any armor with the word HERALDIC in it should show your banner on it.

if you miss, you're fucked, and if you have to go out of your way to throw at a cav, you're almost certainly going to be in a position where a second one can spear the back of your head. As has been pointed out, all they have to do is not be stupid to rack up kills. You, as the foot guy, needs perfect constant 360 degree awareness, good aim, and the good luck to have an idiot charge you when you're prepared for it. Trample damage added to this mix is moronic.
People need to stop complaining about OP cav. In my five characters, I have never used a horse, and have never had problems with them. I agree with AngryScotsman in that to kill horses, you need to invest in anti-cav abilities. I have found throwing to be an ample threat to cav, both armored and unarmored. Just because your character's build is weak to cav, doesn't mean that you need to complain about it being OP. My character's weakness is against spammers, due to my incredibly low agility. Balance and weaknesses are something that comes with the game.
As a primarily cav guy I try to be extra conscious of friendlies with the new ruleset. At the spawn if I am not in the front rank I wait for everyone to disperse as much as possible before moving. I am pretty patient in game, since it is a game and the goal is to have fun. As cautious as I am there are still times in game when people make last second direction changes or I f*** up and impact is unavoidable. One thing is certain that if I bump a friendly it is never intentional. Unfortuantely accidents happen. Even so, as conscientious(sp?) as I am I still get the occasional person who stabs my horse as soon as we spawn but in the long run they are only hurting themselves since they have just handicapped someone on their own team.
Whats my point, who knows, but let me use this post to apologize in advance to anyone that I might accidentally run into in the future.
