It's also frustrating as heck to fight 1h cav on Destriers now since Destriers aren't 1-hit, and they always get a lightning follow-up strike.
Yeah, 1h cav players shouldn't be allowed on a horse that needs more than 1 hit to go down! BOO!!!
NERF!!!!
Pro tip:
Downblock+jump to the side. As you would when facing lancer cav.
#1 NA 1h'er Cav here...

#1 NA 1h'er Cav in my own little mind...
#1 NA 1h'er Cav here...Complete and utter shite, because as a so called last resort why do so many of them ride around with the stab cocked?
Its not a bump stab, its a stab bump. Your stab hits BEFORE the person is bumped. If you sat there and downblocked you would only take charge dmg from the horse or you could just jump away while downblocking just like lances.
Its quite balanced, because if you miss your stab (which isnt that hard) you are completely defenseless. I have died countless times missing my target.
This stab attack is an actual equalizer for 1h cav. It is the only attack I use against an aware and READY victim, and it is also a target of last resort...due to how risky it is, you are much better finding another target or someone to bump for teammates.
Lancers get couching, 1h get frontal stabs.
Dont change a thing.

TW never fixed it because 1h cav were food for lancers. Now that you've managed to fuck lancers we have this shitty bump cav.
And yes, PROS know it is BUMP STAB, thus unblockable.

Because they're preying on people who arent very good, just like most lancers.Rubbish.
Rubbish.
You also can not say it balances with couch. Couch you can riposte if lucky, dodge if you see it.
Hold downblock next time you get bump stabbed.. let me know how it works out for you.
Downblock and jump to the side.Do that when you turn around and there is the cav.
Do that when you turn around and there is the cav.Worked like a charm :D
i recorded a video today but video wasnt recorded
i recorded a video today to prove that the stabs land before bumps, but video wasnt recorded, so I'll redo it later.
You can test it yourself. have someone with an arena shield stand there and block, charge in and stab. the shield gets hit first. if it was a bump stab the shield wouldnt be taking hits.
That is because you are doing it wrong, you have to bump first then release or release JUST before the bump hits.
If you wait for a bump, that means anyone with 2h sword or long 1h can easily dehorse and kill you in the same attack. You stab first or you dieNot really. fresh horse takes damage, does not even flinch, dead infantry.
LLJK doesnt know shit about 1h bro. Lady Gaga is your only 1h'er and he doesnt even play. Last time I spec'd him he was pretty awful.

Advocating this silly fast stab and the ever annoying bump hit seems to indicate you can not cav without it.
So your idea of playing as cavalry is sacrificing your horse every attempt to kill someone?
I can tell you've never played in Strategus Battle v2.0 with cav. Enemy team has 1 pike for every 4 men and cav is basically useless.
The problem is even if you are number 1 in NA you are still only number 467 in EU or the worst in AUS(number 17).

This is so priceless! :lol:
I agree, that is a problem that more scrubs need to accept!
