Have fun facing the nerf to heavy horses, you will find it ridiculous that your horse can die in 1 -2 hit :O

Edit: it doesn't happen all the time but it does happen sometimes and it will make lots of heavy horse user rage

Since you're Riding a mamluk i would go STR, but youre build is viable.

24/15
3 IF/WM/or more ATH. Or Shield if you go one less ATH
8 PS
2 ATH
5 Riding

You're not gonna need WM if you are going to stay on the horse all the time but ofc youre gonna have to choose either 1h or pole.
after all its just a suggestion :D

id suggest 21/15 strenght build. but the same  build you would use as regular light cav, you should use as heavy cav.
Tale note though that heavy horses have been quite nerfed, and altough you can still survive descent ammount of arrows, headshots would make your horse die in just 2-3 hits.
Your horse will die more quickly from from melee hits then before, so no longer can you walk away once being stoped in melee clusterfuck.

plus the repairs are extremy high (4k gold) and occur often, so be sure you have some cushon money saved up, cause you will loose your gold quickly.

It will increase your chance to get away / ride faster and bump alot harder  :mrgreen:

You'll get lots of bump kills with that much riding and a champ mamluk. Probably not so many lance kills.

After 16 generations as cav, i keep coming back to 18 / 18 myself.

(click to show/hide)

Also, i strongly recommend NOT neglecting Athletics. Horses die, but often you can still put up a decent fight on foot or until you manage to whistle a free horse. Add to that the fact that many maps (like Nord Town) are simply not viable as cav.
So not maxing out athletics as a cav seems silly to me.

My (+3)Plated Charger (+3)Morningstar/(+3)H. Lance build:

Strength:18
Agility:21

Two Handed:150
Polearm:95

Weapon Master:7
Athletics:7
Riding:7
Iron Flesh:5
Power Strike:6

Super effective on OR off horse.

Either maximize athletics or don't put any points in it at all.
I would go for 15/21 7 athletics or 24/15 0 athletics 2 wm.

not true at all,i saw domusperkele takes at least 10 hits to horse and that bich dont want to die. Horse was full of arrows i hitted horse in head 2 times,and it keep going.
Lance mamluk cav is not a good idea,1h mamluk cav is great idea.
