Lies, you are fine with ps5, its not the most optimal for 1h but you will kill anyway, specially from horseback. I always leave my last ps6 point for the end of my leveling and i dont many troubles killing all my way to level 31.....
trikipuma you are rider,as infrantery you need to have 7-8ps because when you encounter someone in plate or heavy armored 2h heroes you cant do much dmg.
You can if you use steel pick or some other lame blunt/pierce weapon,but if you use sword it will glance,and bounce,and not deal much dmg.
More hits you need to kill,bigger the chance to die. You need to set up your build to kill everything in 2,max 3 hits or you are completly usless as 1h.
Axmen will barake your shield in 2 hits,2h heroes have more athl,and use kick often,and spam like ninjas,ninjas will spam like crazy,so you have one chance to kill it.
Being shielder is fustrating.
