Saw the 21/15 and 18/18 build on the "solid builds" thread and they look pretty decent, but I was wondering what the best of the best 1h/shield cav use...?
Does anyone use a 15/24 or 15/27 build? or what about 15/21 even with athletics and IF...?
Trade off in melee weapon damage for horse speed worth it?
I'm planning on using something like a barded warhorse, padded warhorse, War Horse or Large Warhorse.
What about this build...?
18/21 hp: 55
1 if, 6 ps, 3 shield, 4 athletics, 7 riding, 2 weapon mastery
1h (123)
Thanks in advance! :mrgreen:

so last gen I did this and it was decently balanced
18/18
65 hp
6 IF
6 PS
6 Riding
6 Shield
5 Ath
I used a warhorse and an eastern warhorse, preferably the eastern one since its slightly better. You don't need any WM since you'll be on horseback, speed bonus/bumps is what gets you kills. Shield and Athletics are good for when you will get dehorsed. IF I like to have but you could move it around.

If it were me, I'd prefer to have more athletics for when I get dehorsed. I'd choose a fairly fast, long 1h, such as the Italian or a scimitar (elite or reg), then go with:
18/21
6 ps
3 shield
7 ath
7 riding
If you ever level beyond 30, add a point to shield, then start filling in wm or if, whichever you prefer. I like 4 shield, as it gives you access to some of the best shields. No wm means you will swing a bit slower, but with a decently quick 1h you should do fine.

I do best with a 24/15 str build and a heavy horse, but some people prefer a 18/21 build and Arabian gokart. Really depends on how you play.
My build at lvl30:
PS8
IF6
SH4
RD5
Now at lvl32:
PS8
IF7
SH4
RD5
ATH5

I much prefer 21/15 over all others, having the extra skill points lets you max a lot more, and makes you able to be a lot more viable as a threat if dehorsed.

This or the opposite, 15/21. Weaker and not a 1hitter but more horses available and you can put 7 points in Athletics if you prefer movement over damage. But if you get dehorsed with enemies close by you'll probably not survive due to low hit points with the 15/21 build.
