" pierce damage was already not enough to kill some archers with full speed bonus before this patch. Now it's more like "pityful".

If you try to block a lancer, you are doing it the very wrong way. No matter the attack he's planning (btw all cav moves with any horse and any build are telegraphed 2 hours before being executed), there's always a way you can dodge and hit. Things like bump-"something" are the easiest way to get killed for a cav, cause they have 0 defense while doing it. If even with a 2h you get killed by cav in duels I really don't know what is wrong with you.



btw even if I sound mad I am not that much. I abandoned cav. It is just irritating to witness such ignorance.

either way it is a large advantage if you actually know how to cav and I am sorry you cannot see that

True. Pretty much like any item in the mod.

Except cav lancer is the easiest. Stab or bump people engaged in combat in the back, gg enemy down. Put 10+ horses on one team, guaranteed victory. Put 10+ footmen on the other? Not so much. The lance damage and couch nerf was long overdue.

Don't fix archery nerf 2H!!!!!!!!!!! 2Handers raging is more fun , but thou shalt not trade GTX danish

Oh yeah when you get dehorsed you're also a footman just like any other non-cav footman, just 3 stat points less.

With 60% less hp and a crowd of angry peasants who jumps on you without giving you time to get up.
Very exciting life of a dehorsed cav...

And it also has many disadvantages that most people do not see, or "forget" to mention because of their rage against cav..


When I see that more than 60% of pikemen are among the players easier to backstab.
There should be little buff certain brain rather than nerf cavs ..

[Iymore]

archery is fine if you have 13 pd. NERF 2H THEY TOOK %90 OF MY HP WITH 1 HIT

Not to mention easy prey for enemy lancers to finish you off.

I don't see many dehorsed cav actually make it to the melee fight alive. Usually they get insta lanced/ganked whilst on the floor.

I'm surrounded by a bunch of men who are, and i mean this in the most derogatory way possible, whiny little bitches. Holy hell.

Archers shouldn't be able to kite all day an cav is all ready a powerful no brainer kdr booster...

So they got nerfed deal with it...

An yes it sucks that your builds got butt raped but everyone else have been trough it too..

[Gristle]

You whine and bitch for nerfs more than anyone I've ever seen, Tzar. It's been constant for years now.

[Miwiw]

Will we get more of that chinese armor stuff? Shields, horses, weapons. =)

Also that crusader stuff was alright and would be a good addition... or is there some problem with .osp stuff?

[Herr_Thomas]

Update the fucking OP.

[Tzar]

Pretty sure it was said on irc yesterday that this whole ath thing was gonna be removed next patch and there will be a different approach to the whole kiting thing.
So do not respec.

[Latvian]

we miss you
