Leave spears alone, remove the ability to survive horsebump!
Only if the damage is ramped up SO much that teammates insta die aswell, or it will just be a case of ride thru flattening everything, knowing the enemies will die.
I suppose you didn't calculate it carefully.
What I suggested won't make low level peasants not be able to stop cavalry. Even a lvl 10 guy with a spear can do some damage to a horse easily with a bit of timing or speed bonus. And if they can do some damage of course that should be rewarded. But if a spearman don't even have a clue about timing and can't damage the horse, should not be able to stop it. What is so wrong with that?
Actually you're right.Clearly a misunderstanding I see.
Even a lowlvl peasant with a scythe SHOULD deal a significant amount of dmg to whatever horse is charging him if he stabs it in the face. Remove no-dmg stabs to horses. Add a minimum damage of 40HP for stopped horses.
Considering how many times the shield of a horseman sucks up the damage from a perfectly placed pike in the horse's head, for the cavalry to continue at full speed and taking 20-30 % of the piker's health with a bump, the low damage thrust is the last to worry about. I played a lot of cavalry on my main btw, and that shield shit was terribly broken, more so than the low damage thrusts that rear horses.That is indeed broken. So what? Your argument is to keep 2 broken things because they balance each other out in a sense?
The thrust is REALLY easy to deal with if you know how, especially for heavy cav, it really doesn't need a nerf.Hmm... Can you explain how? Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

In this game I have never seen such a class to have that much superiority over another class.
Hmm... Can you explain how? Maybe I'm doing something wrong.Slow down to a speed where you won't get reared before he hits you, then as he almost glances on your horse you can bumpslash/just slash him.

Are you really trying to make easymode even easier? Shame on you.
Instead of QQing you could try and open your eyes while riding and check for long, pointy sticks - also called polearms, and not ride into them. Its really not hard you know.
I'll support this IF cav rear if I'm holding my pikes thrust, without me even having to press attack.
Cos none of the horses (afaik) have the blindfolds, and no horse is gonna run into my sharp stick :D
