Title: What is a good horse crossbowman/1 hand cav build?
Post by: POOPHAMMER on July 22, 2011, 04:52:31 am
I am personally going to try this loadout and the build below, or maybe another someone posts

My gear will be:
Armour-
Helmet: Undecided
Body: Lordly Light Kuyak
Gloves: Lordly Mail gauntlets
Boots: Splinted leather greaves

Horses-
Champion Cataphract
Champion Rouncey
Spirited Courser
(Hopefully a Champion Sumpter some time)

Weaponry-
Masterwork Long Arming Sword
Light Crossbow
Masterwork Steel Bolts (2 slots of them)

The build

Any thoughts on my loadout here? It looks good in my head but I am not sure how this will work out on paper, also willing to hear out other builds from people

Perfect horse xbowman build is:

    Strength: 7
    Agility: 30

    Skills to attributes: 4

    Ironflesh: 2
    Riding: 10
    Horse Archery: 5
    Weapon Master: 10

    Crossbow: 190

That's it.

The most fun build I've played so far would have to be

Courser is nice for hit and run shots, especially when you need to get away from enemy HA to reload. Practice lance is great for dashing in on unsuspecting targets, that and the lol factor. Doesn't matter if you're on foot or on horse, you're gonna be able to get some distance between yourself and the enemy.

I have 7/30 build and it works well, 5 HA and people raging about your build is awesome.

My friend did build with 18 agi and 3 ha. You can hit with crossbow with it but it will not be very accurate in full speed.

Sorry mate, but like others said, Horse Crossbowman is only viable if you go 7 str/rest agi.

Poop, I've been interested in trying a 15/24 build for a HX hybrid

That looks good too, but I love to be able to kill things with my melee in one hit most of the time from a horse, HA 3 with an xbow isnt that bad at all.

With the extra riding, and a fast horse, 1 shotting is still possible with 5 PS. Remember: 1h don't have a penalty on horseback, and the speed bonus is incredible.

Let me know how your build turns out though. My experience with a HA hybrid were very disappointing. I hope yours fairs better.

Well this is how i am doing at 15/15

Kills   44
Deaths   85

I imagine by 21/18 it should start to look a lot better

He will, Poopy got a huge amount of gold. I am not sure how much, but he has a ton of MW items and I bet he got a lot of gold as well. I just bought an item from him for 725k.
