Title: Hoplite/Cav build
Post by: SirProto on April 16, 2012, 04:29:48 am
I'm making a hoplite/cav character that will be anti-inf whilst on horseback and anti-cav if my horse is killed or I get off. I just wanted some opinions on the build :mrgreen:

(click to show/hide)

I'll be using an elite cav shield + a double sided lance and riding on a rouncey  :mrgreen:

go 18/18 6ps 6if 6rid 6ath 4shield 1wm all wpf in poles.

use elite cav shield and the light or normal lance they are both good weapons on foot the light lance especially. also if you can afford it use a destrier or courser the rouncey is garbage.

I'll try this too :mrgreen:

Will 1wm make me too slow with my lance and shield on foot though?  :|

You  should think about 7 riding, it really makes a big difference and with a arabian horse you can dog fight your way in and out of any shit.

5 ath is enough for a hoplite class as you be a support class when infantry.  your still be fairly fast to in light/medium armour.

Strength: 15
Agility: 21

Hit points: 52

Skills to attributes: 2

Ironflesh: 1
Power Strike: 5
Shield: 5
Athletics: 5
Riding: 7
Weapon master: 6

Polearm: 156

anything above 150 in wpf is wasted.

not at all, even with 0wm it would be fine so long as you dont try and overhead up close. thrusts hit very fast with any speed of weapon but the overhead will be slow.

I really don't want to be using an arabian warhorse or one of the higher tier horses, the upkeep is far too much  :( I might use a steppe horse, for the extra maneuver over the slight speed increase of the rouncey

Well I already have 6wm  :mrgreen: so I'll try a 0wm build next gen I think!

thanks for the advice  :D

Cav is synonymous with money loss in crpg. If you use cav, you'll most likely lose money if you don't go infantry every now and then in order to break even.
