Hey, I'd like to play as a cavalryman primarily, using the great, sometimes heavy lance and some sword (I am thinking about heavy bastard or longsword - at least if it uses the two-handed wps on horse...?),  while being competitive on foot aswell, using polearms (because to me, they are more fun), preferably bec de corbine or glaive. Any tips aiming for lvl 31? And does this hybrid even makes sense atm? Thanks for answer.

bastard weapons without shield always use 2h profficiency
after patch, with high WM it's easy to make a two weapon hybrid. But if you think of switching lance to longsword on horseback - that'd be quite original...

[Albrecht_von_Romagna]

And how many weapon points shall I have in polearms and two-handed (which would be only for cavalry use) to be effective?

This is what I have in mind:

Level: 31

Strength: 15 
Agility: 21

Weapon Master: 7
Athletics: 7
Riding: 7
Iron Flesh: 5
Shield: 1
Power Strike: 5

One Handed: 33
Two Handed: 110
Polearm: 148

I just did longsword on horseback. The speed penalty makes it feel almost as slow as the LHB. Respecced to 1h in the end (although I do miss that longsword).

Thinking of going 2h cav.
So far I'm thinking of:
24/15
8 Powerstrike
0 Ironflesh
5 Riding
5 Weapon Master
5 Athletics
Persian Battle Axe, Eastern Warhorse.
Will this work?

yep that would work for sure, i was using this all the time, with next level ups just spam IF , i would use bardiche though because of its lenght and heavier horse such as plated charger (hurr durr) i was using that)) or catapracht or mamluke horse cuz of their height.

[Shaksie]

Thanks Latvian, I shall do this

Is the charger any good for 1h cav? I'm using Eastern Warhorse and it's a bit too weak. I don't want to use Mamluk horse because it will look weird with my armor.

..replace your armor with your horse & vice versa.

Can someone inbox me the polearm lancer cav build 18/21

please not too certain on the stats

Thanks

Never. It's an ugly horse and all armor that suits it is also ugly. And it's used by everyone and everything.

I think since last major patch build requirements have changed. Seriously think 15/24 at 30 going either 18/24 or 15/27 at lvl 33 is now best for 2h. Obviously max ps, wm and ath with spare into if or shield. Before patch I found 24/15 going 24/18 or 27/15 was best for me.
