18/18
6 PS
6 shiled
6 ATH
6 Riding
6 WM
100 hand
135 polearm
elite cav shield
Liuyidao
Long Halt Blade.
How well would something like this work? and can you swing the long haft blade from horseback?

There's really no need for the 1 hander. Anything you can hit from horseback with a 1h, you can hit easier with a polearm. Unless you only want the shield for when youre dismounted, just go pure polearm and make yourself 18/21 or 21/18 or even 24/15.

its for when i get dismounted, or when i need to play defensively on the ground. so thats im not entirely useless, as well as a arrow sponge, also while dismounted..

This.
Btw, from what I know, horseback animations for the hafted blades are bugged. But the plus is that you can go with only one weapon and be ok on horse and good on foot.

actually wrong. 1h stabs have very wonky hitbox and can hit people directly infront of horse, where polearms cant easily, especially hafted blades.
But I agree but putting 50 into 1h for a sidearm is pretty pointless. just use a shortened spear or some 1slot polearm if your dismounted.
Remember that you can switch weapons while you are falling from a dead horse, dont wait til you stand up.

well i was trying to go with a pseudo chinese feel, i know mongolians used lancers, and while i like lancers, i do need to be able to work in tandem with group forces at times, so the reason for the 100 1hand and 120 pole is for some versatility.
im guessing aside from the "dont use 1hand then" stuff, how well would the long haft blade work from horseback?

Not very well, ive seen very few use it effectively and the animations look HORRIBLE. 1 hand cav is fun, but if you really want to use a polearm go lancer all the way otherwise you will just be a target by other lancer cav (which will be able to kill you easily with you never even touching them or their horses).
If you decide to go 1 hand instead of long hafted, drop 3-4 points of WM and get IF, it will help you and slow down your swing a bit to make timing your slashes easier.

oh well off are 2hand cav? and while on horseback does it count as 2h for wpf or 1hand?
