The Heavy Lance is vastly superior while on the horseback I've now come to realize.. no wonder I was never able to get the first(and only) hit when facing up against other cavs.

Then I highly recommend that you stick with what you are doing, as making a profit with a cheap set is vastly preferable then struggling to get lucky with a break-even set.

Also, it will teach you to become rather deadly, so when you do switch (temporarily or permanently) into a higher gear set you will feel noticeably more powerful.

Yeh I don't feel like I'm performing horribly bad, usually I can keep a 1:1 kd-ratio(or at least close to) although if I get hit twice that usually means I eat the dirty hehe

I've upgraded my horse to a rouncey now though, makes a big difference and I don't use it on all maps anyway so that can be a bit more expensive I guess. How's a Heraldic mail with surcoat and mail hood, boots and mittens for a slightly more expensive gear(About 25k with the horse, 15k without)? That's what I plan to wear once I stop being in need to hoard money.

why do you have suck cheap gear? you can have equipment up to 30k if your are new to this game.

Can't seem to make much of a profit if I wear better gear tbh..

I'll borrow this thread a little for opinions on my own light cav build, very newb so be gently please.

I was planning on going for a build like this:

Str: 18
Agi: 18

All WPP in polearm

Iron Flesh   6
Power Strike   6
Shield      4
Athletics   5
Riding      5
Horse Archery   0
Power Draw   0
Power Throw   0
Weapon Master   6   

Viable at all? My first time leveling up a char so I haven't got much clue tbh.

What kinda armor would be good for a build like this? Currently I use leather armor, Red Tassel spear, Kite Shield and a Sumpter horse(total cost 11,598 gold).

most of them aim for your horse even if you dont have a shield

Makes you a lot less fucked once they get your horse though.
