Title: What's the best horse and lance for a hardhitting cavalry?
Post by: theprojectnemesis on September 08, 2012, 03:40:04 am

Thinking about going cavalry but more of a 1 hitter type and not sure about which lance to use and which horse too and must i bring a shield and a 1h with me when my horse gets killed?

Get a

Lance or Heavy lance. I prefer the Lance since it has a faster thrust than the heavy lance
Destrier is a good horse through be careful going cav due to upkeep. Other choice is the Courser due to it's speed

The Shield is not needed through it helps when charging archers/throwers/xbows

I do recommend for a sidearm that can be used on horse back, there is a couple of polearms and 2hs that can be used on horseback

Well it kinda depends what you count as "hard hitting" cav. As in str will give you higher ps + bigger base damage, but agi gives you more riding and thus more acceleration, manouver and speed and speed always gives you more damage. There is no simple answer to that question. If you want to 1 hit people you also need to actually hit the target, which might be difficult with low riding builds. Still if you don't hit the head you will most likely have to take another turn and hit him once more even if you have high strength.

I use heavy lance and arabian/courser. Some cheaper horses are fine too if you know how to use them. Desert horse and Rouncey are good low cost horses. I don't like normal lance. Light lance is better in my opinion of the other two ;)
EDIT: Sidearm could be basically anything. Depends on if you want to take a shield or not. Without shield you can take some 2slot polearm that you'll use once you get dismounted (good thing is that you don't have to split your wpf. Just the way I like it. You might like some 1h proficiency for example? You have to decide yourself)

Couple guides:
Builds and stuff

Tactics, that make you a hard hitting cav (build is irrelevant)
