Title: 2 riding and a sumpter
Post by: Andy on March 03, 2013, 01:15:15 am
Just today I made an STF build of a guy decked in full plate, and I had 2 points left over, so I decided to put them into riding. I picked up a sumper, thinking that, "Hey, it may help me get around faster, right?"
I swear to god, there were a couple of agility crutchers who were outrunning me on foot! It felt like this!

I have trouble believing that. Even during my 10/33 gen I could still get outrun by sumpters.

We were going slightly uphill (about 10 degrees), and I think it was a 3/39 STF, on account of that he was using a nordic short sword.

Sumpters are truly useless horses. I move that the model be replaced with something more appropriate, like a battle donkey. Perfect peasant mount.

It really needs to be swapped with a donkey.

If they make a Battle Donkey, I'm looming it just so it says Champion Battle Donkey!

Sumpter horses are slower than runners except at the highest speeds, which you only reach after a couple of seconds of straight line acceleration on flat ground.

As a horse archer with 0 ath, I sometimes would spawn a sumpter horse just to get my to my shooting position on the siege server. But that's with 8 riding. 2 riding is like pony rides at the carnival.

I once tried to play a 3 riding 0 HA horse crossbowman before I retired at 32. I was surprisingly accurate with the xbow but all I could hit were enemy horses. Then I managed to tk Cyranule with a perfect headshot.
